That quote from a student is splashed across the front page of the Post today. 

Its just a throw away line from some likely inebriated random student.  Or maybe not....

Face it, most people we meet on the streets away from Athens, know us as a party school more than quality athletics, at least in my experience

Football players keep on playing when it rains. Palmerfest partiers apparently do not. Advantage: Sports.

When meeting a non-alum on the streets away from Athens, I'm happy enough when they don't responde with a buckeye's reference.

In that season when we start 8-0, you will get a different opinion.

Actually, it will be the same opinion as students will rockit at Peden.  Then, uptown afterwards.

I'm beyond caring what my fellow student's say about OU athletics anymore. I like watching the Bobcats and thats all i that matters to me.

there not going anywhere, so i don't get what the deal is. this is just an overblown issue that the Post makes a big deal about.

Also, tell all the students that celebrated after we beat Georgetown that athletics don't matter or the over 5,000 fans per game we get at the convo. They seem to care about our athletics. we might not be a sports school but there's still enough of us that do care out there.

Speaking of "fests": OSU Woodfest:

The mug shots make a nice addition to this tale of misguided fest envy.
