Love it or hate it, Saturday Night Live is a cultural icon. And on the most recent episode (season 47, episode 15) the Ohio State Marching Band (TBDBITL) got a shout-out and was even the focus in one of the late night sketches.
Bowen Yang and musical host Zoe Kravitz get overly excited about hearing the OSU marching band blare “Don’t Stop Belivin'” by Journey. Yang yells out “It’s the OSU Marching Band, off their album ‘Buckeye Bangers'” during the sketch when other confused cast members seem unsure of what is happening.

It there was ever any question about The Ohio State University Marching Band’s place in the hierarchy of college football marching bands, all doubt has been erased. To be spoofed by one of the longest-running TV shows of all time is to know you’ve made it.
Of course, Buckeye fans didn’t need the extra proof, but it’s still fun to see your favorite school mentioned all in good fun.
