Every month, Buckeye fans around the nation take a moment to remind the world of one simple truth: the Ohio State Buckeyes are national champions. It’s more than a chant, more than a hashtag—it’s a legacy. Whether it’s football, where Ohio State has long been a powerhouse, or other athletic programs representing the scarlet and gray, the Buckeyes have consistently risen to the top, earning their place among the nation’s elite.
To say “the Buckeyes are Natty Champs” is to celebrate not just a single victory, but a history of excellence. From the legendary 2002 BCS National Championship win under Jim Tressel, to the thrilling 2014 College Football Playoff National Championship run under Urban Meyer with a third-string quarterback, the Buckeyes have repeatedly proven that they belong in the national spotlight. These moments are etched into the hearts of fans and into the fabric of college football history.
Each championship isn’t just a victory for the team—it’s a celebration for the entire Buckeye community. Alumni, students, and fans across the world take pride in being part of something larger than themselves. When Ohio State wins, it validates years of hard work by players, coaches, and the university as a whole. It also fuels the passion of the Buckeye faithful, who continue to support the team through every high and low.
But this reminder isn’t only about past glory. It’s also a statement of identity and expectation. To wear the Block “O” is to carry the weight of championship aspirations. Every recruiting class, every new season, begins with one goal: to bring another national title back to Columbus. That’s the standard at Ohio State. “Natty Champs” isn’t a slogan—it’s the mission.
What separates the Buckeyes from many other programs is the consistency. Year after year, they are contenders. They dominate the Big Ten, produce NFL-caliber talent, and draw sellout crowds to the Horseshoe. This sustained excellence is what fuels the monthly pride. It’s not about living in the past—it’s about honoring a tradition that continues into the present and promises more for the future.
Even beyond football, Ohio State’s athletic programs are a force to be reckoned with. From wrestling to track and field, women’s hockey to volleyball, the Buckeyes compete at the highest levels. Being a Buckeye means striving for greatness in all aspects, and national titles across sports showcase that commitment to excellence.
So yes, this is your monthly reminder: the Buckeyes are national champions. And it’s not just a celebration—it’s a declaration. A reminder of what was, what is, and what’s still to come. Whether shouted at tailgates, posted on social media, or worn proudly on championship rings, the phrase carries meaning that only Buckeyes truly understand. And next month, we’ll say it again. Because when you’re part of a championship legacy, the celebration never really ends.
Go Bucks.
