Talk about the Buckeyes the Wolverines the Hilltoppers the Ducks the Beavers the Chanticleers... or anyone else who isn't BG or an opponent in this forum.
Everybody on here looks like a jealous crybaby. You take any chance you get to hate on Ohio State simply because you want to be Ohio State. Don't lie, you can admit it. Admitting it is the first step.
No, I don't want to be Ohio State. I want to be Bowling Green. But I would like it if Bowling Green were as respected as Ohio State, instead of treated like second class citizens. In most sports, the two schools compete directly against each other, so why treat it as though we're talking about an MLB team playing their single A affiliate? If I must be forced to accept that BG is somehow a lower tier team than OSU or any other Big Ten school, then by the same proxy, OSU fans need to be made to accept that their team (and the rest of the Big Ten) is a lower tier than schools in conferences like the Pac-10, the Big 12 or the SEC.
I personally have no problem with someone being an OSU fan. I am not one, but I am also a Tennessee fan in addition to BG. (With BG at the top for me.) I understand growing up in Ohio and rooting for OSU, even though I grew up here and didn't become a Buckeye fan. I see no reason why someone can't be a fan of more than one school. The only thing that bothers me is when someone goes to a BG game wearing OSU attire, or leaves said BG game to go watch OSU on tv. You don't see me leaving a BG game to watch Tennessee. And you can argue that it's because those people are bigger OSU fans than BG fans, while I claim to be a bigger BG fan than UT fan. Well, if I were at a Tennessee game, I wouldn't leave it to go watch BG either. When you're at one game, I think it's only right to support that team. Besides the fact that I'd rather watch a game with a team I like live than watch another team I like on the tv. (Now, there are of course exceptions. I might stay home entirely from a UT game to watch a big BG game if it were on TV, but this is assuming that both are just run of the mill, regular season games. Either way, If I were at a UT game, as long as they weren't playing BG, [should that ever happen] then I wouldn't be wearing BG gear, and I would stay there for the whole game.)
You wouldn't leave a UT game because it would cost you minimally 150 bucks just to get in. I would hope that nobody wastes that money just to leave at half time.
Your assertion that "no one would show up" is just plain false. Whether you want to admit it or not, BG does have some true fans who care just as fervently about this school as all the Buckeye fans care about OSU.
You missed the point dufus. Obviously i didn't mean it literally as you took it. Yes, maybe 10,000 people still show up...They would mostly be townies.
I promise you that the student attendance would drop dramatically....by more than half. Face it, not that many students care enough that if they had to pay for a ticket instead of being able to use their student ID to get in, more than 60% if not higher would not bother to go. You can deny that all you want but you would be lying to yourself. They would rather spend the money at the bar or for alcohol at their own party.
I never said it wouldn't. And how nice that you resort to childish name calling. But honestly, is it so wrong of me to want BG to be a respected school and for us to no longer be treated like we are of a lower class than Ohio State? I will say it one last time, I am all for someone being an OSU fan. Go right ahead. But recognize that I am respecting that choice you made and return that respect to me. Let the BG fans be BG fans without acting like we're somehow beneath you.
I don't care that your a BG fan. This is a 5 page thread of Buckeye bashing. All of this disrespect BS that you say you feel is just a creation of your mind because you have a thirst for what OSU is. In other words, you are jealous. I said earlier that is ok, you just have to admit it.
I only bash BG because I DON'T LIKE BG. I don't bash anyone for liking them, that would be dumb. I don't even bash anyone for liking Michigan, I just bash Michigan.
I called you a dufus because you miss my point not because you like BG.
And you missed my point, time and time again. But you don't see me insulting you personally.
Look, you like OSU. Good. Have fun. My "thirst" is not for what OSU specifically is. In case you haven't noticed, OSU is not the only major program in the country. Let a little air out of your ego balloon and stop thinking that everyone who doesn't like you only does so because they are jealous of you. That's not the case.
I guess this is my fault though, I forgot the old saying about arguing for a bit there.

Who would want to be like the team that everyone outside of Ohio hates with a passion?
Puhlease. Thats not even close to true. I have tons of relatives from other states, and OSU is always well represented when I visit.
By the way, your Badgers have lost 7 of their last 12 games. AND they beat OSU by FIVE!! How that is owning someone I'll never know.
A five point win is pretty significant when scoring is in the low 50's, but that's not why we owned them. We killed them on defense, forced a ton of turnovers and had 15 offensive rebounds. And it must be more embarrassing to LOSE to a team that lost 7 of 12. In defense of the Badgers record, we lost 2 to Purdue, who has always had our number for some reason, a game we almost won against Michigan State in East Lansing, and one on a miraculous 3 by Lawrence Westbrook to send the game into OT. You want to talk about embarrassing, lets talk about the Suckeyes 28 point home loss to West Virginia

I understand growing up in Ohio and rooting for OSU, even though I grew up here and didn't become a Buckeye fan. I see no reason why someone can't be a fan of more than one school. The only thing that bothers me is when someone goes to a BG game wearing OSU attire, or leaves said BG game to go watch OSU on tv. You don't see me leaving a BG game to watch Tennessee. And you can argue that it's because those people are bigger OSU fans than BG fans, while I claim to be a bigger BG fan than UT fan. Well, if I were at a Tennessee game, I wouldn't leave it to go watch BG either. When you're at one game, I think it's only right to support that team. Besides the fact that I'd rather watch a game with a team I like live than watch another team I like on the tv. (Now, there are of course exceptions. I might stay home entirely from a UT game to watch a big BG game if it were on TV, but this is assuming that both are just run of the mill, regular season games. Either way, If I were at a UT game, as long as they weren't playing BG, [should that ever happen] then I wouldn't be wearing BG gear, and I would stay there for the whole game.)
You wouldn't leave a UT game because it would cost you minimally 150 bucks just to get in. I would hope that nobody wastes that money just to leave at half time.
Your assertion that "no one would show up" is just plain false. Whether you want to admit it or not, BG does have some true fans who care just as fervently about this school as all the Buckeye fans care about OSU.
You missed the point dufus. Obviously i didn't mean it literally as you took it. Yes, maybe 10,000 people still show up...They would mostly be townies.
I promise you that the student attendance would drop dramatically....by more than half. Face it, not that many students care enough that if they had to pay for a ticket instead of being able to use their student ID to get in, more than 60% if not higher would not bother to go. You can deny that all you want but you would be lying to yourself. They would rather spend the money at the bar or for alcohol at their own party.
I never said it wouldn't. And how nice that you resort to childish name calling. But honestly, is it so wrong of me to want BG to be a respected school and for us to no longer be treated like we are of a lower class than Ohio State? I will say it one last time, I am all for someone being an OSU fan. Go right ahead. But recognize that I am respecting that choice you made and return that respect to me. Let the BG fans be BG fans without acting like we're somehow beneath you.
I don't care that your a BG fan. This is a 5 page thread of Buckeye bashing. All of this disrespect BS that you say you feel is just a creation of your mind because you have a thirst for what OSU is. In other words, you are jealous. I said earlier that is ok, you just have to admit it.
I only bash BG because I DON'T LIKE BG. I don't bash anyone for liking them, that would be dumb. I don't even bash anyone for liking Michigan, I just bash Michigan.
I called you a dufus because you miss my point not because you like BG.
And you missed my point, time and time again. But you don't see me insulting you personally.
Look, you like OSU. Good. Have fun. My "thirst" is not for what OSU specifically is. In case you haven't noticed, OSU is not the only major program in the country. Let a little air out of your ego balloon and stop thinking that everyone who doesn't like you only does so because they are jealous of you. That's not the case.
I guess this is my fault though, I forgot the old saying about arguing for a bit there.
I'm slightly inebriated at the moment, and I just wanted to add one more tier to this massive double-sided pyramid.
Its mesmerizing.
There really should be a law against this kind of fun.
Wow. At point does it stop doing this I wonder?
(And what do you know, some good did come out of a stupid argument.)
sorry just got home from the bar, had to add on to this its AMAZING
Surprisingly, it is just as impressive when sober.

Everybody on here looks like a jealous crybaby. You take any chance you get to hate on Ohio State simply because you want to be Ohio State. Don't lie, you can admit it. Admitting it is the first step.
No, I don't want to be Ohio State. I want to be Bowling Green. But I would like it if Bowling Green were as respected as Ohio State, instead of treated like second class citizens. In most sports, the two schools compete directly against each other, so why treat it as though we're talking about an MLB team playing their single A affiliate?

Who would want to be like the team that everyone outside of Ohio hates with a passion?
Puhlease. Thats not even close to true. I have tons of relatives from other states, and OSU is always well represented when I visit.
By the way, your Badgers have lost 7 of their last 12 games. AND they beat OSU by FIVE!! How that is owning someone I'll never know.
In defense of the Badgers record, we lost 2 to Purdue, who has always had our number for some reason, a game wealmostwon against Michigan State in East Lansing, and one on a miraculous 3 by Lawrence Westbrook to send the game into OT.
You can't defend a teams record. It is what it is.
Almost only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and nuclear warfare. In basketball, an almost win is a loss no matter how you look at it.
