Dispatch sports reporter/columnist Rob Oller each week finds a former Buckeye for a question-and-answer session.
James Nein
Age: 71
Years at Ohio State: 1964-67
Current residence: Columbus
Jim Nein came to Ohio State from Middletown, home of Jerry Lucas, so it should come as no surprise that the Columbus attorney spent a good chunk of the past 45 years with one foot in OSU football and one in basketball. Nein played defensive back and linebacker at Ohio State under Woody Hayes and later worked closely with the Buckeyes basketball booster clubs.
