Giovanni Strassini: A Football Fantasy

Work in progress

 

Didn't see this posted but I may have missed it. It looks like our guy had a nice little editing session a few days ago too, this time adding Giova Stroh (his Facebook name) to All-American teams and Browns draft histories. Here is the link to that IP address' edits http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/70.193.0.55

 

This thread is quickly becoming my all-time favorite.

Full of win.

Because I agree with the above, the following deserves a GPA IMO.

I came across something peculiar recently. There's this Buckeyes fan club in Charlotte, that celebrates one former Buckeye All-American Tight End by the name of Giovanni Strassini. He "won the Rose Bowl in 1974 with Archie, Cornelius Green, Pete Johnson and the rest," says the page. He also "caught an 8 yard touchdown pass in the 1976 Rose Bowl", and "was drafted by the Cleveland Browns as the 162nd player picked in the 1977 NFL Draft," according to his Facebook page. Not only that, "Mr. Strassini is also a member of the OSU Football All-Century Team!" say the Charlotte Buckeyes.

Ever heard of this guy? Because I did not.

Thanks for bringing this to the attention of the BP boards Justin. I bypassed this thread for days. With the 12-0 video, TSUN news, Hoke getting fatter, I just figured it would be out of the rotation rather quickly.

It's great to see you so involved in a thread Clarity. Nice digging Buckguy!


Edit: That is one that I have the ability to follow along with.

 

Nope, I was editing something else and the library's IP address was blocked and I just traced the user back to the OSU impostor. The guy seems like quite the tool

Would you by any chance be associated with the Charlotte Buckeyes group?

Just wonderin...no biggie if not...

 

Hey guys, I have a funny feeling this Giovanni character might be a fraud.

Why are you spreading misinformation?

Nope. He's legit. He has an imdb page.

 

Giova stroh/ giovanni strassini/ john strassini/john strothers... the man, the myth, the legend. A hero to us all, you should be ashamed

 

That actually sounds like a good idea.

Already did it.

 

Already did it.

Excellent. Somehow that seems like just the kind of thing they would jump on. Defraud this chump.

Why is he related to Jerry Joe Strassini, locker room attendant at psu during the 70's?

 

Nope. He's legit. He has an imdb page.

I found him on craigslist

 

IP address may be a public library. I was at a public library in Charlotte Thursday and couldn't edit Wikipedia because the IP address had been blocked. I did an investigation and traced it to this guy and then found this wonderful thread on this board. Y'all are doing a great job in outing this fool.

It's the random adds like this one that make this thread a true classic. Sleuthin'!

 

Mentioned with "notable area alumni" on the OSU Alumni Association page for Charlotte:

Anyone here know someone who graduated from Cleveland Heights in 1973 like this guy?
