Share Your OSU Stories of "Class"

Let us begin with cooler stories…

On mobile so having trouble posting screenshot but it’s some OSU students making a reference to the flint water crisis on one of those bedsheet signs they hang in front of student houses

Who cares what they say. I’ve got 27 to 42 reasons why their opinion doesn’t matter. 

Urban Meyer taught an ethics “class” at OSU.

I kind of think the mob of drooling, drunk assholes in the stands that scream every vulgar obscenity imaginable at the other team, the other fans, the cheerleaders, their own team (when they aren't winning).  kind of set the bar for "class acts" in Ohio.   It creates a nice family atmosphere for those that bring their kids to a game.

Zack Smith beating and stalking his wife and Urban Meyer being cool with it?

Marcus Hall literally double birded Michigan Stadium after getting ejected. ??‍♂️

Couple threads down. Zach Smith. Toxic, shameless ball of self-entitled Buckeye bluster. Blames everyone but himself for burning through five lifetimes worth of second chances. And still has the support of many loudmouth wife beating truck drivers from Ohio. 

OSU and their fans really are such a group of whiny pussies.

They dominate a rivalry for 2 decades, get every officiating call and break (injuries, lucky bounces) in that time and proceed to burn UM jerseys, talk of “hang 100”, and mock Harbaugh and the program.

UM eats all this shit, as it’s a rivalry after all, and despite OSU building a semi-pro team with institutional advantages, we go out and destroy them this year.  Game wasn’t even as close as the score…they got hammered…out-willed, out-coached and looked softer than charmin.

1 loss and  some rivalry banter the other way and they lose their collective sense of self worth.  What a pathetic fan base.

Sure and next we’ll all tell stories of our encounters with big foot.

1997, the Day after The Game, go to a Bengals game, *live in cincy* wear my Michigan starter jacket.. yep still had it, attend the game with my ex.  Going to our seats an osu fan says something, I laugh it off score board, go to the next row past where our seats are behind them.  Midway through the 1st half I go down to get a beer, nachos and something else for the ex.  She decides she wants to come with me, the osu dude trips her as she heads down the steps.  We had just found out she was pregnant..  I go off, and the entire crowd immediately have us separated.  Ushers called and they either removed him or he left but it was ugly, still maybe the angriest I have been in my life.  

I have others but that’s the one that takes the cake in my experience

To be transparent. Most OSU fans around here (Central Ohio) know they got their asses handed to them, gave me congrats and most admit that the better team won. I'm sure there are outliers to throw blame to whatever reason they can grasp, and those are the highly publicized denials that we feed off of. 

You say recent years and your own anecdote is dated 2013...which is hardly recent. 

Please don't think BPONE is just what we do, the chicken littles around Ohio are running rampant. 

Gordon Gee, then president of OSU hoping that he doesn’t get fired by a bible-thumping Jim Tressel. Even in jest, it’s an insult to every degree issued by that institution. 

Was living in Austin when Ohio State came to play Texas. Went to sixth street the Friday night before the game. I’ll take some blame, but I wore my Michigan shirt, and their fanbase, notorious for traveling well, was legion and drunk. I had people shoulder check me a bunch, an old drunk guy spill my beer, then write LLLLLoyd in it before his son pulled him back, I was threatened a bunch, and then I went to a wings place, where I shared a table with two outstanding Buckeye fans, who were thoughtful, and complimentary about Michigan. The Daily Texan took out photo for the newspaper and cover photo but my Michigan shirt confused them I assume, so they went with another photo from the restaurant. All in all, crazy memory haha. 

Many, but let’s not start a thread that copies them

Last weekend while eating dinner downtown Indianapolis, a server mentioned how respectful Michigan / Iowa fans were. Mentioned that he's had several bad  encounters with Ohio state fans over the years. That's pretty embarrassing. 

Had my 6 month old Cadillac parked in ohio and had my car keyed because of my Michigan plates.  

Was at the 2019 game in Ann Arbor. The awful spray tanned orange Ohio females fans behind me cheered and celebrated openly when a Michigan player was injured. They were and are the fucking worst people in the universe. I’ve even had the opportunity to meet OSU grads who are normal and even they say OSU fans are the worst. Fuck em. 

Read an article recently about the Washington State U flag being mailed around the country for the last 20 years or so for College Game Day. They specifically mentioned Buckeye fans being abusive to the flag bearer. It’s not just us, they are nasty to everyone, and they revel in it.

The night of the 2012 Game, my son (then 2) tripped and fell into the corner of a wall, opening a gash in his forehead that required stitches. We were all still wearing our Michigan gear as we arrived at the ER. As my wife and I waited and tried to calm our very upset and bleeding child, a couple of the staff (you know, medical professionals) made cracks about what a bad day we were having. After the second one, while we waited for the doctor, I said “if I hear one more fucking Michigan joke tonight…” That’s when the doctor walked in and made one more fucking Michigan joke. 

As it turns out, I tend to internalize rage. My wife is a rather more verbal person. It always gives me a proud feeling to remember her ensuing tirade, delivered to the entire emergency room. 

It’s always amazing and disturbing to me how otherwise normal people lose all sense of right and wrong when they see maize and blue.
