Re: Gators whip Buckeyes!
From the OSU edu site, with regard to the origin of the term "buckeye" to refer to Ohioans:
The first recorded use of the term (buckeye) to refer to a resident of the area is in 1788, some 15 years before Ohio became a state. Col. Ebenezer Sproat, a 6'4" man of large girth and swashbuckling mannerisms, led the legal delegation at the first court session of the Northwest Territory, held in Marietta. The Indians in attendance greeted him with shouts of "Hetuck, Hetuck" (the Indian word for buckeye), it is said because they were impressed by his statue and manner. He proudly carried the Buckeye nickname for the rest of his life, and it gradually spread to his companions and to other local white settlers. By the 1830s, writers were commonly referring to locals as "Buckeyes." |

Re: Gators whip Buckeyes!
By all means it is a mascot, and one of the most intimidating! You know, I would be willing to buy you a box...no, not a box. A pallet of any cigar you wanted, that is, if you ate a buckeye. Think about it, the offer stands.
