"Hang on Sloopy" Ringtone?
Do any Ohio State fans/DUers know where one can obtain Ohio State themed ringtones, like "Hang on Sloopy"? I've been scouring the internet, but all the sites I find seem unreliable and somewhat scam-like.

1. That's an Ohio State song?
When I first heard it, I thought they were singing, "Hang on, Snoopy."
I thought it was a Peanuts thing.

"Hang on Sloopy" was written and performed by an Ohio band--the McCoys. It was number 1 on the charts, an Ohio State band member arranged it for the Marching Band, and it's been an Ohio State tradition for forty years.

It's usually played during 3rd downs or other critical plays.

5. Thanks for the clarification...I knew about the #1 on the charts...
...I was around when it was. :)

Knew the McCoys had the hit, didn't know the Ohio connection, though.

6. Yeah
It's also the "State Rock Song."

4. The McCoys
They were from Ohio and they are the ones that had the hit with that song. Rick Zerringer was the guitar player who eventually changed his name to Rick Derringer.
