Why do I hate OSU so much?

Yeah, I get jealous of a bunch of drunken a-holes who overturn cars and start riots.

I'm not jealous of Buckeye fans, but that is a downside to being that big. I was at the Washington-OSU game a few years ago and was hanging out at Four Kegs afterwards. Having OSU gear on at the time (I was still an OSU/UT fan at the time), I was embarrassed by the way Washington fans were treated as they walked back to their cars or tried to stop into the bar. There were also a lot of Buck-on-Buck fights going on too. I can definitely see the negative in them and I'm proud to say that I'm a Rocket fan instead. But, they still do have a nice get-up and great support throughout the whole state of Ohio.

Nice, dude. I'm sure we've ruined your world and that of many others. How dare we question the hegemony of Ohio State in the State of Ohio? I mean, it isn't like there are any other DI football schools in the state! We are all terrible, terrible people and we surely owe you and appology! Let me be the first!

No, not the world. Just this website. My world is doing just fine. I have life outside of this place.

Not that I really care, because I don't. I'm really just curious. Why would an OSU fan come on a board for another D1 school expecting to find love for OSU? You seem to think that, because we're from the MAC, we should be in awe of OSU and love OSU because we're in Ohio, even though we play some of the same teams including OSU! Where is the sense in that? Would you go on to, let's say, Florida State's board and expect to find love for OSU? No. So why would you expect to find it here? Come on, that's just plain stupid. Most of the posters on this board have chosen to put 100% of their support behind BGSU sports....why would you expect otherwise? After all this is a BGSU sports BBS...how strange that one doesn't find a lot of support for OSU here. I wonder why that is?

There are other posters here that like OSU but have learned NOT to pay attention to or even get involved in these stupid threads. Let it go. There will be people anywhere you go that can't stand OSU, that's just the way it is. If you can't live with that then your problems run much, much deeper.

I vote that this thread be locked and left to die.

For not caring that is quite a long post. I never mentioned liking OSU, I was talking about this entire forum in general.

People like BleedingOrange are the problem with this place anymore. He is like Golfer with a slighty better vocabulary and a little bit of NWLB on the side. He feels the need to frequent this place 38 times a day and reply with the same tired comments over and over again (ex. TG is a douchebag). They are not even funny 90% of the time. I always love it when he uses big words in his posts but they do not really fit. This is a sports message board not your thesis.

He talks about Teke always tearing people down but he rips on posters like Falconboy, BG24, Teke, and others every chance he gets. Falconboy is about a good of a fan as you can find. He did not even go to BG but still follows football and basketball (men and women) as closely as anyone else around here.
That and his and other posters need to correct spelling and grammer errors every chance they get is pretty damn petty. If spelling is so important to the core of this message baord then why is there not a spell check option next to the submit button? Get over it. Wait read over my post and give me a grade. I know you want to.

The ability to ignore those who grate on you is a good thing. You, like everyone else here, have the option to not read certain people's posts. BO does enjoy antagonizing, I'll give you that, but he can be reasoned with. Throwing arguments and whatever at him w/o facts is not the way to do it because he will throw it right back in your face. Back it up with proof and he'll accept it. (The douchebag insults are usually aimed at his friends, those who know him personally and/or went to school with him. I doubt that he cares whether or not you or anyone else finds them funny.)

As for my previous post, I said I didn't care about it, not that I didn't have an opinion. If I truly cared I would have posted a long time ago. My feelings towards OSU and the Big 10 leans towards apathy unless we're playing them. But I do find it almost hilarious when one of their fans expect the posters on this board to be an OSU or UM fan or whatever. They seem almost shocked to find out that many of us don't care, and that quite a few tend to very much dislike the Big 10 and the BCS. It's almost sacrilege!

Proof reading is also a good thing. It doesn't take much to have a word processor up while typing to make sure that you spelled everything correctly. It's an impression of yourself that you're presenting to all who read this board.

Once again I never said anything about liking OSU. Actually it is quite the opposite but my like or dislike of OSU was never the point. My point is that people like BO say things like "And that is the response of a person who has no concept of reality and needs to validate himself by tearing down others." Yet they tear down others daily.

Proof reading is also a good thing. It doesn't take much to have a word processor up while typing to make sure that you spelled everything correctly. It's an impression of yourself that you're presenting to all who read this board.

I agree. However, it is a poor reason to attack and criticize people. I know it has driven new posters out of here in the past. It is just my opinion but it is uncalled for. You can probably tell I have been coming to AZZ for a long time. This place has changed a great deal and not for the better.

No doubt, it's different. Unfortunately that's one of the prices of success. The more popular it becomes, the more diverse personalities show up. Some good, some not. And some take a lot of getting used to. An ignore button would be nice, but Grant runs this place on his own dime and I'll not begrudge him the time or inclination to add one. ( FF and I make an occasional donation to help offset the cost or for him to donate to his favorite charity but not nearly enough.)

On the flip side, many of the old timers are still here and still post. Of the newbies, some are worth reading, some aren't. It's easy to figure out which and, after a few posts, they're easy to ignore.

You're also right about BO (sorry BO, but I have to say this), he could use a lesson in diplomacy. There are better ways to express disagreement. I've met him and know that a lot of what he writes here isn't always meant the way that it gets interpreted which is why I've grown to taking it with a grain of salt. Personal attacks, however, should be relegated to a PM if at all.

I agree that the board has changed for the worse and some of the new people have had a hand in that. Also it would be nice if you could post under your screen name.

The post was started and revived by the troll Germainfitch1. Is he new? NO . Without him bringing it back after months, this thread would not have life.

Screen name? - How about- The Observer -if I need one.

I too you could call an "observer." I have been reading AZZ for a few years now (never signed up, nor do i plan to) and have always been impressed with this site compared to other sites.
With that being said, I believe that some folks need to get life. Ohio and BG fans. This is the "other schools" forum and set up to discuss other schools, so why get upset if "other schools" are discussed here? This is not your house you did not build it. Grant built this and he probably decided to have "other schools" forum because he knew that people like both OSU and BGSU. I bet the number of OSU fans that read this board is astounding. I have never heard the argument that, "since you did not go there you can't be a fan/have love of them" until I cam to this board. Also, it is one of the most stupid arguments I have ever heard. I grew up with everything Buckeye, Penn State and Dayton Flyers/WSU. Just because I spent 4 years of my life at BG I can't profess my love for those formentioned schools? Please, some of you self righteous BG fans need to get over yourselves, and the same goes for the OSU posters as well. I loved going to BG b-ball and football (even went to the bowl games) games but I prefer a UD b-ball (hometown) game anyday of the week compared to BG. There is a reason UD always gets the tourney and is usally top 25 attendance. Bring your "never went there" argument over to my family from PA that never went to PSU but have a deep passion for the Lions. You would get laughed right out of the house. Same would go for MILLIONS of households around the great state of OH-IO. I live in SC now and I prefer USC game experience over BG anyday, does that make me a bad BG fan? I think not, I wore my BG gear in the SC student section (SC coaches pass) no one said I should get out b/c of another school I was wearing. BG was/is great, but some of you need to realize there is life outside of NW Ohio and Columbus. The world would go on without both. But, the world would not go on without Clemson (booo Tigers, go COCKS!)

Go BG Falcons!
Go USC Cocks
Go UD Flyers
Go PSU Nittany Lions
Go OSU Buckeyes

Also as I said before THIS WAS STARTED BY ONE OF THE "BG ONLY" FANS ABOUT OHIO STATE. YOU GUYS CONSTANTLY TALK ABOUT THEM SO YOU EXPECT THE ONES WHO LIKE OSU NOT TO JOIN IN THE CONVERSATION?

ALSO,

I dont think any of the OSU fans care that you dislike Ohio State. We are just voicing an opposite opinion of the HATE THAT YOU ALWAYS DISPLAY and since it is an opinion different than yours, some of you refer to "TEARING PEOPLE DOWN. *cough cough BO cough*

Which is why I have done it. I equal out the equation and you cant handle it becuase there is something a little different in your world since i have been here.

i have never tried to make anyone like OSU, my point in posting pro OSU is to bring balance to a lame "you must only like the school you attend/graduate from" attitude

peace
