Forget ESPN, the Columbus Zoo Won the Countdown to the National Championship

In a day full of great photos, quotes and soundbites, the Columbus Zoo is your champion of the countdown to the National Championship.

First, this came this magnificent tweet of staffers striking an O-H-I-O pose with a FREAKING TIGER:

Followed shortly by a giraffe getting in on the O-H-I-O action:
