Hello, my name is Grant and I am from California and live in NYC. My dad is from East Liverpol, OH and I lived there for one year and played pop warner for the Red Devils. It was during this time I became a Buckeye Fan for obvious reasons. Of course the caliber of play and the tradition made me stay a fan even after leaving Ohio. I always enjoyed my time there and the people, except for a couple guys who tried to bully me and my cousins. Anyway, I am just a fan, not an alum, nor a native Ohioan (though my dad's family is, I got folks in Youngstown too).
Anyway I joined so I could have a place for intelligent talk about Buckeye football, I really liked the things said in the welcome email about the tone and tenor of the discussion promoted here, I will try to live up to the standards.
PS
I am also a Raider fan and would love if they picked Gholston, I am also hoping they trade for Bobby Carpenter, who I think would fit better in the Raider 4-3. Then it would be Buckeyes west with Carpenter, Gholston, Jay Richardson, and Drew Carter! Sorry, had to get that out, from now on I will keep all NFL Draft/Buckeyes in the NFL talk in the proper forums.
Thanks
Grant
