Woah. Apparently former 11W Staffer (and former Ohio House Candidate) wrote an expose on Nevada Buck this morning. Enjoy (?).
NevadaBuck has cobbled together a not-insignificant following among gullible Ohio State fans by posturing as an insider exclusively on message boards and friendly podcasts. The environment is notable in that it allows NevadaBuck to escape the scrutiny that befalls an actual journalist, especially when he’s wrong (and boy, he’s wrong a lot).
If Stickney were just your of the mill scion who enjoyed hobnobbing with football players, this article wouldn’t have been written. Instead, starting with his days on the Scout Recruiting Service message board at BuckeyeSports.com, Stickney’s wealth was not enough to satiate his ego and instead he sought to create an “in-the-know” cult of personality around himself.
