I remember getting buckets of beer at the South Berg. A Bucket was about 6 and a half pitchers, and was like $5, and they let us have the second one for less than that. I was on crutches with an ankle I had severely sprained playing ball. After the second bucket I couldn’t use the crutches so I hobbled all the way back to Lane Avenue, doing some further damage damage to my ankle but feeling no pain. Good times.

BIG NUT, BIG SCHOLARSHIPS. His name is Jon Peters, but we know him as Big Nut. Following Ohio State’s national championship, Big Nut will award 16 scholarships worth $500 each at 14 high schools in Northwest Ohio.
“For me, knowing that I’m not a Buckeye graduate, it’s a form of healing for me because it helps me deal with the fact that I’ll never have that feeling, the ultimate feeling, of walking across the stage and receiving that diploma from Ohio State because I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, as some people say. I’m a blue-collar guy. I work in a factory,” Peters told WTGV Action News in Toledo.
Peters, 64, has worked at Whirlpool in Clyde, Ohio, for the past 42 years. Although he never received a degree from Ohio State, he appears to have made a decent living. Throughout his years supporting the Buckeyes, he has awarded $330,000 in scholarships to attend the school. He’s awarding more this year to celebrate the program’s ninth national championship.
“It was just phenomenal,” Peters said, reflecting on Ohio State’s win over Notre Dame. “That’s what you play for, first and foremost, is to win that national title and be No. 1.”

What happened to my ¤cash?
Met Big Nut at the ‘14 B1G championship weekend. He stayed in the same hotel we did. We ended up having breakfast with him the day after the game. He wasn’t in any makeup or anything else that would identify him. He was a very nice guy. Completely unassuming and seemingly genuine.

My Favorite Things: Episode 20, When Winter Came for the Volunteers

You know what kicks ass? Ohio State winning national titles in our lifetimes.

But happiness isn't a natty or bust transaction - even the Lunatic Fringe among us can find joy in the Buckeyes' notable sub-natty achievements. We should savor those, because what's the point of fandom if you refuse to enjoy the finer moments?
Five years ago when we all abruptly found ourselves on lockdown and riddled with existential anxiety, I banged out a series of grateful distractions about our shared and most sacred football memories.
Not just national titles, but the Buckeye moments we have and should always treasure - and specifically - that I personally experienced (love you Chic Harley, but you were either born too soon or I was born too late). This sounds better in Julie Andrews' voice:
That series has largely been dormant since we ventured back out into the world. Recent glorious events are an important reminder that we shouldn't wait for a global pandemic to pause and remember the best of times.
Hitching our mental and cardiovascular health to gigantic teenagers wearing our favorite colors and having them steal our hearts instead of breaking them - that's worth replaying, remembering and memorializing. Time to update the pandemic repository.
And what better place to start than...that's right, Nov 30, 2024. Rock bottom. Turns out that's the best place on earth to begin an ascent to immortality, beginning with scaling Rocky Top.
Welcome back to My Favorite Things. Today we're memorializing a moment that never got the long, lingering finish it deserved: Tennessee's loud, cold and unsuccessful invasion of Columbus, Ohio.

Episode 20, When Winter Came for the Volunteers
We shouldn't spend too much time on the beginning, but this episode cannot be properly appreciated without grounding context for what Buckeye fans living, dead and still unborn were enduring when the Tennessee Volunteers came to town back in December of 2024.A fourth-straight Ohio State loss to a Michigan team cloaked and soaked in mediocrity. Michigan Sucks is always accurate, but the future ReliaQuest Bowl champions came to town without having won a single road game and left with their first and only. Michigan sucked. Michigan sucks. Forever.
Thanksgiving was ruined, Christmas was wrecked, relationships were fragmented and a fractured fanbase was at war with itself. How do you come back from a loss like that with a roster like this? How could you call yourself an Ohio State fan and be okay with the last four Novembers?
Tennessee fans were feeling it. This wouldn't just be a football game. It would be a land grab.
Three awful weeks debating miserable questions, with CFP opponent Tennessee destined to show up like Cotton Bowl Missouri, but with dumber colors and a fight song played on repeat at CIA black ops sites to break suspected terrorists so they tell on themselves.
The Buckeye Nation-State was alarmingly unstable which had our fragile psyche in a dangerous, unhealthy place. Regicide or Dedicated Unseriousness? Those were our choices; either start over or be cool with losing to every type of Michigan team.
My Favorite Things: Episode 20, When Winter Came for the Volunteers
Tennessee fans declared Ohio's capital city to be "Volumbus" and re-dedicated the state's beloved outdoor cathedral as "Neyland North." Then the football game kicked off, and everything orange turned scarlet.
