Giovanni Strassini: A Football Fantasy

JustinAgs;2337704; said:
I came across something peculiar recently. There's this Buckeyes fan club in Charlotte, that celebrates one former Buckeye All-American Tight End by the name of Giovanni Strassini. He "won the Rose Bowl in 1974 with Archie, Cornelius Green, Pete Johnson and the rest," says the page. He also "caught an 8 yard touchdown pass in the 1976 Rose Bowl", and "was drafted by the Cleveland Browns as the 162nd player picked in the 1977 NFL Draft," according to his Facebook page. Not only that, "Mr. Strassini is also a member of the OSU Football All-Century Team!" say the Charlotte Buckeyes.

Ever heard of this guy? Because I did not.

GPA. GPA. GPA. Dude comes on with his German IP address and posts what is the Genesis of this thread. After getting some shit early from the Romans:p, turns into the Greatest Thread Ever Told.

With all the extra traffic coming from the link-backs, I'd just like to say...






Cock. Balls.

Good question...she was a mortgage/foreclosure scammer who lived 2 houses down from the address you posted. :lol:


And I will use that line tonight.

I believe you have rep'd the fastest of anyone on this site, good sir.


Pray tell, has anyone received any feedback from the Charlotte association yet??

I've reached out through a close friend of BP's. No word as of yet. We've also had some contact with a couple different parts of OSU today. Beyond those we have some additional efforts underway elsewhere that I'm not ready to divulge (they may be a little slice of nothing anyway). If there's story to be told beyond what's already in this thread, we'll certainly be presenting that, and of course the thread itself has its own life.

I was wondering if Mike80 has received any feedback from his post on their Facebook account.

On a twisted personal level, I just hope that no women from the association are feeling a little less accomplished today.

Man who claimed for years to be Ohio State All-American tight end appears to be a fraud

(CharlotteBuckeyes.com)Giovanni Strassini had a pretty good deal going. He'd show up as a guest at functions for a Charlotte-based Ohio State fan group, he'd pose for pictures and sign autographs, and he'd talk about his exploits as an All-American tight end for the Buckeyes in the mid-1970s on Facebook.

The only problem? Well, Ohio State has never heard of Giovanni Strassini.

Of course, that's where the story gets weird.

Strassini (or whoever he is) saw his story start to unravel on a message board thread at BuckeyePlanet.com. The posters on that site easily figured out there was no Strassini who wore No. 89 for the Buckeyes. He wasn't the third basemen for the baseball team in that era either, as he had also claimed. He definitely didn't score an 8-yard touchdown in the 1976 Rose Bowl, one of the more easily verifiable facts to look up. The Buckeyes' only touchdown that day was a 3-yard touchdown run by Pete Johnson.
