          LeBron James, the prodigal son of Akron, Ohio, was on the Ohio State Buckeyes' sideline when they delivered a championship to Ohio in the inaugural College Football Playoff championship game. It didn't matter to LeBron that he was due to potentially return the next day for the Cavaliers after a knee injury. There was no way he was going to miss the Buckeyes' championship.

          As James helped deliver the first professional championship to Northeast Ohio since the Cleveland Browns' 1964 NFL championship, many current and former Buckeyes reacted on Twitter on Sunday night.
