Sounding Off
I was not a student at tOSU, but I have been a fan since the 80's. I was born in 1972 and I lived out-of-state until 1981, when we moved to Circleville. Since then I have lived all over Ohio (Port Clinton, Toledo, Ashland, and spent some more time out-of-state as well) and I currently reside in an eastern suburb of Cleveland.
A little bit about myself and family... I graduated from Ashland University in 1995 and have a wonderful wife and 2 great kids (my son will be 2 in May and my daughter will be 5 in August.) My wife is a converted scUM fan. I routinely took her to Buckeye games while we were in college and she hasn't looked back since. She dresses our kids in Buckeye gear all the time. My son tackles/jumps on his sister like a linebacker, flying headfirst usually, and without regard for his (or his sister's) body. My daughter is "Daddy's little girl" and her first word was "football."

Hi everyone. I stumbled across this site today and had to join. I am a regular reader and occasional poster of the O-Zone and I check out the Bucknuts boards occasionally.
I was born at OSU hospital and raised a Buckeye about 20 miles south of Columbus (Circleville). I attended OSU from '94 to '99 and didn't miss a home game. I even went on a few road trips, including our win at Notre Dame and the diaster in Ann Arbor where Biakabatuka ran for over 300 yarsd against us (that was a long walk back to our car). I graduated from OSU in WI 99 and moved to Orlando to work for Electronic Arts. In my 5 years at EA I have worked as a software engineer on Madden, NCAA, and most recently, NFL Street. There are a few Buckeyes here in the office and we are not shy about telling anyone who will listen the virtues of OSU football. My wife is also an OSU graduate and a bigtime Buckeye fan. We make it back for at least one game per year and went to the Fiesta Bowl 2 years ago to watch the Buckeyes win the National Championship.

Grandpa was a Buckeye. My dad and his brother were both long-time football coaches. Dad coached at old Columbus North High--coached against, among others, Lee Tressel when he coached at Massilon. My uncle coached HS for a few years, then became an assistant at OU, then joined Woody's staff as an assistant--he was on the staff for the '68 National Championship. Later he went into administration and became the Athletic Director. He was the AD who had the unpleasant task of firing Coach Hayes--said it was the hardest thing he ever had to do after burying his father (my Grandpa).
Growing up, Dad always had season tickets. Mom would go with him to one game per year and my brother and I would fight over who got to go to the rest. Many of my best childhood memories involve Friday nights and North High football and Saturday afternoons in the Shoe.
Graduated HS in '68. Got to work out that summer in the old stadium weight room. Met and worked out with a number of the players. Went off to the College of Wooster (I wasn't very fast, but I sure was small). Got my graduate degrees at Ohio State.
Currently teaching at Appalachian State in North Carolina (nice to have a good 1-AA school to root for). Would love to make my way back to Ohio someday. Both of my sons (who are now grown men) are fourth generation Hiney Brothers and lifelong Buckeye fans.

Long Live Mike Doss
I was born in columbus, raised in columbus- and if we ever lose to michigan again at home- will probably die in columbus. I'm currently a student at Ohio University, and will be transfering back to my roots of tosu in fall 2004. I was born in raised a buckeye, with my mom and dad graduating from tosu and have been attending OSU games with my dad since around the age of 7. I'm a buckeye through and through and look forward to contributing whatever i can to this board.

Welcome new folks, hope you enjoy BuckeyePlanet. For your info. this thread is only a reminder to post on the actual "SOUND OFF" thread located here: "Sound Off" Thread Link
I just want to prevent many people from posting their "Sound Off" post on this thread instead of the real thing. Then I'd be merging posts into the correct thread and, yada, yada, yada ... no one cares about my whining anyway, but suffice to say, it would be a pain.

Get off my lawn, you hooligans!
I am what's known as a 'disconnected Ohioan"
Born in Cleveland...
Lived in Cinci for a few years,
Lived in Salem (3rd Cornfield south of Youngstown) for a few years
Went to Ohio State for 3.5 years....
Parents now live in Akron(ish).
Sister's finishing med school in Cinci, and moving back to Cow-town (Cbus) for her residency.
I basically identify myself with the state as a whole.
Unfortunately, I'm now going to school in that state up north, which shall henceforth be referred to as XX. Hence, I live in Lansing, XX. Lansing, XX is a dull town filled with annoying people from the state of XX, most of whom make my blood boil. Sprinkled among them are many nice people (who are underrepresented in this diatribe merely because despite the fact that they are quite numerous, they tend not to enrage me. I've also met a few other Displaced Buckeyes up here.
I see my role in this world, at this moment, as being a sort of Buckeye ambassador (OK junior ambassador) to the land of the Weasels. I don't pick fights or talk smack. I just show my colors and (Hopefully) let people see that there are alternatives to selling your soul to that garbage heap down the road (in AA, XX), and that in Ohio, they teach us manners. We're nice people, in other words, and if you weaselland-dwellers would like to reform yourselves and learn to be nice, we're more than willing to undertake the challenge :)

Heisman
Born in 1977 in the Dayton area. I went to the U of D, but went to more buckeye games during my college career than UD football games. I remember watching Chris Carter, Keith Byars, Jim Karsatos, and Chris Speilman at about 8 years old. I'm been bleeding scarlet ever since.
I recognize most of the people on here from Bucknuts (my screenname was schlepp11). I was beginning to wonder where guys like Mililani and Bucknutty went.
