Believe it or not...Ohio
State University was without a mascot for over 100 years. In 1965,
an Ohio State art student, Ray Bourhis, was amazed that his school
was without a mascot. The only animal mascot that Ray thought would
make sense was a Buck Deer, this didn't seem quite right. Then, an
idea of a "Buckeye" was devised. Later that year, a naming contest
was held and "Brutus Buckeye" came to life. Did you know? The first
"Brutus Buckeye" costume was made of papier-mache and weighed eighty-five
pounds. |
