‘Are those pot leaves on Ohio State’s helmets?’ Yes, others thought so, too

You were not alone in thinking those were marijuana leaves on the back of Ohio State's football helmets on New Year's Day

Let’s be real: During the All State Sugar Bowl on Thursday there was a moment when you found yourself wondering if those decals on the back of Ohio State’s football helmets were marijuana leaves.
No judgement. You weren’t alone. Others asked themselves the same question as they watched the Ohio State Buckeyes beat the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide 42-35 in New Orleans.

Here are 30 others who recently pondered the buckeye stickers — and scroll past the tweets to read the story of a Tennessee police officer who pulled a 65-year-old woman over to question her about the Buckeyes sticker on her back bumper.
“It’s just amazing they would be that dumb,” the woman said at the time.
For now, back to the 30 others who thought the Ohio State players might have been making a political statement this season.

One would assume the more marijuana leaves you have on your helmet at Ohio State the higher you are in the depth chart.

And now back to Bonnie Jonas-Boggioni, who was pulled over in Tennessee in 2013 on her drive from Ohio to Texas — all because of a Buckeye sticker on her car.
One of the officers asked her, “What are you doing with a marijuana sticker on your bumper?” From The Columbus Dispatch’s original report from February 2013:

Neither the Tennessee Highway Patrol nor the Shelby County sheriff’s office in Memphis had information about the traffic stop. A marijuana sticker would not be a sufficient reason to stop a car, said a spokeswoman for the West Tennessee Drug Task Force.
Even if it were, Jonas-Boggioni said, police hunting drugs should know that a Buckeye leaf — which has five leaflets — doesn’t look much like a marijuana leaf, which typically has seven leaflets and a narrower shape.
Before they let her go on her way, the officers advised Jonas-Boggioni to remove the decal from her car.
“I said, ‘You mean in Tennessee?’ and he said, ‘No, permanently.’
“I didn’t take it off. . . . This little old lady is no drug dealer.”

Bunch of SEC Retardds.

Watch one Ohio State game in your life and you won't be the moron asking if they have pot leaves on their helmets.

SMH. I'm glad they beat Bama so all these redneck halfwits can watch some schools play that actually have academic standards.

[RonPaul2008]

It's apparently a different but similar looking leaf. I've seen decals on their helmets before but wasn't sure if these were different.

Buckeye leaves just look similar to Mary Jane

People are dumb... this is a buckeye leaf

[BriGuy]

People are morons. They have been doing this for decades. They shouldn't change a thing just to satiate an ignorant public watching college football for the first time in their lives.
