I have never actually met buckeye cowboy, buck-i-guy or what ever his name is but while waiting outside the shott for Michigan tickets last year some of the scalpers said he was a real prick. One of the guys looked exactly like Cedric the Entertainer and was making fun of him so hard, so so fun.
Now for the Michigan game last year i had a seat right next to "Big Nut", i dont know if any of you know him but he was a very nice guy.
The story of one of the world’s biggest Buckeye fans: Jon “Big Nut” Peters
SEPTEMBER 1, 2022
Jon “Big Nut” Peters has his top three priorities straight: God, family, and the Buckeyes. Although, he admits, “family and the Buckeyes are more like 2a and 2b.”
Peters, a native of the Fremont area near Toledo, lived on his grandparents’ dairy farm until age 10. He’s still in Fremont, a 40-year employee of the Whirlpool plant in nearby Clyde, and a Buckeye fan whose impact reaches far beyond the stadium.
Peters’ first trip to the Horseshoe was as a teenager in 1976, with his grandfather.
“Unfortunately, we lost 22-0. It was a rival game, That Team Up North,” he recalled. “However, I embraced the atmosphere, the electricity, just the fact of being with my grandfather—it’s a day I’ll never forget.”
About three years later, he began attending games fairly regularly, up until what he calls “the moment when it happened.”
In 1995, Peters entered a Beat Michigan tailgate’s Best Dressed contest that changed the course of history.
“It just so happened that the grand prize was a basket of cookies from a local cookie lady—phenomenal cookies,” he said.
Peters wanted that prize.
“Everybody knows the big guy likes to eat; it’s kind of a trademark of mine,” he noted.
He didn’t paint his face, but he wore his “crazy Buckeye clothes,” and yes, he won.
The next year, Peters knew he had to up his game against the “older ladies with their fancy embroidered stuff” to win the grand prize of a Buckeye snowman sculpture.
“I wanted it for my man cave,” he recalled.
So he added face paint, and yes, he won again, and again the following year. Now he has two snowmen in his man cave, and some of those older ladies continue to jokingly remind him that they should have won.
In 2002, Peters and his wife Terese (“First Lady Nut”) attended the National Championship game. Terese painted Jon’s face for a pep rally, and the response was overwhelming.
“Talk about being humbled, that somebody would want a picture with a fat guy in face paint,” Peters said. “I had no idea.”
Terese painted him up again the next day for the game.

How about Hench(wo)men?I say we start a GoFundMe to hire a couple goons to beat the shit out of that idiot. My personal experience with him, as he tried to hustle my 13 year old son, left a foul taste ....
Hell yeah !! I get guns, tits and that insufferable asshole dead ....How about Hench(wo)men?

Okay, but hear me out. A six of Mickey's hand grenades and that's my final offer.I say we start a GoFundMe to hire a couple goons to beat the shit out of that idiot. My personal experience with him, as he tried to hustle my 13 year old son, left a foul taste ....

A classmate and friend, Fairmont High School, class of 61.
Orlis played both sides of the ball his senior year. We went 28 and 2 in his three years, losing to a Troy team with Tommy Vaughn and Tom Meyers, both of whom would play in the NFL, and Chaminde led by qb Don Unverferth my senior year.F.
Neutron Man was the original and the best. I used to love standing up with my Dad or Grandad and turning towards his section as he danced. Sadly my kids memories will be getting hustled by BuckIGuy in front of 7/11 on Lane
Now THAT, is how it's done. RIPOrlis played both sides of the ball his senior year. We went 28 and 2 in his three years, losing to a Troy team with Tommy Vaughn and Tom Meyers, both of whom would play in the NFL, and Chaminde led by qb Don Unverferth my senior year.
It surprised me that Orlis would form such a strong bond with the band. He supplied them with food after practices and made a huge donation to send them on an important road game.
