Item Description
Who Doesn't Love Brutus?
1965
October 30 - A Buckeye mascot first appears at the OSU vs. Minnesota Homecoming game. The idea and design for the mascot came from Ray Bourhis, who then got help making the nut from his student organization, Ohio Staters, Inc. This large paper-mache shell was well received by the thousands of Ohio State fans at the game. The mascot was a smiling nut with human legs.
November 13 - Because of weight and size, the original model, only two weeks old at this point, was replaced by a 22 lb. fiberglass shell that included big furry eyebrows. The rest of the features remained the same. This new nut made its debut at the OSU vs. Iowa game, which was also Dad's Day at Ohio State.
November 18 - The Ohio State mascot finally receives a name! A campus wide contest to determine the name for the new born nut was held and judges announced that the winning entry was "Brutus Buckeye," submitted by Kerry Reed.
