the Ohio State Buckeyes

Definition

Ohio State University's football program, famous for winning games despite injuries, questionable officiating, and rival schadenfreude. They play their annual rivalry game against Michigan with the confidence of a team that consistently leaves Wolverines fans crying into their maize and blue.

Example Usage

The Ohio State Buckeyes somehow won again even though their quarterback was a walk-on from the intramural flag football league.
