SIAP: Have PSU fans appropriated the "Worst State Ever" shirt?

Did anyone else see this? And the dude's wearing it to a game against Pitt? I'm so confused...

I live in CA and can attest to that, their rep precedes them here to many a fanbase.

You can also add TX to that list after the TX/OSU Fiesta Bowl in '09 and home/home series in '05/'06.

A friend of mine that lives in Austin is a UT alumnus and had a bunch of people at his house watching the Texas game. Most of the guests were also alumni or rabid UT fans. Some OSU highlight came up on TV and they all started recounting stories of BuckNut interactions from when they had traveled to Columbus for the away game of the series and/or the bowl game. UT fans I think tend toward the classier and more congenial side of the spectrum and I put them in the same category as Michigan or Nebraska fans. Their comments and stories regarding Buckeye fans were quite disparaging and continued for a while, as each person seemed to have multiple stories of low-browedness and classless, neanderthal-type behavior. At one point my friend tells everyone that Michigan fans call them "cooler-poopers" (yes, that was from me, although a few had witnessed it in 2005), at which point this woman blows up at them in a complete rage. It turns out that somebody brought a friend who was a huge OSU fan and she had been listening and building up steam until she heard "cooler-poopers" and blew her top. He said she came unhinged and went on a 2-3 minute tirade on how they were just jealous of Ohio State, called them all "complete pussies" (several times) and told them they would never win a national championship, before gathering her stuff and storming out. I doubt she could have done anything more, short of pooping in their cooler, to reinforce their low opinion of the Buckeyes. 

Go Bucks!

IIRC the best high school FB players from OH and PA play in a game every year... 

I’m sure that warrants a decent amount of hatred. 

That being said, fuck ‘em both.

EDIT: unless those players come to UM of course. The Founders Backwoods Bastard got me.

So sad that eternal homers like WD have to use what OSU "cares" about as the only criteria for a rivalry. It sure can't be about recent wins, because we'd be behind PSU, MSU and Iowa, in that regard.

I also find that their jerseys are eerily similar to ours. Solid color with a number on it? Hey Penn State: Stop stealing our stuff.

Maybe he's making a statement about the ongoing battle between MSU, OSU, and PSU to see which institution can enable the sexual violation of the most people.

Now, I do believe the OSU doc and Nassar were neck and neck in sheer quantity of victims, but Sandusky still takes the heinous cake as far as I'm concerned.

So hard to pick a "most heinous" between the sheer numbers of Nassar and level of CYA lying and cover up by MSU and the downright creepiness of Sandusky in a PSU facility shower and the level of blindness in rallying behind JoePa who so clearly enabled it. 

Call it a draw.

The enemy of my enemy?  Nope, fuck Penn State.

How come ND only gets a “to hell with Norte Dame”?  Almost seams classy compared to our response to the two State and one STAEE skoolz.

Because deep down, I think most people don't know why they hate ND other than Bo's saying. 

With the rape state universities, it's a little clearer.

Yeah, ND is an independent and makes shit up as they go along but people are also lying to themselves if they wouldn't support Michigan in exactly the same way if Michigan were independent.

I don't hate ND, I find it amusing when they fail the same way I find it amusing when the Toronto Maple Leafs fail, but otherwise I really don't give two sh*ts about them...which makes it even more annoying that there's people around the Michigan program who'd love to play them every year on their terms at any cost just because they feel that somehow affirms Michigan's status as an equal among college football royalty.

If there is one program that is closest in comparison to Michigan, it is Notre Dame. If one of us didn't exist the other would be an even bigger power because we are often recruiting the same kids to represent out program. The biggest difference is that ND thinks they are a superior academic school and have better traditions and then there is the whole regligious/moral superiority side of it. Whereas from Michigan's perspective we know they are completely wrong on all of those counts as we laugh at their funny little stadium.

Was white water drafting in West Virginia, local guide made jokes about Ohio. 

I'd be happy to see anyone wearing those shirts. 

Aside from Ceder Point I can't think of one redeeming quality about Ohio... Unless you want to count it is not home of Notre Dame Fig Things
