Apparently he went on one of the Columbus stations, but I’m not sure how he wiggles his way out of this one. What he did was completely classless.

Yeah, apparently he was going to be on 610 at around 6 and his bullshit story is that he didn't realize it was for players and coaches only. Funny that everybody else seemed to notice the big sign saying as much.

Maybe he can’t read. One things for sure though:

Thinking about his a little bit, I definitely think--given the blatant monetization--that there is an avenue for the university to shut him down. But there's a lotta ins and lotta outs to this case. If they only go after him, you damn well know the race card is going to get thrown on the table. So do they go after the other two also, even the one who's an alum and donates money? Where's the line drawn at being a superfan and just being the run of the mill moron who feels it necessary to wear an Ohio State t-shirt, jacket and cap every time he steps onto an airplane? I think there's a clear cut case on the merits with BuckIGuy, but I think that race considerations definitely throws a monkey wrench into it. Perhaps, the memorial debacle would be the line that separates him from anyone else. Even frame it as some kind of "we're intervening because this guy needs mental health intervention.

I think it’s on other fans- not to aggressively go after the guy, but to ignore him. Don’t let him mooch at your tailgate. Don’t take pictures with him and especially don’t give him money for things. Don’t let him take up space around you in the front row if he doesn’t have a ticket.

Take this and apply it to all the super fans, which should be done regardless- but maybe this incident will bring it to more people’s attention.

If the super fans actually are fans, this won’t make an impact on them in any way... and it avoids the possibility of any unnecessarily aggressive and possibly messy “attack” on the people.
