How do I get a marijuana leaf sticker for MY helmet???

I was told by a buckeye that a buckeye is a "hairy nut." You have the opportunity to ask the same friend that question. Tell me if you get a different answer. A buckeye is really a butterfly! I'm intimidated.


The legendary Woody Hayes came up with an ingenious way to recognize his players for outstanding plays. Equipment managers would put a decal of a marijuana leaf on the helmet for every outstanding play. Accompanying this decal would be a quarter bag of pot. What a great recruiting tool! With this positive feedback system, Coach Hayes dealed Ohio State to three national championships. Talk about putting the "high" in Ohio!

The last strangeness from between Cleveland and Cincinnati is something called "dotting the i." From what I've heard, no lie, this is some kind of activity for behind closed doors. When used in public day to day, it's simply an expression of emphasis. Less often in less public, it really marks an occasion--with excitement, tremendous energy release, and some kind of kick. If Ohio State can score on the Longhorn defense, you're bound to see the latter.
(The Buckeye leaves and "dotting the i" are actually pretty cool traditions)
