Urban Meyer Introduces A New Tradition At Ohio State

At the Urban Meyer Student Town Hall Meeting held today in the Union, Urban unveiled what he hopes to be a new tradition to add to the many football traditions at Ohio State. 

"The staff calls them "quick cals" (quick calisthenics) which they use during warmups for practices (and games) to make sure the team and coaches are high energy and ready to go."


For home games starting this fall, after warming up, and before heading into the locker room for the final time before kickoff at home, the team will face the South Stands Student Section and together the players and the fans will do a set of "quick cals" to get the energy in the stadium and on the field up before kickoff. 

Here's some video so you too, can join in and learn the new quick cals. Think of it as a way to prepare yourself for the games in the 'Shoe. Meyer obviously has hope that this exercise can be an easy way of firing up the crowd to get the energy level very high. Home field advantage can help.
