·          Nov 7: Vote for the 100th Anniversary All-Alumni Team of Greatest Buckeye Football Players

 

Nothing brings people together like Buckeye football. From time they enter Ohio State as students through their years as alumni, Buckeyes tailgate together, cheer together, and commiserate together in the rough stretches.

 

That's why Ohio State Alumni Magazine is marking its upcoming 100th year of publication by inviting alumni to select a 100th Anniversary Team of the greatest players in Buckeye history.

 

This is your chance to make your voice heard on one of the most enduring pieces of Buckeye culture, the men who built Ohio State’s rich and storied football tradition.

 

Please, choose responsibly for the following: Offense, Defense, Special Teams, and Head Coach.  You can vote either via a paper ballot in the Ohio State Alumni Magazine or online at the Alumni Association website.
