He has a degree from both schools? What does it matter who he claims? He has a championship from the only one that matters.

It is silly, though. Not as silly as Nebraska refusing to recruit a legacy not once, but twice.

Yes, Joe is an Ohio kid, graduate of The Ohio State University, and I guess The Louisiana State University (although clearly he won a dual degree of Heisman and Nattie at LSU). He claims he's a Buckeye and a Tiger, and that's good enough for me, but let's allow him to claim both, not us Buckeye fans claiming him.

He's now leading an historically moribund Ohio NFL franchise, and I think this also has something to do with Ohio pride being shown by Buckeye/Bengals fans.

To all the Tiger fans on this thread, what you aren't realizing is all things wrong and evil in this world all trace back to Ann Arbor. This entire public claiming of Joe as a Buckeye is because a Michigan Man, Tom Brady, told Joe it was good that he left "that godforsaken place" and that got Buckeye Nation all riled up.

Burrow needs to be to OSU like Ricks is to us. Forgotten, a nobody.

Why? Ohio State isn’t forgotten to Joe. He’s a graduate. Remember, he was a grad transfer. I don’t know if Ricks is an LSU grad. Probably half the fan base wanted him over Haskins and those are the ones still claiming. In Joe’s own words, deeds, and actions he’s a Tiger and Buckeye (my ordering was intentional).

In that interview, it was notable what Joe said and didn’t say. After saying he still claims Ohio State in addition to LSU, he said he still stays in contact with coach Day (his OSU OC/QB coach), coach Dennis (his OSU QB QC coach, and coach Marotti (his OSU S&C coach). Notably, no mention of Urban who made the choice for Haskins.

End of the day, it was win-win for both schools. But for Gerry Hodges, we would have played you in the Superdome in Jan 2020 and that would have been a hell of a game.
