"This truly has been an outstanding fall for me at Ohio State, thanks in part to your hard work and determination throughout the season. I have been very impressed with how you have excelled both on and off the field, showing exceptional skill, teamwork, class and integrity -- and bringing great pride to all Ohio State fans. You can be assured that scarlet and gray will decorate the State of Arizona this January to support you in this special season."

"The Ohio State student body is extremely proud of the dedicated players and coaches who have made this a fantastic season and completely deserving of the National Championship. Everyone will be cheering loud and with pride, either in Glendale or back at home in Columbus, as the Buckeyes achieve victory and prove to the nation what we as students already know: Ohio State truly has the best team in the land. Good luck and GO BUCKS!"

"Congratulations to The Ohio State University football Buckeyes on your perfect regular season and outright Big Ten Championship!

Your performances on and off the field have been the topic of discussion for our men's golf team throughout the fall as we have practiced and competed. We have talked at great length about your extraordinary accomplishments and how you have worked and acted as a `team' in its truest sense. The love, friendship, and trust that you have shown to one another serves as an inspiration to all and example to our team, in particular. Your work-ethic, determination and focus are second-to-none and we take great pride in all that you have accomplished for yourselves, the university and our terrific community.

We wish you only the very best in all that you do. Continue to find your strength in the `team' and in one another.

`Time and change will surely show, how firm thy friendship...O-hi-o!'

GO BUCKS! Beat Florida."
Sincerely,
The Men's Golf Team

Growing up in Zanesville, Ohio, it was Ohio State all the time. Everything you heard about concerned The Ohio State University Buckeyes. I've followed Ohio State all my life and could not be happier for the football team's success this season. I wish them the best of luck on Jan. 8. I can't wait for the game. It's almost like waiting for Christmas. Go Bucks!
