And another thing....Anyone seen wearing Ohio State paraphernalia on campus this week, ESPECIALLY ON GAME DAY should be confronted. In an ideal world if the offender is a current student, they should be reported to Dean of Students office and expelled from school.
If you want to be an OSU fan that bad where you are willing to root against your own school than go to Columbus for an education.
The wearing of other school's apparel was dealt with rather sternly by Dean Lombardi at all of this summer's freshmen orientations. He actually called-out students, made them stand up in front of their peers and parents, and explain why they decided to put that Ohio State shirt on when they were attended Ohio University orientation event. There were about 200 students and their parents in attendance during these events. He went on to tell them that wearing other school's stuff on OUr campus was not acceptable and then gave each of the culprits an Ohio University tee shirt and made them put it on. He made it clear to all the incoming freshmen that they chose to come to Athens and loyalty is expected from each and every student on campus. I don't know how many years this has been done but at least someone is trying to make changes in the student's attitudes about school loyalty. I respect Dean Lombardi for his efforts and his willingness to step up and take a stand.
Anyone who has a problem with this at any level is a fool and not worthy of being a Bobcat fan, let alone an alum. When you enroll at Ohio University you remove all Ohio State University at Columbus gear.
