Meet Bud Ossey, the 101-year old Oregon State fan capturing everyone’s hearts

Move over, Sister Jean. Everyone’s talking about Oregon State fan Bud Ossey.

Everyone knows Sister Jean, the 101-year-old chaplain and Loyola Chicago fan that captured the hearts of college basketball fans back in 2018.

But CBS just introduced us to our new obsession, Bud Ossey, a 101-year-old World War II veteran and Oregon State fan who is cheering on the Beavers from home.

Ossey graduated from Oregon State in 1943 and even called Oregon State football games alongside legendary announcer Bob Blackburn for more than 20 years.

Loyola Chicago has been one of college basketball’s favorite Cinderella stories during March Madness, dating back to 2018, and this year is no different as the No. 8 Ramblers battle No. 12 Oregon State in the Sweet 16 round of the men’s NCAA tournament on Saturday.

But the afternoon’s most-heated match-up might not be the one happening on the court. It’s between Sister Jean and Bud Ossey.

This new rivalry has garnered everyone’s attention on Twitter.

Surely, there’s plenty of room for both Sister Jean and Bud Ossey.
