Some of those posters have reference to the school in columbus in their handle. Those handles and their rather haughty attitude about columbus raise these
Who cares? Do internet monikers really cause damage to anything other than you own psyche?
When they post on the boards of columbus (the thought of which must wet their pants), do they have any reference to OHIO UNIVERSITY or THE BOBCATS in their handles? Do they stick up for OHIO UNIVERSITY or do they put us down or ignore/disavow us? At OHIO games and columbus games, do they wear OHIO garb?
Have you soiled yourself posting on a board ever? If so, I recommend you seek immediate medical attention. Can't say I've had that problem, but then again, I'm only 32. Maybe that happens with advanced age.
I cannot speak for everyone, but I do not have a handle on any Buckeye board. I read two sites, and that's the extent of my involvement. Also, as previously noted, I do not support OSU financially in any way aside from the occasional ticket purchase.
In my own experience, the huge majority of Buckeye fans I know root for Ohio, so long as we are not playing each other. The only state school that they tend to strongly dislike at all is UC, and they will generally pull for most other state schools.
When I'm at an OU game, I wear green and white. If I'm at a Buckeye game, I wear scarlet and grey. If you need further explanation, PM me.
If they went to/supported UMich and columbus,would they post on the columbus boards with some reference to Mich or the Wolverines in their handles? Would they speak up for the UMich on the columbus boards?
Apparently you're not from around here. That is a real rivalry, not some fabricated one like a few in this wonderful online community think we have with OSU. Animosity, hate, and most important, they actually play each other EVERY year and not once every decade or so.
Satisfied? Don't answer that. We know the answer. Luckily, I don't need your blessing when choosing who to root for.
