Ohio Buckeye get together???

[ArizonaXJ]

Okay, it would appear that there are a lot of "Buckeyes" here in this group.
What do you say we try to get all the Buckeyes together?
We could do a run or BBQ or meet and greet or something.
Heck, maybe we could combine them all into one!!!!!

[jpotts]

Isn't a buckeye some sort of nut?

[katvans]

Isn't a buckeye some sort of nut?

Exactly :eek:

[rsliman]

[neZZr]

I'd be up for whatever, but not until next year. It'd be a real long drive for me before then.

[Yogi]

I'm in if I'm not working

So this is some congregation of lepidopterists?;)

[ArizonaXJ]

Oh you guys kill me.......Come on now....
Yes, a Buckeye is a nut. However, all of us GREAT people from the beautiful state of OHIO are also lovingly referred to as Buckeyes.......I know that you all have heard of our football team at least once or twice in the past few years :D
You know that old saying "tough nut"? well, where do you think that came from? It was coined by those that had the honor of dealing with, working with, etc...someone from Ohio, a BUCKEYE..........

[ArizonaXJ]

im in...

so post your vote as to what you would want to do.....

[Digger]

Being from Cleveland, maybe a Bengels/Browns game on TV would be the time for get together..... wait, what do you think about inviting the Penns to the meet and greet while there is a Browns/Steelers game on....now there's some good old down home entertainment. :D:eek::D yee-ha bring em on!!!!
maybe a little game of poker before the game too...or am I an old timer and activities named don't interest Buckeyes anymore.

[danno]

Wheres the Poll option for Rubbing Crushed Buckeyes on my A S S?

Did you guys know that the Buckeye is actually a treatment for hemorrhoids? Seriously, look it up!

Go Sun Devils... We will never forget!

[Digger]

Now where did you find the time to actually read something like that? Oh, this must mean you have..... lookin for a cure are ya??

[rsliman]

so post your vote as to what you would want to do.....

Combination or mix of above ideas

And yes a buckeye is a nut

[Tom Schenk]

You all need to not be so hard-on the nuts. I can say that here right? :)

[Tom Schenk]

Oh, and I'm in for a any combination of a meet/greet, BBQ, or run.

[NVRSTUKXJ]

I could go for that.....but although from OH, I'm a life-long, die hard, bleed gold and black STEELERS fan......and besides, the browns suck ;)

Traitor! How can any sane Ohioan honestly like something from Armpittsburgh?

[Lifes A Jeep]

I really like the idea of getting together on a Sunday to watch some football, eat some wings, and throw back a few cold ones. Good times

Yes my Browns suck but I really believe there is hope for our franchise.

[Digger]

ok guys and gals, new poll vote needed. Game and wings at a jeepers place or a sports bar and grill, and if it's the bar which one would be suitable. I think a mid point would be best.
My place is open for the meet and greet if needed. And there is a few good sports bars in my mid point neighborhood. Chuy's or Famous Sams have several screens, cheap eats and a lot of room

[ArizonaXJ]

Okay, I see where this is going......I'm checking into changing the poll to accommodate the new ideas.

Hmmm, I wonder if there is such a thing as JEEP FOOTBALL?????

I am from Steubenville, and probably the biggest Steelers fan there is. I think we should all get together for a game (browns / Steelers). Rob (etropic), is from Cleveland and is a hater of the Steelers ... look at his signature.

Go Ohio State .... Go STEELERS !!!!!!!!

[Washington_XJ]

Boo steelers

[Digger]

now that's an idea, JEEP FOOTBALL... I like it!!
This little get together might have a heck of a turn out. Keep seeing others pop in to voice there football opinions, think we caught their interest. Yhe club ever have a meet and greet over a ball game before?
Hey, anyone have the Football schedule for this year? When do the Browns and Steelers play? It's been awhile since I was into football, do the Browns still have the "Dog Pound" in the end zones? The fans used to really rattle the opposing team by throwing milkbones at em. I remember when Art Model sold the Browns team. Cleveland got to keep the name and form a new team. My sister told me they had hung a dummy they made up to look like Art, in the middle of the city.

[ohiotj]

Hey if there is any type on get together for Ohio I am all in. As for B1tchburg people they better not show up!!! With any amount of booze in me and I will lash out on those people. Let me know when and i will try to get off work. Dogs play out here Dec 2nd i think. Already got plans for that day. That means the other team has to play them too just not sure where.

[Washington_XJ]

I give OSU folks crap because I used to live with a roommate who was from Columbus OH and he would never shut up about the buckeyes- in all honesty I like them...

No Chit????.....I was born in Steubenville too.......nice to see me and Dean Martin aren't the only famous people from there ;)

[neZZr]

Oh yeah... the new stadium most definitely still has a dog pound... but it's only ever been on one end of the field.

I actually haven't been to a game at the new stadium yet! That picture is as close as I've been. :eek:

I have heard they're pretty tough on throwing things and such now.

[cross_007]

Why the hell would you want to throw stuff??? :eek: at other fans? :confused: or the players? :confused: either way - that is whack!

At the old stadium, the dog pound was directly next to the entrance where the players came on/off the field. They'd throw dog biscuits and batteries at the opposing team all the time. There was one big incident with the batteries that I remember... a couple people had to go to the hospital.

[Digger]

batteries, I never heard about that. When I lived there it all in fun, no one was hurt..sorry to hear there are some rotten folks. I remember some old nick names for the team:
Cleveland Clowns
Cardiac Kids
What was that quarterbacks name that when he was forced to run with ball he looked like a darn chicken, his legs just didn't

I'm only old enough to remember Kosar... but he certainly wasn't a runner!

[Digger]

Kosar, that's him. ran like like a chicken, legs spread apart and goin different directions darn near. hahahhahaha

my brother got some bricks from the old stadium. he was working on the plumbing for new stadium.

How did the team name Browns come about?

[Digger]

ok, I think we should not wait for the Browns/Steelers game (will meet for this game too, a must). Lets get together soon so we can growl a little. So WHAT SAY WE DO A QUICK TRAIL RUN JUST TO WAVE AT EACH OTHER. Then do a saloon/game plan. how's about this weekend, suppose to be cooler, may be a little rain. what side of town are most of us buckeyes/buckeye friendly jeepers in? Box canyon, Martinez canyon??? or west side??

LET'S DO IT!!!!!!!! what ya think :cool:

[neZZr]

How did the team name Browns come about?

I always thought it was after coach Paul Brown... but according to Wikipedia, it was named for Joe Louis. :confused:

[ohiotj]

I have heard the same thing for the Browns name. Paul Brown didn't want a team named after him so they said it was after that boxer. But it was really for Paul.

Go Dawgs.

[neZZr]

Anyone not from Ohio would have said it was for Jim Brown :D

[ecamp55]

Funny this should come up now. While I wasn't born in OH, I did live there twice, once in Cincy and then later in College Corner. I've been back in Cincy now for 2 weeks for a short 2 month job. Speaking of BBQ, I'm goint to Montgomery Inn at the Boathouse this weekend for my rib fix. I've already hit Skyline Chili a couple of times too.

[ecamp55]

double post

[Digger]

When Fayette was mentioned, I couldn't believe it, but he was the town of Fayette, I grew up on a street named Fayette Blvd. in Brookpark just south of Cleveland.
If anyone is going back for visit, BRING TOMATOES BACK TO AZ!! :D

[jpotts]

That's odd. Joe Louis (The Brown Bomber) lived in Detroit. Hence the Joe Louis Arena.

Brookpark is the closest for me on the forum I've met so far... I grew up in Berea.

[Tom Schenk]

Anyone not from Ohio would have said it was for Jim Brown :D

Last time I was in Ohio I ran into Jim Brown at the Colombus airport. He called me "baby", no, really. I told him he kicked arse in Mars Attacks (which he did).

[Digger]

I haven't heard the word Berea in 22 years, brings back a lot of memories. Berea is one of the first suburbs off Cleveland. All of the phone prefixes started BER- oh, the old rotary dial phones, geez I must be older than I feel.
I remember summer vacations from school, as a little kid I would spend a good deal of summer at the "frog pond" these ponds are all gone, now area is ramp to hiway. ... the good old days.... slow and kicked back ...
used to play hide and seek and kick the can for entertainment as a kid, betcha kids now a days know nothing about games like that...... ah the good old days.

[Antman]

Anyone not from Ohio would have said it was for Jim Brown :D

Yea, but Jim wouldn't have wanted a bunch of has beens to have his name.

This is truely one of the funniest threads I have read in a long

time!:D I learn something everyday, I always thought a Buckeye

was a fruit, not a nut.:rolleyes:

[Lifes A Jeep]

I just got back from Cleveland the other day. It was a really good trip! I made it downtown twice. Didn't have my camera down there though. Anyways, here are a few pics of the area...
