Buckeye Nation makes you believe
By Eric Neel
Page 2 columnist
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- I'm staying in a hotel on the far north end of Columbus. It's a football Saturday morning, about 10 o'clock, and three strong men in their twenties are walking past me across the lobby toward the parking lot. They're dressed identically in grey suits, white shirts ... and scarlet red bow ties.

I figure them for Buckeye players at first, but then realize they wouldn't be staying at this hotel. Then I notice the shoes -- gray patent leather -- and the cummerbunds, and the red roses in their lapels, and it hits me: These guys aren't going to the game. They're going to a wedding; they're in a wedding. They're in a wedding and they're all decked out in the proud colors of The Ohio State University; and when I ask them about it, they tell me it's the least they can do.

After all, they're missing today's game.

[FONT=verdana, arial, geneva]The Brutus boys go all out to support their Buckeyes.[/FONT]People are awfully serious about their football in Ohio. Check that: They're serious about football in lots of cities and towns across America; in the cities and towns of Ohio (as in Massilon, as in Canton, and most especially as in Columbus), football is a religion. Everywhere (and I mean everywhere) you look, you see folks in colors -- the Buckeyed-to-the-nines guy pumping gas, the mom walking her toddler in a scarlet-and-gray stroller, and the Brutus-sweatshirt-clad old man hanging a Brutus the Buckeye banner from his Brutus-striped front porch.

And everyone you meet is a devoted Buckeye follower.

Cont'd ...
