Being originally from Cleveland, I was born a Buckeye in the heart of it all. With plenty of family who attended OSU, you’d think I was destined to be a die-hard fan from day one but it wasn’t until I saw the iconic Sports Illustrated cover from the 2002 National Championship that my Buckeye pride truly kicked into gear. From that moment on, through undergrad and beyond, I’ve been all in. Still stay connected to the university and support local alumni organizations, keeping that Scarlet and Gray spirit alive wherever I go.

So what about you? What’s your connection to Ohio State? Whether you're a lifelong fan, an alum, or just someone who loves the Buckeyes, all are welcome here. No non-alumni shaming either. This bandwagon has room for everyone. O-H!
