STAY CLASSY, COLUMBUS.
We can't really decide whether to like or detest the composite figure that is the Ohio State fanbase. On one hand: rowdy, dedicated, and rude as hell, which plucks piano strings of emotions for a Florida fan whose own fans have thrown pee at opposing teams and have a reputation for being regal smartasses. On the other: beating up crippled people, posting comments of...well, doobiyus speellingg and gramer at a rate slightly higher than their regional rivals, and loving Cheatypants McSweatervest, whose we wouldn't trust to watch our bike for three seconds.
This sign posted on Deadspin gives us that exact sensation all in a single image:

We did, too. But does it make us hate or love the OSU fanbase? Oh, the ambiguity...

You should also add in there that the Ohio State student section at the Fiesta Bowl removed an entire portion of aluminum bench and sent it up the section “crowd surf” style

Nice job on the aluminum bench thing. I noticed this type of phenomena at the OSU/Mich. game in Ann Arbor one year. I don’t make a habit of going to Big Ten games, but apparently it’s fun to pass things to the top of the stadium and throw them over the edge whether it be someone’s hat, a ball, whatever. Interesting stuff.

Shoot, if I had to live in Ohio, I might be angry, bitter, and classless all the time too.
Saw it for myself at the Texas game in September. Unreal. The unofficial state motto is “f—- you”. If a tornado hit Lane Avenue, there would be millions of dollars worth of improvements. Hostile atmosphere before the game, near-riots afterward.
I work with a mild-mannered Buck fan from Kentucky, who has never lived one minute in Ohio. Even he gets angry and bitter talking about all the great Ohio recruits who turn their backs on the state to play elsewhere. “Damn traitors.”
It’s a shame too. Cool stadium. Great tradition. Woody left a hell of a legacy, in more ways than he realized.

Wow. Brutus. You sound like a reserve linebacker at Purdue. After reading your post, I’m curious what the “in” crowd was like for an osu grad.
Based on my experience with osu students the “in” crowd was an amalgum of people sort of like this, we’ll call him “Brad”:
Brad’s only dream was to make the varsity high school football team, and as a senior he finally made it as a 3rd string OL. He dated the fattest member of the flag corps, but told everyone he was dating the cheerleading captain. He clung to the varsity starters who only let him hang around because Brad would do anything they wanted. Brad derided the smart kids for being smart, the pretty girls who wouldn’t talk to him as sluts, and said that anyone who was having more fun than him “sucks donkey dick”. When he finally graduated high school, it was college or working at Arby’s. Unforunately Arby’s wasn’t hiring, so off to osu he went. Six years later, there he was, working at Arby’s after all.

I think the Larry Grant recruting saga sums it up best. After being denied acceptance to UF for failure to pass a basic math course, he declared that he was now leaning towards OSU.
I hope Mr. Grant takes comfort in the fact that every home game, he’ll be but one of a 100,000 other cretins, that never passed arithmetic 101.
Larry Grant on last weekend’s recruting visit:
“I’m leaving San Francisco at 6:00 am on Friday,” Grant said. “Ohio State said I’m commitable.”
Grant’s visit to Ohio State might be his last official visit.
“I still have a visit scheduled the next weekend to Oregon,” Grant said. "But as of right now Ohio State is No. 1. It could be even better depending on how this visit goes. There’s a chance I could commit.

Ohio State doesn’t require good board scores for acceptance. They require an extra chromosome. And AJ Hawk is Lattimer from “The Program”.

I would like to thank the pinchprick with the pretty sign for reminding us of the nocturnal habits of Whatsherface Quinn and AJ Hawk because I hadn’t heard.

The hatred is strong here. I saw a post that said something to the extent of “they think they’re great because they’ve had 1 good season”. Try 50-11 since Cheaty McSweatervest came along… including 4 straight bowl wins, 3 of which were BCS wins and a National Championship over a team with a 34 game win streak. And since when is Tressel a cheater?
Also I saw a post about how disgusted someone was with the clean up after our tailgates… Let me guess… you didn’t go to a football school… you sit at home and catch parts of games in between the sex and the city reruns you watch with you wife and step kids. Thats how all tailgate cleanups are dip$hit… disgusting messes are what happens after large events. I don’t care if its a concert or football game. Don’t try to single OSU out because you can’t come up with anything original enough to post. And that goes for all the academic cheapshots too…

Hey Dino,
I’m not sure where Evan (guy who made cleanup comment #13) went to school, but if your last posting was in anyway directed at UF fans, perhaps you should take a step back. Your own alum, scout team tackling dummy, Kirk Herbsteit, has gone on record numerous times proclaiming The Swamp as the loudest/rowdiest stadium in the country. This coming from somebody who would pick OSU in a “squeaker” over The Steelers. And let me save you some time over the fact that the decrepid shit box you call “The Horseshoe” seats more fans (convicts). Last time I checked noise affected the teams on the field, as opposed to gate counts.

5 coolers filled with human feces
There were only 4 1/2 full coolers. This was actually the Skyline Chili the Governor of Texas won from Bob Taft in their cutesy little publicity wager. He foisted it on the visiting Longhorn cheering section, who in turn (and wisely) left it behind.
The soiled pants were the result of the missing half-cooler load, which was presumably (and unwisely) consumed.

I admire your school pride… It takes alot to tell a boldface lie like that in front of all these people. The Swamp is a better stadium than the Horseshoe? I know most people here are biased but c’mon now… thats a bit much don’t you think. So what if your stadium is supposedly louder. What did was did Vince Young say immediately after the Rose Bowl? “Ohio Stadium is by far the most hostile place ive ever been in.” Yeah I know he didn’t play in The Marsh. That place shouldnt even be mentioned in the same book as The Shoe. The Shoe, The Rose Bowl, The Big House, and Notre Dame…. The Marsh defeintely doesnt look like anything special. Theres nothing historic, theres nothing architecturaly stunning, and its painted the most wrteched shade of orange. Say what you will about Ohio State fans, The Shoe is as classy and as good as it gets.

Jenna, What the hell is that supposed to mean? I read it in the newspaper where the person in charge of cleaning up after the game reported what they found. Here is another quote from an article about the same topic. “In addition to cans, red cups, and food containers, Wagner (director of roads and grounds for the department of physical facilities at OSU) said his team has repeatedly found beer bottles and coolers used as portable bathrooms.” And Philly Gator, I am actually a pre-med student at Notre Dame who ran into a lot of shit-head OSU fans at the Fiesta Bowl.

“Also I saw a post about how disgusted someone was with the clean up after our tailgates Let me guess you didnt go to a football school ”
Dino, Dino, Dino…I did go to a football school—ND. While the cleanup crew regularly found marshmallows, river trout, and the occaisional octopus or squid in the student section, I don’t think anyone has ever had to clean up COOLERS FULL OF SHIT out of ND stadium.
Well, perhaps in the visitors section—tOSU did come to visit in 1996.
The hilarious part in all this is how defensive Buckeyes get. No one’s hating on your team’s on the field performance in any of this—it’s your fans behaviour. “Oh yeah, well, we’re good, so fuck you!” doesn’t explain why you fling piss and shit on visiting fans or trash your own stadium with FECES. I didn’t hear about USC or Texas fans treating their own stadium that way on Gameday. This kind of thing seems to only happen in Columbus. For some reason you Buckeyes don’t understand the phrase “Don’t shit where you sleep…”

And for the ND guy… I wasn’t getting defensive about our fans behavior. I was getting defensive about the comments directed at our stadium. As far as our fans go… We do get crazy but just like academic improprieties and hundred dollar handshakes… It happens EVERYWHERE. I’ve made it a point to attend as many college games as I could in my young life and I’ve seen much worse than what goes on in Columbus on saturdays. Have you ever been to Wisconsin or Michigan? Also… don’t try to act like ND is exempt from bad behavior. When Reggie Bush danced into the endzone and posed for the fans did you see all the stuff come flying out of the stands? I’ve been to countless Ohio State games and I’ve never seen or heard of a player getting hit with anything. I’ve also never ever seen an opposing fan get beat up. So what if they get screamed at. Thats part of going to away games…. I’d be upset if i went to an away game and nobody called me and asshole and said they were gonna bang my girlfriend.

I never said ND fans were exempt from bad behavior (though consistently visiting fans have much better experiences at ND than anywhere else, from talking to them). However, I did say that we, like I would assume most places you’d consider the “college football experience”, don’t leave shit in coolers in our stands. Anyone here know of this happening at UT, Florida, Texas, USC, Oregon, Penn State, etc.? I’d love for you to be able to show me where it does. However, you can’t. Typical Buckeye response…“It [whether it is paying players, or taking dumps in colemans] happens everywhere else too, you just only hear about it here”. Now why might that be? Anti-Ohio bias, no doubt. Must have nothing to do with the fact that a small but extremely visible percentage of your fan base are complete troglodytes.

I went to OSU and have watched a lot of games in the ’shoe. I have also been to a lot of games in other stadiums and it is the same thing with one major difference – we have more people that show up to home football games. I heard it was over a million people for the Texas game, and usually a few hundred thousand for other games. If you tried to get that many people together for any event you are going to have a lot of a-holes, a lot of nice poeple, a lot of everything.
If you’ve ever spent a Monday (any non-football day) on campus, you would probably agree with most everyone that viits campus – it is an amazing place with first class facilities and people.
By the way I still hate Michigan.

Orson-
Six SEC titles in the last ten years? How do you figure?
’96 – Florida
’97 – Tennessee
’98 – Tennessee
’99 – Alabama
’00 – Florida
’01 – Louisiana State
’02 – Georgia
’03 – Louisiana State
’04 – Auburn
’05 – Georgia
I count 2.
Tosu fans -
I’ve witnessed Michigan-Ohio State in Ann Arbor.. and I’ll be there in Columbus this year. Though I do fear for my life (will be wearing blue), I’ll reserve judgement until that weekend.

Waaa waaaa waaaa. I helped make that sign, and anyone that doesn’t like it can cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it. The intention was not to get it on TV, but to piss you crybaby Notre Dame fans off. As for all of you whiners that can’t handle THE Ohio State University’s intensity and love for the game, please stay on your Ivey League campuses. We wouldn’t want to drop a row of bleachers on your delicate little virgin heads. AJ SOOOOOOOOOOO BANGS catholics. WE DON’T BRING IT WEAK! OSU, National Champs 2006, new stadium, same bowl game, Arizona Belongs to Columbus, I’ll be there, and I’m making ANOTHER offensive sign.

I like how it’s just one OSU fan being an ass, totally not taking himself seriously and making obviously offensive comments. Then you have everyone else, taking the high road, spell-checking their posts, saying things like “typical Buckeye fan, condoning incest and infanticide”, and recoiling in horror at the latest grotesque comment left by the asshole Brutus the Buckeye. Whatever, see you in Arizona.

I lived in Ohio for most of my life, sans a year in Michigan and two years now down here, but I’ve been to most of the great football towns and states. The comment earlier that “sure, OSU has its out-of-line idiot fans, but we also have knowledgeable, smart, passionate football fans” isn’t true, because I have never, in my many years of talking to football fans, met a smart OSU fan. I don’t even know that I’ve met a dumb but knowledgeable one.
What’s really amazing about idiot OSU fans is how few of them actually attended the university, not like that would help them be any less of an idiot.

What a broad, ignorant generalization. I’m pretty sure that’s statistically impossible. I don’t care how long you lived in Ohio Timmy, OSU fans are everywhere, as we proved at the National Championship game IN MIAMI.
“And now, coach, I’d like to present this trophy to you, to your team, AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE ALL OF OHIO.”
That was probably the loudest ANY stadium has every been in Florida, including the ugly ass UF stadium, and the noise was for an away team. Where’s YOUR passion Florida? Yet you have the nerve to sit at your computer and type that we’re not passionate and proud about the tradition that is Ohio State football, and that all Ohio State fans are stupid??? Wow you are a complete moron. The problem with you, Tim in Tampa, is that you just don’t get it, and neither do any of you other clueless people who have never been to an OSU home game.
So for all of you that talk shit about maybe the greatest football experience in the nation, please tell me what type of athletic, or otherwise commercial event, where over 100,000 people come together and don’t make a mess. I went to OSU for 4 years, attended every home game while I was there, and the mess was always cleaned up by the end of the next day. On top of that, most of the time it was cleaned before noon. That is a FACT.
In closing, we know that our behavior is less than that of a catholic school girl, and we like it that way. If you can’t talk a little trash you must not have a team good enough to do it for. Yeah, when we took that sign to the Fiesta Bowl we knew it was over the line, but it was no worse than network television shows with a TV-PG13 rating. I’m eating up the fact that it’s received so much attention, and how many crybabies are complaining about it. For every complaint we had at the game we had at least 10 people take photos and tell us it was awesome. Some of them were even Notre Dame fans who could take a joke.
Oh Timmy in Trashy Tampa, most people that lived in Ohio for most of their lives are cool, “SANS” your stupid ass. What kind of a fag uses sans, really.

That’s us, “dumb, not knowledgeable,” yet capable of researching actual facts rather than “derrr, I lived there, derrr, I went to a few football games.” Yeah Timmy, it must not be true cuz you said so. You are worthless.

And I fear that you are still too stupid to find it, so I’m gonna paste it in here. It’s gonna take a few posts though, so bear with me. I know it’s a big read, but your peanut brain can handle it …..

in response to a previous question about Galen Hall of Florida…..
Collegiate coaching
Hall served as Offensive Coordinator at the University of Oklahoma from 1966 to 1983. He would be hired as interim head football coach at the University of Florida four games into the 1984 season, following the removal of Charley Pell. Hall went on to win the remaining eight games on the 1984 schedule, winning what appeared to be the Gators’ first-ever Southeastern Conference football championship in November 1984. He was named the Associated Press Coach of the Year in that year and given the permanent position of head coach. However, the SEC would later strip Florida of the 1984 SEC title, following an investigation. In 1985, Hall’s Florida team would again finish with the best record in the SEC, but would not claim the conference title because of an NCAA probation.
The 1984 and 1985 seasons are remembered (along with the 1990 season), as “Best in the SEC” years for Gators football. However, Hall’s teams found it increasingly difficult competing under the burden of NCAA sanctions, despite typically strong defenses and the electrifying play of star running back Emmitt Smith (1987-1989). He was forced out in 1989 amidst yet another investigation of NCAA rule violations that would eventually lead to another probation for Florida football in 1990. He was 40-18-1 during his tenure at Florida.
