Not a good omen for the upcoming year for Ohio State athletics. According to the American Forests, the
largest Ohio Buckeye tree resides in Oak Brook, Illinois, not Ohio. If that wasn't bad enough, it is controlled by a clown.
And Ohio lost the title to its state tree -- the Ohio buckeye -- to Illinois, whose new national champ stands at McDonald's corporate headquarters, Hamburger U.
They apparently track and score these things. The Ohio entrant that held the title for 11 years and is actually taller by 4 feet. Girth matters, though, as the
McDonald's/Illinois competitor is thicker and wider overall. It outscored the Ohio based tree 266-233.

You're a Jerk, Rich! Shows how much you know about Ohio STATE football. You need to do research before you put the pencil in your hand. You must work for espn.

What is your complaint here Rudy? Oh, wait. Is it the fact that you actually have to live in the sh*thole otherwise known as Ohio?

Dr Huxtable, I'm not complaining. I just happen to be a Buckeye fan and support them. I love living in Ohio. Lived here all my life. You must be a michigan fan. I can sense the displeasure of supporting a losing program. Don't give up hope, someday they will be recognized as a national contender. Maybe even get another shot at Appy State.

I'm definitely not a michigan fan. I just happen to realize that Ohio sucks. Why did you call Rich a jerk? Why are you complaining about his lack of research?
