Excerpt: The Ohio State Buckeyes football team is an intercollegiate varsity sports team of The Ohio State University. The team is a member of the Big Ten Conference of the NCAA, playing at the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, formerly Division I-A, level. The team nickname is derived from the state tree of Ohio. The Buckeyes have played their home games in Ohio Stadium, more commonly called "The Horseshoe," since 1922. In their 121-year history, the Buckeyes claim seven national championships, but were consensus national champions six times. On September 6, 2008, the Buckeyes defeated the Ohio Bobcats, 26-14, for their 800th win, becoming the fifth FBS team to reach the mark. The following is a list of Ohio State's recognized national championships: Ohio State also has also been awarded titles unrecognized by both the NCAA and the University in: 1933, 1944, 1969, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1998 Ohio State joined the Big Ten in 1913; before that they were a member of the Ohio Athletic Conference and won two OAC titles. Ohio State has won a championship in the Big Ten 32 times, second most in the conference and third most conference titles of any school in any conference. In the spring of 1890 George Cole, an undergraduate, persuaded Alexander S. Lilley to coach a football team at the Ohio State University. The Buckeyes first game, played on May 3, 1890, at Delaware, Ohio, against Ohio Wesleyan University, was a victory. OSU's first home game took place at 2:30 p.m. on November 1, 1890. The Ohio State University played the University of Wooster on this site, which was then called Recreation Park. Just east of historic German Village, the park occupied the north side of Schiller (now Whittier) between Ebner and Jaeger in what is now Schumacher Place. The weather was perfect, and the crowd cheered loudly. Nonetheless, OSU lost to Wooster, 64-0. Wooster, physically fit for the game, showed OSU that training is critical to winning. Thus, the tradition of training continues. Chic Harl
