Thanks Mili, yeah twas me with my Uncle at the 1947 Indiana game. Would you like to post a picture of my cousin and I with Bill Hackett? Bill was the Buckeye captain in 1945.
Man, I liked the Bucknuts Sound Off but I really love this one.
At some point I will add a bit about my life.
Guys, you don't need to be brief. This is great stuff.

guess that was a bad sentence... if you all want to come over, that's fine with me... it's up to you to figure out where I live, and then get past my wife... 
On a serious note, this IMO is a good thread... I feel I've gotten to know a few folks a little better...

I was born, raised, and still live in the Cincy area. I did not go to tOSU, but I've been a "bucknut" since the late 80's. I attened a high school football camp in the summer of 89 and I was hooked!
We got to work out in the weight room, learn how to break down film at the WHAC, and got to practice in the SHOE. We acctually sat in the old locker room and ran out of the tunnel on to the field, that still gives me the chills.
The best moment of the camp was on the first day we were early and lost so we walked around St. Johns and walked into Archie's office. He was behind his desk working and took us over to where the camp was meeting. I was like a little bitch seeing Elvis or something, I'll never forget it.
I have three children (2 step-daughters and a son) and I took my boy to his first game this year and it was one of the greatest days of our lives. I've been married for 6+ years and she still doesn't get it all the way, but she's coming around.
I don't post much, but I realyy enjoy reading other people's thoughts. I think this post contains more words than 20 of my post on Bucknuts.
Best games:
03 Northwestern , son's first game.
00 michigan, first michigan game.
01 Outback Bowl, first bowl game.

Nice thread here and read all of the posts in it and I have t o agree it is better than the one "Sound off in Bucknuts" Hope it will continue thru the Holidays to get us reved up for the bowl
games.
Came to live in Struthers Ohio in 1949 of summer from Pennsylvania due to my fathers job being re-loacted. But my real introduction to Buckeye Football was 1957 and watching the Rose Bowl that year as OHio State beat Oregon 10-7 for thier 3rd national championship. From then on I was hooked and have been ever since.
Was too small to play football so the coaches at Struthers wanted me to be a manager and so I did. My passion for football was steeped in Red and Black for the Wildcats as well as Scarlet and Gray of OSU.
Sat in on many of saturday morning films session with Mike Gottfried (now an ESPN analyst in college football) in the 70's
when he coached at Struthers. He and I became friends and have been ever since.
Also I am very good friends with Bob Stoops who is the uncle to
Bob and Mike Stoops of Oklahoma. We still play many rounds of golf when I go back to visit friends and family in Struthers Ohio.
Jim Tressel to this day considers Bob Stoops one of the most knowledgable men in football. His brother Ron Stoops was defensive co-ordinator at Mooney High in Youngstown before his un-timely death in 1988. I knew him well also and what a great man he was too.
I am now retired from CSX (old B&O railroad) and living here in Jacksonville, Florida. I keep busy playing golf most every day and
my part time job is working at the golf course as a starter and even sometimes going out on the range- in the picker - to retrieve the range balls. It s great to be out in mother natures backyard and have some needed time and thoughts to yourself.
I am living the life of riley & still have hopes of seeing our beloved Buckeyes bring home a couple more N/C's in my remaining years.
