It's an Ohio State fan web site. Ohio State = Buckeyes. So presumably Bucknuts are people who go "nuts" over the buckeyes.

Yeah, that and the fact that a Buckeye is a nut.

Anyway, this situation is a shame for all concerned.
I've been on several sports message boards since this story broke. The consensus seems to be that this young woman is "making this story up". For the life of me, I don't know why a woman would do this knowing she's going to be slammed by the fans and the media (ala Kobots).
