Online arguments amongst supporters may get quite intense when a player is claimed by one school even though the player did not complete his career there. Fans frequently argue on the previous Twitter site over whether Alabama can claim Jalen Hurts, if Ohio State can claim Jameson Williams, whether Auburn can claim Bo Nix, and whether Ohio State can claim Joe Burrow, among other topics.
Joe Burrow finally shared his thoughts regarding Ohio State supporters who refer to him as a Buckeye during his appearance on Monday’s episode of the well-liked podcast Pardon My Take.
“I practiced football there and did a lot of lifting; I wouldn’t say I played football there. I received my degree. Typically, I tell people that I played football at LSU and attended Ohio State. I didn’t actually state that I played at Ohio State, but I did grow a lot better by practicing there.
Now that Joe Burrow—an Ohio State student and football player for LSU—has addressed the matter, there is no longer any discussion about it. As soon as Joe Burrow stated it, fans took to Twitter to analyze it. LSU fans said that while Ohio State may be given credit for any discoveries Burrow made or for any Nobel Peace Prize he could receive, all football achievements belonged to the Tigers.
