Giovanni Strassini: A Football Fantasy

Work in progress

 

Also:
When life seems unfair, and everything is going wrong, never forget you are alive to experience it. As long as you have a breath left in your lungs, and a beat left in your heart, you can work harder and be better. It comes down to your desire to succeed. Every winner has lost, every champion was only a contender at one time in their lives. They went on from that loss and worked harder and eventually they won. You can do the same, for winning is possible for all of us. It all rests on you and your desire. Do your best and never give up or take that loss as the end. That loss is only the end of the round, the fight is not over until you quit. Do I have to say what quitters never do?....

Its easy to grin,
When your ship comes in,
and you've got the stock market beat.

How long did it take before the inevitable, "you see, this just proves how easily it was for JoePed to have been fooled by Sandusky" post?

There is this.

tOSU's message board outs this tremendously elaborate fraud while all we can muster is outing blackshoes16. We need to pick up our game, fellas.

He wasn't calling your name dumbass, he was ordering another round in the press box.

Sounds like he's trying to admit that he watched all those games on television like the rest of us.

The Charlotte Buckeye Alumni Club

Clarity and Jo contacted me a day or so regarding this guy. As I have been a member if the Charlotte club for a long time and I have known what an exceptional club it is, I contacted the present president. His response is below.
While I may look like a newby here I've been with Clarity from the day he started BP. Plus This fall I will start my 56th year of loving The Ohio State University and it's football team.
Dear David,







Many of you likely heard on Monday about a hoax created by a man claiming to be an ex OSU tight end. Sadly, the Charlotte Buckeye Alumni Club was impacted by this elaborate and sophisticated hoax. Our club was mentioned as having a relationship (incorrectly so) with this individual.

The purpose of this Email Blast is to update/inform the Charlotte Buckeyes Club Members of this hoax and the steps that were taken in the past to disassociate the Charlotte Buckeyes from this individual.

Recently, several Wikipedia editors have come across an elaborate internet hoax involving a purported OSU alum and former football player named "Giovanni Strassini." Several people associated with various computer IP addresses in the Charlotte area have seemingly inserted false information about this individual into numerous Wikipedia articles about Buckeyes football and baseball, including All-American honors, participation in bowl games, etc. An internet search will reveal that this hoax extends far beyond Wikipedia, and includes IMdB.com (internet move database) and various other sports websites.

While we are learning many unfortunate details about this man at this time, the Board did the necessary Due Diligence on this individual upon making his acquaintance in the fall of 2011. He could be found on Google, Wikipedia, IMDb, and other social media sites. He also had a pair of gold pants, a rose bowl ring, and several stories and photos to back up his claim as being a former OSU football player.

Rest assured, this man did not receive any funds from our club, nor did the club enter into any agreements or contracts with this man. He unexpectedly attended a game watch on Halloween 2011 and asked to get involved with the Charlotte Buckeyes. As a result, the Board allowed him to be a special OSU guest at a basketball game watch in March of 2012.

The Charlotte Buckeyes Board completely disassociated ourselves with this man nearly a year ago, based on reports of inappropriate communications by this individual toward a few of our club members. At that time, we removed him from the Club's email list, ceased correspondence, and deleted the majority of Club's social media ties with this individual. We did not expect to hear from him or about him again.

We are shocked and disappointed to learn of the lengths to which this man has gone to become a member of the Ohio State family. It is unfortunate that our club is being purported with being associated with him at this time. Nothing could be further from the truth. All associations with this man have been deleted from our facebook page and website over a year ago.

We hope this email answers any questions you have on this matter and the misrepresentations being stated regarding the Charlotte Buckeyes association with this individual.

Sincerely,

The Charlotte Buckeye Board
