100 Things Buckeyes Fans

Should Know & Do Before They Die

By Andrew Buchanan/Foreword by Archie Griffin


 

“O-H!” goes the familiar call, prompting the just-as-familiar response, “I-O!” Opening with a foreword from two-time Heisman Trophy Winner Archie Griffin and closing with a story about Brutus the Buckeye, 100 Things Buckeyes Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die (Triumph Books, September 2014) captures the spirit of OSU football through seven National Championships and six Heisman Trophy winners.

 

The players, the coaches, the traditions and the stories, it’s all in 100 Things Buckeyes Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die. From the 27-2 run of Woody Hayes’ Class of ’70 that included Rex Kern, John Brockington, Jack Tatum, Jim Stillwagon, and Mike Sensibaugh to the Buckeyes’ dramatic 2003 Fiesta Bowl win over Miami that gave coach Jim Tressel his first National Championship, 100 Things Buckeyes will have fans everywhere wearing their scarlet and grey while they relive stories about “That Team Up North,” remember Woody-isms and learn about the tradition of dotting the i. With the unique format ranking, 100 Things Buckeyes should have fans debating Buckeye history at tailgates and football parties all fall. Stories include:

 

  • How Woody Hayes wasn’t the first choice to coach the Buckeyes
  • What bold statement Jim Tressel made the fist time he addressed Ohio State fans
  • Who’s Heisman Trophy was stolen
  • How Michigan might have actually invented Script Ohio

Now updated through the 2013 season, 100 Things Buckeye Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die covers every era of OSU football and every tradition that makes Ohio State unique. This is the must have for any true Buckeye fan.
