The Ohio buckeye is the state tree of Ohio and an original term of endearment for the pioneers on the Ohio frontier, with specific association with William Henry Harrison. Subsequently, the word was used as the nickname of the Ohio State University sports teams and came to be applied to any graduate of the university.
The buckeye confection, made to resemble the tree's nut, is made by dipping a dollop of peanut butter fudge in milk chocolate, leaving a circle of the peanut butter exposed. These are a popular treat in Ohio, especially during the Christmas and NCAA college football seasons.
The buckeye got its name when Native Americans noticed the nuts' resemblance to a buck's eye.
It is also consider to be a 'good luck' symbol. Should I get LSU fans one to carry? 
Nut, please do not go through the trouble of getting these so-called luck charms for LSU. The Florida Gators have a surplus of these nuts leftover from last year's BCS title game....which were totally USELESS!!
The Louisiana Tigers was the common nickname for a brigade of infantry in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. Although its exact composition changed as the war progressed, the Tigers were a key part of the Army of Northern Virginia and developed a reputation as fearless, hard fighting shock troops.
The origin of the term came from the "Tiger Rifles," a volunteer company raised in the New Orleans area as part of Major Chatham Roberdeau Wheat's battalion of Louisiana infantry. A large number of the men were foreign-born, particularly Irish immigrants, many from the city's wharves and docks. Another large segment were French-speaking Creoles. Many men had previous military experience in local militia units or as filibusters.
During the Gettysburg Campaign, the Tigers were feared by much of the southern Pennsylvania populace, who feared the thievery and drunkenness that were associated with the colorful Louisianians.
During the reorganiztion of Robert E. Lee's army in 1864, Hays's much depleted brigade of Tigers was consolidated with the "Pelican Brigade," another veteran Louisiana brigade. The nickname Tigers eventually came to encompass all Louisiana infantry troops that fought under Lee.
The nickname "Tigers" lives on with the athletic teams of the Louisiana State University.
