Buckeye Style
A Red Carpet Tailgate Like No Other!
A Team Huddle. A Powerful Message.
An Unbreakable Bond.
In August 2005, legendary OSU football coach—and now Lt. Governor of Ohio—Jim Tressel brought his Buckeyes – including Bobby Carpenter, together for more than just a game plan.
Motivational speaker Rosemarie Rossetti delivered a moving message about facing adversity.
Wide receiver Tyson Gentry echoed a powerful truth:
“Never give up, no matter how much adversity you face. A lot of people believe in you.”
Four lives. One extraordinary story.
Told together for the first time at the Boundless Bash.
