Script Ohio: Buckeyes fans walk 19 miles to spell Ohio on Google Maps

By Alex Butler

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 18 (UPI) -- It appears the wait for football is getting to some fans, weeks before the season begins.

Off of a national championship, some Ohio State Buckeyes fans used a week to track a path, then took seven hours to walk 19 miles and spell out the famed "Script Ohio" logo in Columbus, using Ohio Stadium to dot the 'I.'

"My coworker friends and thought it would be cool to start off the football season by mapping and walking the Ohio Script this past weekend and using the stadium as the "I" dotting," One of the walkers explained on Reddit. "Would anyone be interested in doing this with us next year? Maybe even as a fund raising event for a good cause."

The Reddit user "orweezy" went on to explain that there was some regret once legs grew tired.

"LOL, we got like 8 miles into it and thought.... "you know this would have been better if we biked it," orweezy said on Reddit. "It took us 6 and a half hours of walking but we made a few bar stops so from 6:30am through 2:45pm. We were doing a work competition about fitness and the metrics used was time, so we walked everywhere and I think we just carried it over. I would rather bike it next time for sure."

Orweezy, or Brian Orwick, walked the path with coworkers Brett Stone, Tim Stevens and Daryl Neville, according to ESPN.

"The biggest challenge was dotting the 'i' on Ohio Stadium," Stevens told ESPN. "That took some flexibility with the roads."
