What’s a buckeye?

According to Jon Stewart (who–as we know–is a legitimate news source),

• A buckeye is a gay acorn.

Other ideas:

• A stinky nut that comes off of the Aesculus glabra Willdenow tree
• A fat blob with a football shaped head
• Something wolverines eat for breakfast

“Wolverine?” you say. What’s that?

Well, the wolverine has been described as the fiercest creature on earth. Boo-yah!

Years ago, I started a new job and my new boss (a Vanderbilt grad, totally clueless about a Big-10 rivalry) expressed concern that the board president was an OSU grad who had indicated concern about my resume. Specifically my education.

BOARD PREZ: Well, you should know that more Michigan grads screw up at companies than OSU grads.

ME: Well, Dave, I guess they didn’t teach analytical thinking at your “school for dummies.” The thing is, there are more U-M grads in charge. d’oh! (Anyway, we have better helmets!)

So Dave, this is for you…

GO BLUE!
