Not sure if he's a real fan or just a bandwagon jumper (thought he was a USC fan?)... Vince Vaughn
That's USC in the background of the photo.

J. K. Simmons is a huge fan. There was an article in Big Sky Journal a few years back where he talked about how he follows football religiously. Started at OSU and transferred to U. Montana when his family moved. Still follows OSU

AS an OSU alum who lives in Illinois close to where JK's dad was born..my wife and JK have the same Aunt who still lives near us. As she is only a year older my wife says JK my have been at some family functions when they were children. Weird coincidences

OSU Alum Vince Doria, Senior VP and News Director for ESPN, is retiring Friday:

Regardless the various opinions on the quality and content of all of ESPN's tentacles, the guy won 29 Emmy Awards while making SportsCenter (and the network itself) the behemoth it is today. Also a major influence on shows such as OTL and E:60.
Didn't know he was a Youngstown native...

Yup, and I believe Nevadabuck has said before on the Scout boards that Vince is either his neighbor or lives in his neighborhood......and he's definitely a Buckeye fan.


he also did a movie recently (The Watch) where his character was a huge Buckeye/Blue Jackets fan and had all kinds of swag in his house.....

Drakes also a "fan" of UK basketball, Miami heat, Brooklyn nets, Toronto raptors, and I've personally never ever seen him talk about OSU. For football, his bromance with Johnny Manziel is well known, and he's more than likely an aTm fan MUCH more than hell ever be an OSU fan. But using fan with Drake has to be used extremely loosely! I bet he thought his hat was for some Ottawa team, who he's a "fan" of also...
