Does anyone know what a Buckeye is good for?

They are good for throwing at folks.

I cannot find anyone who knows a use for these things. Does this make them useless? If so then, Why name your football team after them?

[Barnacle Bill]

Making a necklace.

THE Buckeyes are good for nothing, except producing headcase football players and being over rated despite a ridiculous schedule. Oh, you meant the nuts?....Their good for nothing also, except something to slip on in the woods.

I don't know ANYTHING about football, but the actual buckeye is an excellant arthritis remedy. Take one and carry it in your pocket all the time. It needs to be dry.

The name Buckeye comes from the folklore of the Native Americans who noticed that the nut of the Buckeye tree resembles the eye of a buck deer. They also roasted, peeled and mashed the buckeye nut which they called Hetuck into a nutritional meal. The poisonous and bitter tast can be eliminated by heating and leaching. Some believe that the buckeye relieves rheumatism pain. The symbol of General William Henry Harrison's presidential campaign was a string of buckeyes and a log cabin decorated with raccoon skins. His campaign song called Ohio the bonnie Buckeye state, as a result citizens in Ohio became know as "Buckeyes ." On October 2, 1953 the buckeye tree officially became the state tree.
