Showing True OSU Spirit...

"Spirit. Attitude. Character. Courage. Motivation." These were the words shouted by the crowd when Harry Birdwell asked the group to call out what Pistol Pete means to us at OSU. And it was up to artist Sanda VanZandt to bring those words to life with her latest creation - a larger-than-life portrayal of OSU's mascot.
