Jesse Owens is one of the greatest athletes of all time, regardless of sport.
The Ohio State track and field legend and four-time Olympic gold medalist took the No. 3 spot on BTN's "Big Ten Icons" list, compiled in 2011.
With Friday's release of "Race," a sports-drama based on Owens, the former Buckeyes standout is all over popular culture.
That includes Jeopardy!
Take it away, Alex Trebek: "Jesse Owens, known as the Buckeye Bullet, broke an astounding three world records and tied a fourth, all within 45 minutes, for this Big Ten school."
Easy, right? Welp, here's the contestant's response: "What is the University of Ohio?"
Yikes.
Watch it all in the video in the tweet above.
