OSU
Ohio State University (OSU) in Columbus was founded back in 1870 as the Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College. The athletic teams of OSU are called the Buckeyes, named after the state tree of Ohio. In turn the buckeye tree gets its name from the appearance of its fruit, a dark nut with a light patch thought to resemble a “buck’s eye”. The school’s athletic mascot was introduced in 1965, and is an anthropomorphic buckeye nut named Brutus Buckeye.
The NCAA’s Buckeyes refer to the athletic teams representing Ohio State University. The home of the NCAA’s Buckeyes is Ohio Stadium, also known as “The Horseshoe” or “The Shoe.” Ohio Stadium is located on the campus of Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.
Ohio State University’s athletic teams are known as the Ohio State Buckeyes, and they compete in the Big Ten Conference. The football team, in particular, has a storied history and is highly popular, with Ohio Stadium being one of the iconic venues for college football. The stadium has a seating capacity of over 100,000 spectators and is a significant part of the college sports tradition at Ohio State.
