USAC brings staff pep rally back as standalone event

The Ohio State cheerleaders will perform at USAC's staff pep rally Sept. 11 on the Oval.
The pageantry of Ohio State football returns to campus early with the revival of the University Staff Advisory Committee Pep Rally for all staff from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Sept. 11 on the Oval in front of Bricker Hall.
Last year the pep rally was folded into the Rally for Wellness at French Fieldhouse. But USAC was concerned it didn’t supply the punch needed to get staff excited for the upcoming season.
“The Rally for Wellness focus is on health and wellness, and it should stay that way,” said USAC Chair Amy Ehrlich. “The pep rally is outside, which gives it a whole other atmosphere. It should have its own energy and therefore remain its own entity.”
President Gordon Gee is scheduled to speak, and the band, cheerleaders and Brutus will be there to whip up the crowd’s enthusiasm for what could be another incredible year for the Buckeyes. Free popcorn and soda will be served too.
Staff members get a kick out of watching TBDBITL perform at the staff pep rally, which will be Sept. 11 on the Oval.
“It’s another way to show staff we appreciate what they do,” Ehrlich said. “I went to school at OSU, and remember just sitting on the Oval. It is an awesome place to hold the rally. And it’s a great excuse for people who maybe don’t always get to the central part of campus to come join us and experience a true bonding opportunity with their fellow employees.”
Staff are encouraged to wear their best OSU regalia, bond with Gee and shout O-H-I-O as loud as possible.
Of course, what would a rally be without some predictions. Ehrlich said the opener against Navy will be a win, “but we’ve got some growing pains to go through, so I think it will be 24-3.”
Overall she said it will be a one-loss season, but not to Southern Cal, which she predicts the Buckeyes will be beat at home. Winning on the road at Penn State is the tough assignment, Ehrlich said.
“I really hope the team can do it, though,” she said. “What kind of great year would we have then?”
