Spirit Rider
The original Spirit Rider statue sits outside of the arena on the northeast side. The spirit rider wears a cowboy hat, rides a horse known as bullet, and carries an OSU flag.
The spirit rider can also be found inside the arena in the southwest corner. This spirit kneels with his hat off, in front of a memorial for the ten men who died in a 2001 plane crash.

Famous quotes containing the words spirit and/or rider:
“Calm fell. From Heaven distilled a clemency;
There was peace on earth, and silence in the sky;
Some could, some could not, shake off misery:
The Sinister Spirit sneered: ‘It had to be!’
And again the Spirit of Pity whispered, ‘Why?’”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse’s good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
