Well I guess it's about time that I announce my presence here. I've been lurking on this site for the better part of a year now.

I was born in Pickerington, Ohio and raised in Columbus. I've been an avid Buckeye fan since an early age thanks to my mother. ( I had to start taking heavy objects away from her during games at the age of 7)

I'm about to move to Austin,Tx in April. Hopefully be able to get tickets to the game considering my girlfreind is a Texas grad.It's nice to know, thanks to this site, that I'll always be able to check on my beloved Bucks no matter where I am in the country.

This has to be the best gathering of true Buckeyes fans and football lovers that I have seen anywhere. Thanks for making Buckeyes football even more enjoyable guys

:oh: GO BUCKS!!! :io:

My name is Jeff and i'm from New Albany, OH (outside Columbus). Right now i am a freshman at Miami(OH) University majoring in computer engineering. I am hardcore OSU football and basketball fan. Also a huge LA Lakers fan and have been since 1995. My dad is a big OSU fan too, but i took it to the next level. I basically live, eat, and breath OSU. Havn't missed a home OSU football game in 9 years because me and my dad have season tickets.
For every OSU game i fly my OSU 4x6 flag at school and my dorm door is full of OSU stuff. People give me alot of crap for not caring about Miami(OH) athletics but i tell them "you can't break a true Buckeye"

I check this site often, mainly because many of you seem to have info before I can get it from any media source. However, I haven't posted before.

I grew up in Lancaster, now living in Wheeling. Earliest OSU memory I can think of is being angry about the Buckeyes getting drilled by Minnesota when I was 7 in 1989. I remember driving around with the folks and every time we checked in on the game, it kept getting closer and closer. I remember saying "they're coming back!" only to have a Michigan-fan uncle tell me it wasn't possible (shows how much they know). OSU trailed 31-0 to come back and win 41-37...still to this day the largest comeback in Ohio State history. Another early memory was giving up on the Buckeyes when down about 10 in the 4th quarter against Iowa. This is the game Bobby Olive caught the winning touchdown with :01 remaining. I learned my lesson that day at 8 or 9 years old to never give up on your team! I wonder how many young Ohio kids learned that same lesson this past fall in the '05 Michigan game? I don't attend many games (one a year, if lucky), but my favorite in-person experience was the '04 Michigan game which included Ginn's 82-yard punt return and Troy Smith's breakout game.

Anyway, living in Wheeling I don't know that many OSU fans...certainly not many that are knowledgeable. So I'll probably be hanging out here a little more to keep current on the upcoming season. Go Bucks!

Wonderful idea for a thread. Born in Columbus, Dad was on campus, and the first song I learned was Carmen Ohio. Have a precocious 11 year old daughter, and one of the names considered (until nixed by my bride of 17 years was 'Carmen'). Matriculated at Miami, out to California, then back to tOSU to collect an MBA. Back to California, where been (except for a 5 year stop in Texas) since 1971. Avid Buckeye, my father says I am a 'fanatic', and this coming from an ex-alumni president who has dotted the i. Interested in all things OSU, and this site gives me all sports, and sooner. We on the left coast don't get as much Buckeye stuff (unless it's bad news on ESPiN). Have paid first class postage to Buckeye Sports Bulletin forever, and do GamePlan because I'll see the Bucks 7-9 games.

Live in the Central Valley (San Joaquin Valley), a bit between Fresno and Bakersfield. Grew up as a member of the Scarlet & Gray courses, and still play golf out here. My family, wife and daughter, snow ski at Tahoe, camp at Pismo Beach, and generally try to enjoy each other and life. We get back to Ohio at Thanksgiving to visit parents and brothers who still live in Columbus. Am in education, as a senior administrator for a school district.

Was part of the Alumni club in San Francisco when lived there (and while in Texas), but there's zip in the middle of the State. So now follow daughter, who swims year round, travel team for basketball, plus many church activities. Daughter (when about 5), came in while a game was on, yelled, 'Go Michigan', and got sent to her room for a time-out.

Took wife to a game in the Shoe (Wyoming I think), enjoyed it, but brought her to a OSU-Meatchicken game, and she just looked around, and said, "Now I understand", so don't get much flack when the Bucks play, she just tolerates me. (They also like it when OSU wins, because I tend to get 'grumpy' when they lose).

Dad had season tickets for 50 years, and I've seen quite a few of the great ones. Have been to 6 Rose Bowls and all the Buckeye bashs, and truly enjoyed the Super Sophs (1968-72), and marvel at how many pros came from that team. Probably have to say enjoyed Rex Kern ( magician with the ball), Tatum, (hardest hitter), Champ Henson (a true warrior), Katzenmoyer (if only he'd stayed healthy - great football IQ), and .....Birtho Arnold. As a kid was 'trained' by the phys ed majors at OSU natorium, and had Havlicek and Larry Siegfried, Birtho, Jim Houston, and many of the 'old' legends.

Post infrequently, mostly to get the answer to some Buckeye question, and have really gotten great support from y'all. I enjoy watching the banter, and the 'war' with the Texas crew. Plenty of respect on each side, and informative also. Hope we see the same leading up to this future Buckeye win. Not a real 'techie' (fortunately have much smarter people at work who do this for me), so don't know how to manipulate avatars, or even post where I am from.

Truly enjoy recruiting, and spend couple of hundred dollars each year on the mags that come out (best way to get OSU slant in California) (who cares about the Pac 10). Boss and minister both USC grads, don't get much amusement when I call it 'University of Second Choice'.

All I can say is :gobucks3: :osu4: :banger:

My name's Dustin and I've been reading the forum for about a year, but I finally joined today. I run track at Indiana State in Terre Haute.
Seems like a lot of the posters here are military kids, add me to the list. Moved around a lot Germany-New Mexico-Hawaii-COLUMBUS-Phoenix-DAYTON-Phoenix-Terre Haute. My dad went to tOSU when I was 5 and I've been hooked ever since. My first game was either Minnesota or Missouri if I remember right. No one understands why I'm a Buckeye if I'm from AZ and I tell them to spend 3 years in Columbus while your dad goes to school at OSU while your only 5 and you'll be hooked. I'm proud to say most people I know hate the Buckeyes because I talk about em so much. Me and my dad have been fortunate the last 4 bowl games were near us so we got to make up for not seeing many home games. It was always my dream to attend Ohio State, but out of state tuition is out of control, maybe graduate school. Glad to be here to talk tOSU.

:oh: :io:

As the name implies, I am not a Buckeye and instead a Nittany Lion. I was born in and lived in Scranton, PA but have been living in Connecticut for over a decade. I live, eat and breathe Penn State sports (Football, basketball, baseball mostly). I'm just here to read about what's going on in Buckeye nation and contribute here and there. I'm not looking for any flame wars, just some good football, basketball, baseball, whatever discussion.

Hello everyone

Just wanted to say Hi. I just joined this site and I love it. I also love THE Ohio State, much like the rest of you. I'm a college kid and I go to georgia southern university. Always wanted to go to tOSU, but it's expensive as hell for out of state tuition. Anyway, just wanted to say hey and that I look forward to talking with all of you. GO BUCKS! :oh: :io:
