Ohio State fans know no boundaries, but this one is a first for us at Eleven Warriors.
Veronica Chapa, a Buckeye fan from Texas, posted a photo on Twitter last week depicting our T-shirt that stemmed from Ohio State's 42-35 victory against No. 1 Alabama New Years Day in the Sugar Bowl.

Chapa told Eleven Warriors when Ohio State won the 2002 national championship, her and her now ex-husband decided to name their son — who was born five months later — Tressel, after former Buckeye coach Jim Tressel.
"Last year my son told me if Ohio State wins the National Championship I had to get a tattoo," Chapa said. "I wanted something different."
With the winning play against Alabama being one of, if not the most recognizable plays from the 2014 season, Chapa said it was a no-brainer to get the tattoo — which she did a week before her 40th birthday Aug. 23.
"I didn't want to get the standard Block O," Chapa told Eleven Warriors. "I wanted something that no one would even consider."
In all, Chapa said the T-shirt and tattoo cost her $250, but it's been well received — for the most part — among other fans.
"Most people think I am crazy," Chapa said. "That may be the case, but it's the most original, meaningful and awesome tattoo I have."
It's hard for us to disagree.
