Ohio State Football News: Michigan Week Means Lots Of LL Cool J For The Buckeyes

It's officially Michigan week in Columbus, and for Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer, that means just one thing - LL Cool J. LOTS of LL Cool J.

Per Bill Landis of the Northeast Ohio Media Group, "Urban Meyer's song of choice during Ohio State-Michigan week is "It's Time for War" by LL Cool J. It will blast in the football building ad nauseum every day this week leading up to Saturday's noon kickoff against the Wolverines."

Meyer may make some ears bleed and heads shake with some good old-fashioned hip hop, but he's just trying to keep with an honored tradition in advance of OSU's date with their bitter rivals.

"Players will get tired of hearing the song I always play," Meyer said. "It's nuts. Insane. Same way when it was Coach Bruce in 1986 when I experienced my first rivalry game. It's different. Everything, it's the song and it's just the whole Woody changes for this game. We're honored to play it. We understand our responsibilities of it, too."
