Does anyone remember when people used to refer to Ohio state routes as "Buckeyes"? People actually talked about "Buckeye 32", "Buckeye 125", etc.
I remember this being common in the '70s. Then I never heard any reference to it again, except once around 1992 when a local traffic reporter jokingly said "Buckwheat 28."
Only if poo.
I never heard this. Perhaps I'm too young. It's a lot less boring than "state route", though.
I have been in and near enough to Ohio over the last 45 years or so, and I have never heard Ohio state routes referred to as Buckeyes.
It doesn't sound like a bad thing. I've just never heard it.

And what does this have to do with the subject at hand? Enquiring minds want to know.
Probably just some local announcer's catchphrase.
