A fun, casual place for us Buckeye fanatics to talk about OSU athletics as well as anything happening within the school or the surrounding community. As always, there should be plenty of hating on scUM, and rightfully so.
Go Bucks!
I created this group for the OT members of the Groupee forums to eliminate useless threads and Noobs. We now have a peaceful place to speak our minds and bring back the good days in Off-Topic and carry on the legacy of the Groupee forums.

"I want to win a championship ring. The day I get that ring, I am going to hang it on a shoelace and tie it around my neck. Then I m going to get a pair of the sunglasses that Dwayne Wayne wore in the show "A Different World" and visit every state in the country on a moped wearing nothing but the ring, those sunglasses and a pair of Chuck Taylor's with the inscription "What Would Jesus Do?" written on the sides. I m serious!"
Some crazy fan painted witness on his 1987 cutlass on 23 inch chrome rims. We have seen this car and agree that it is the coolest car we've ever seen. We will take pictures and post videos of this car whenever we see it. We also saw it on the news! WE ARE ALL WITNESSES
