I have followed what we call American Football since I was about 10 years old (this would have been in the late 80s, when it was shown on UK terrestrial TV), but never really took any interest in the college game until I met my current girlfriend, who comes from a family of Buckeye fans and whose parents and brother still live in Ohio.

The first game I saw was the shootout against Michigan last year, on TV in our local alehouse. That was it, I was hooked. I've been following the team since then (so yeah, there will be some who dismiss me as a glory hunter, bandwaggoner or whatever, but it's her family's team, what do you want me to do?), and then I stumbled across this place.

Cheers.

I'm a Buckeye fan by marriage too, so don't worry there, you aren't alone. Welcome to the boards!
