Alright, so you wanna know about them Ohio State Buckeyes and their football championships, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, that team’s got a whole heap of ’em. Don’t rightly know all the fancy details, but I’ll tell ya what I know. Been hearin’ about them Buckeyes for years, ya know.
Them Buckeyes got eight championships, they say. Eight! Can ya believe it? That’s a whole lotta winnin’. First one way back when, in 1942, I reckon. Folks was talkin’ ’bout it even way out here. Then they got more in ’54, ’57, ’61, ’68, and ’70. Those were the good ol’ days, I guess.
Then things changed, ya know. They started doin’ this bowl game stuff. Said they’d pick a champion after the bowl games. The Buckeyes, they kept on winnin’, but it wasn’t always clear if they was the best. They played in a lot of them bowl games, won some, lost some. More wins than losses, though, that’s for sure.
Then comes this fella named Jim Tressel. Folks liked him. He got the team another championship in 2002. Fiesta Bowl, they called it. Big game, lots of excitement. Folks was yellin’ and cheerin’ all over. After that, they got another one in 2014. Beat some team, I dunno who, but they won, that’s what matters. Heard it was a real nail-biter.
Now, they got this new thing, the College Football Playoff. Sounds fancy, don’t it? The Buckeyes, they got in there a few years back, in 2020 or 2021, somethin’ like that. Made it all the way to the championship game, but lost to that Alabama team. Folks was disappointed, but hey, you can’t win ’em all. That Alabama team is tough, I tell ya. They got good players, just like the Buckeyes.
- So, let’s see, that’s eight championships: 1942, 1954, 1957, 1961, 1968, 1970, 2002, and 2014.
- They been to lots of bowl games, more than 40, I heard. Won some, lost some, but mostly won the important ones.
- And they play in that big league, the NCAA Division I, somethin’ or other. Means they play the best teams, I reckon.
The Buckeyes, they always been a good team. Always got good players. Folks ’round here, they love them Buckeyes. Win or lose, they support ’em. It’s somethin’ to see, all that excitement. They wear their colors, paint their faces, and yell till they’re hoarse. It’s a real sight, I tell ya. Makes ya feel good, even if ya don’t know nothin’ about football.
And that’s about all I know about them Ohio State Buckeyes and their championships. They won a bunch, that’s for sure. And they’ll probably win some more, if they keep playin’ like they do. They got a good coach, good players, and a whole lotta fans. That’s a good combination, I reckon. So, there ya have it. Hope that answers your question. It’s a lot to remember for an old gal like me, but I tried my best!
They were ranked in the AP Poll 71 times, that’s what I heard. That means they’re always one of the top teams, year after year. Always up there with the best. They gotta be doin’ somethin’ right.
So next time you hear about them Buckeyes, you’ll know they got a history of winnin’. A long and proud history. And them fans, they’ll be cheerin’ ’em on, no matter what. That’s just how it is with the Buckeyes. They’re more than just a team, they’re a part of somethin’ bigger. A part of Ohio, I guess.
