Born in North Carolina. Parents divorced when i was 3, stayed with dad, mom ended up in columbus. My brother and i visited mom in columbus every summer and OSU grew on us without us even noticing. My brother is now a junior at OSU and i'll be a freshman this fall. Not a great story compared to the rest i know, but what can you do. Go Buckeyes |

Ok, Now that I've irritated a few people we're like family, right? Just had some guy in a Honda mini van pass me at "The Old Blinking Light" in town. He was bearing the OSU decal on his side. WooHoo! Way to show up in Texas country 'bro!
Anywho. Was born and raised in Bellaire, Ohio. Home of Joey Galloway. Moms no each other. As a child would watch the rolled steel come out of the Benwood Steel mill still glowing red. Could be seen all the way across the Ohio River! Went to BHS, class of 70. Probably chased Grad's future Mom around! Discretion will stop there! Went to Belmont Tech and the OU branch. Computer classes or what passed for a computer back then. NCR Century 100! Got married and moved first to Akron then Connecticut. Saved up enough money to semi-retire to New Mexico........Taos! Enjoying life in the high desert. Bicycling, skiing at Taos Ski Valley and hiking. This truly is "The Wild West"! |

I'll keep mine short (kind of)...
Born and raised in Logan, Ohio (1974). When I was a little kid I was working a fund raiser at our church. We were selling subs for the OSU/Mich game. I remember Earl Bruce being the coach and us getting our ass's beat by TSUN. In the third quarter I chucked a sub across the church at a Michigan fan (our bible school teacher) and walked out. Yep, old dad grounded me for that one.
Years later from 1992-1994, I was in the Air Force stationed in Yokota Japan. 18 years old and homesick as hell. We would get College football games about 2 weeks behind. I can only tell you that seeing my beloved Buckeyes take the field made me feel like I was back in Ohio with family and friends. I lived for the Buckeye football game replays. That is probably why I still bawl like a school girl everytime the Bucks take the field for the first game.

Intros are in order
Long time Buckeye....first time participant at BP. What a great site to get pumped up for the football season with other fans.
Hope to have a chance to celebrate many future OSU victories down in C-bus with some of you! Especially over the Horns.
Can anyone tell me how to get a larger jpg pic to be accepted in lieu of the helmet..... not that there's anything wrong with the helmet (Seinfeld)!

Cant have a larger avatar.. you can put it in your sig line if you want a big graphic.
Welcome aboard. FWIW, I find your type hard to read, maybe make it bold, if you're gonna keep it scarlet.
