Buckeye fans get their troll on with the help of a famous coach...or at least his statue

The troll is strong with these ones.

Ohio State and Alabama don't have what many would consider a real rivalry as they play in different conference and don't ever schedule each other for out-of-conference games. However, the SEC vs Big Ten debate always keeps the fan bases fired up and it reach a fever pitch in 2014 when the Buckeyes beat the Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoffs to reach the National Championship.

That seems to have carried over these three guys who visited Tuscaloosa and took a photo that some people will recognize very quickly. Especially if they are Ohio State fans.

It looks like these guys managed to spell the classic O-H-I-O (usually done by the band before games) using Nick Saban's help. How kind of the coach's statue to help troll the man he was created to commemorate. Strong work from these three trolls to get Alabama's own coach to help them show their school's superiority.
