OSU superfan ripped for behavior at Earle Bruce celebration of life
By Andrew Olson
Published:
Ohio State fans and media members are calling out Buckeyes superfan Buck-I-Guy for his recent behavior at the celebration of life for the late Earle Bruce.
The service for the former coach was open to the public and Buck-I-Guy showed up in full gameday gear – hat, cape and all – to the event. Twitter user Dustin Stinson captured a photo of Buck-I-Guy in attendance. His tweet accompanying the photo (below) began “Un-(expletive)-believable.”
Stinson wasn’t the only one outraged at Buck-I-Guy for showing up in full gear and drawing attention to himself at the event. Buck-I-Guy signed a large photo of Bruce, to be given to the family, that was meant to be only signed by former players and coaches. This drew the ire of The-Ozone’s Tony Gerdeman.

Others joined in calling out Buck-I-Guy:
Referring to Buck-I-Guy as a self-promoter is a slap in the face to self-promoters.

For all those who criticized my thoughts on Buck I Guy a few months ago, please justify this act…… https://t.co/7gjg6imgVD

It’s safe to say Buck-I-Guy hasn’t made any new fans of his own.
UPDATE: WTVN reporter Matt McCoy reported that the error had been rectified:
A follow up on the Buck-I-Guy, signing the Earle picture mess… It clearly angered former players…to the point that someone used black marker to scribble out his signature and creatively turned it into a drawing of a buckeye.
