I remember when I became a true fan of Ohio State I was maybe 10 or 11 so it's been 42 year's.
My Dad was in our family room and we were watching a preview on the wide world of sports a they were talking about the B-10 and it dawned on me that Ohio State my home town team was being mentioned.Back in those days the mid to late 60s you only got maybe 1 game a year on the tube so I spent every Sat in those days listening to the games on the radio.The visualization I had as a kid was pretty good it was like I was in the stands.Growing up in Columbus and later Dublin ,Ohio the Buckeyes were kings and woody Hayes was the focus of all that was Ohio State.
Ohio State won the NC in 1968 and it was a mythical time for a kid that team of super sophomores
sealed my long lasting love for OSU. But it was also a State pride thing.I was proud to be from Ohio it was a great place to grow up in rural country with the city just a few miles down the road.
We moved to Springfield Ohio when I was in 8th grade then onto Centerville south of Dayton for my freshman year but I always loved Columbus and even though I live in Indiana now (had to move here for a job I took) but before I die I will move back to Columbus thats my home.
