I drove Through A Tornado Warning today, w/pull off at Lane Ave. exit RIGHT next to the Shott/OSU arena, w/black wall clouds alll around us - to be where I was with a fellow OHIO grad's house - to watch the game - just like we did two years ago Vs Tenn.
I am a bit PERTURBED - by the FAIR WEATHER FANS I have been getting/have seen posts one here about their OHIO PRIDE (?). "I live in/close to (insert somewhere else city/university name) now - and ALL my Friends/Aquaintences root for this "ex-Pat" university, so I do too now, but, So Glad OU/OHIO won tonight......
BULL - POOP (deference to Swank)
I - Personally - Do Not Share in this years OHIO success w/the "Vichy-Bobcats"!
Either you are - Every Day - or your NOT!
Cool your Jets, bro!!!
Let's remember something here. Every person that I know who attended Ohio University, loved their time there. I loved every minute of it. While, I am a huge supporter of the athletic program - my greatest memories in school had nothing to do with the success of our athletic programs. Well, there were a few, but ...
Maybe you remember your first Halloween, when you did something dumb at Palmer Fest or when threw up in the middle of Court Street during the homecoming parade. Or maybe it was something you learned or the great people you met.
This team and other athletic programs, give the alum, who might not be "diehards," a reminder of how great Ohio University is, was and will forever be.
Please don't hate on alumni because you have so much pride being an OU "diehard" fan. Don't forget where you came from, I know this attitude wouldn't be appreciated or tolerated when I was school. Sounds like something an OSU grad would say.
However, if you are referring to C-BUS people taking pity on us and feeling better about themselves by rooting for OU - then, by all means, please hate away.
