Strange as this may seem, during the game I was continually updating and reading a chat thread on an Ohio State forum. Were they worried? Well, I must say that the Buckeye fans impressed me with their sportsmanship - They weren't content that they had already taken Theo out of the game (and for the year), there were multiple posts hoping that the defense would be able to injure Boo as well. I must say that I've never, ever seen any fans of any team rooting for their team to injure players of the other team, except that day. Were they worried? Ummm ... yeah, they were worried, and pretty pathetic, too.

I have to say Buckeye fans are the worst fans in NCAA athletics. It must be embarrassing for the university.

In the spirit of the original thread, I am not rooting for ,or against Ohio State.  They are simply another school I did not attend, therefore I do not care about them.  In related news, I do not care how Florida, Alabama or USC do this weekend either.  I know many think they have justified their adoration for multiple schools, but I just don't get it.  My brother went to Cincinnati, my parents went to Kent, my grandfather went to OSU, I occasionally go to WVU to watch a game and I watched an SMU game on TV as a kid once.  None of these is a valid reason to think I can have multiple loyalties because one time in my life, they were "my team".  Once I enrolled at Ohio University, that became my team.  Period.

Let's remember our places by trudging up to Columbus every other year or so to get paid to be reminded of our place in the pecking order.

Why don't we make Ohio State sweat our games out? Next time they call and offer us a lot of money, let's tell them we will play, but we get to pick the spot. All the money goes to our travel to a destination of our choice to play vs. tOSU. 

I choose Europe. Sure, our fans won't go, but at least we'll test the willingness of tOSU fans to travel to Europe to watch their beloved Buckeyes play in a game against a team they perceive as beneath them.

Some of us can bask in the free trip to Europe and, if we win...some of those Ohio State fans will get arrested by a police force used to dealing with European Football fans, not some lame ass American university students/alumni who can't figure out that being 50 years old and wearing the jersey of an 19 year old is just a little creepy.

So there are a lot of Ohio State fans...Way to prove a point that no one was arguing. 



This is a good way of describing how they view our fandom.  When someone finds out Im not an OSU fan, they ask me who I root for, and their response is typically "Yeah, but....like, who do you really root for?"  They think we should just be fans like our buddy OzCat, where we love our Bobcats but forever view them as the harmless little brother of the REAL team.

I dont want anything from them, including no attitiude and disrespect.  Who said anyone was crying everytime?  We're just having a discussion here dude.  Since when is not liking rude people and general douche bags being a patsy?

I generally cheer for OSU except when they play us, then I pray like heck that we clobber them as much as possible because here in Cleveland OSU might as well be our 3rd sports team behind the Browns and the Lebron-less CAVs. 

I will say though that when it was in Mobile after the GMAC loss, I couldn't help but hope that Ohio State would beat Florida to win the championship.  The Alabama people were so smug about the SEC.  At the end of the day I'm an Ohioan and Ohio State is the best this state has (as far as football goes).

Needless to say, man I'm a pulling for OU to beat OSU next week!!!!  Can you imagine, in the same year we beat #3 ranked (in the Regional bracket) Georgetown in March Madness then beat #2 overall Ohio State in football?!?!?  I'd have bragging rights over my friends for years!  

 

Ok take for instance Texas vs OSU at Ohio Stadium. I went to the game with my dad people sitting next to us were texas fans and they had two little kids with them probably like 5 and 11 years old. During the course of the game fans through everything they could at these people hit the kids with flying objects and they parents went and bought osu shirts for all of them so they wouldnt have to deal with that anymore. That is sad at OU we would never treat people like that and im proud. And why dont you just go to bucknuts or something, your obviously not a true fan so just stop, its really annoying.

I do not like you. Also, I see no one wearing scarlet and grey here, ever. So there goes that theory.
