TBDBITL gets greasy in halftime show during Wisconsin Badgers game
It's Big Ten football season now in Columbus, and the teams are starting the race to the Big Ten Championship game in December.
So the pressure is on. And that includes the Ohio State Marching Band, as it performed at halftime of the Ohio State game for the fourth straight week to open the season. TBDBITL will have to try and out-do itself once again next week before the Buckeyes go on the road.

The Buckeyes open this season with five straight games at Ohio Stadium, which is celebrating its 100th year (something Charles Woodson learned today) as the Ohio State stadium. This means five straight halftime concerts.
So far, here's what the themes have been:
This week, the band honored the musical "Grease" which debuted in 1971 and was turned into a film in 1978 starting John Travolta and the late Olivia Newton-John. The Ohio State band performed these hits from the musical:

Summer Nights
Greased Lightnin’
Hopelessly Devoted to You
You’re the One That I Want
