I was born and raised in Toledo. Both of my parents are from big families, so instead of watching sports on tv we were always at a relatives sporting event. While in high school I played three sports myslef, so again extra time was a minimum. However, the one game we always watched is the Ohio State/Michigan game.
I would say I became a extreme Buckeye fan in 1989, but in basketball not football. The reason behind this I had a family friend that played for the Bucks, Jim Jackson. It was around 1991when I went to college, University of Dayton, that I didn't miss a Buckeye football game that was on tv. I even made the trip up to see the Bucks play Syracuse in the Carrier Dome. As a way to learn about the past great players to play at
OSU I read a book titled Woody's Boys.
I currently live in Cincinnati, married and have a daughter that just turned one.
