The standings are now:

166 - tOSU

Props to the fencing team:osu:

Now we need to get some more national championships in other sports to go along with our good fencing program.

Don't know much about fencing...but I know quite a bit about the love of all things Buckeye!

This is awesome! Congrats to the entire team!

Now go share this amazing feeling with your fellow student-athletes (most notebly our fooball Buckeyes) and put some more fire in their bellies. As if our guys need any more motivation.

 

[Cornerback6]

Anytime we beat out ND in anything...especially a championship, it's extremely satisfying.

 

[Buckeye Buh Nim]

Way to go fencing bucks.

Gotta love a sport where the match/competition is called a Duel.




Now we just need a smily icon of a zoro slashing a number one on a ND flag.

 

[SanAntonioBuck]

Woohoo! National Champs! :osu:

Congratulations to The Buckeyes. They came out today and dominated! Way to slam the door on the domers.

We respect everyone, but if you are in our way we crush you.--Vladimir Nazlymov
