![]() Orgy? Did I say orgy? Ohio State's former president Karen A. Holbrook may have "exaggerated" when she referred to OSU fans' behavior at games as being like a "drunken orgy." Holbrook made the remarks during a taped interview, whose really spicy bits are excerpted below: "When you win a game, you riot. When you lose a game, you riot. When spring comes, you riot. African-American Heritage Festival weekend, you riot," Holbrook said on the tape. "They think it's fun to flip cars, to really have absolute drunken orgies. … I don't want to be at a place that has this kind of culture as a norm." How would a reasonable, sensible OSU fan respond? By saying what others say: that this isn't the norm, that they mayhem is mild and strictly that of frisky youngsters enjoying a festive fall weekend. How would Subcommandante Wayne respond? Quote: "Fuck you, ladybitch." Tressel has been too entranced by the magical voice of Celine Dion to respond. Pinky, shminky. Erik Ainge has a broken pinky finger (that's a medical term, y'alls) but will start versus California on Saturday night anyway, according to Phil Fulmer, who remains very, very fat. Tennessee fans making the cross-continental trip may also enjoy the sight of hippies behind oddly permanent-looking fencing, designed to "protect" the protesters living in trees behind the stadium from...from Tennessee fans, we guess. Remember, Berkeley police: crossbows may be stored in carry-on baggage. Fencing won't protect them from that. It has holes in it. Mormonz r weerd! When football and Mormonism meet, mockery ensues! We'd rail about how anti-Mormonism is the last acceptable prejudice in this country, but frankly we can't care: they don't like profanity, caffeine, premarital sex, or alcohol, four things that gave us immense joy in life. Oh, except for anti-Spaniardism, right? Because those assholes blew up the Maine, and we will not rest until both Cuba and the Philippines are subdued! Never forget! The most productive running back in the country toils in obscurity in Chadron, Nebraska, and stands just 699 yards shy of breaking the all-time NCAA record. He's white, too--DUH DUH DAAAAAHHHHH!!!! (music of shocking surprise.) Oh, god, Vince, wait 'til we get on the field, ok?Burritos again, Vince? Vince Young knew how to lighten things up in the huddle, according to Limas Sweed. He'd do things like fart in the huddle. I was young, so I guess he could see in our eyes that maybe he needed to loosen things up." A legend in so many ways, that man. <!-- End content section --> |

No ruminations about Trautwein’s injury, the protector of Tebow’s blindside might be out for the year?
I would be concerned if Tebow actually had a blind side.

Hey, great, great, great blog. However, it was VY doing that in the huddle, not Colt.

Damn, that VY is magical. When the wife and I go for the two person huddle, my farts do not “loosen things up,” as I would hope. They have the opposite effect in fact.

Granted, the current record holder (RJ Bowers) is also white. And so’s the guy that HE took the record from (Brian Shay) DUH DUH DAAAAAHHHHH!!!! (music of shocking surprise.).

Karen Holbrook is singlehandidly the reason why I will never vote for a woman in any position of power. She is the bitch of bitches. You would “riot” too, if the day your new president came she outlawed grills under tents, open beer containers, set up a police substation in the middle of the tailgate, and tripled enforcement of bullshit open container laws. We have a tailgate spot on Lane avenue, and undercover cops routinely hop over our orange “privacy” fence and give open containers to 40-55 year old women, for drinking out of a can and not a red plastic cup. Cops also will bust an underager, then follow them back to their house, and bust the rest of the house, even if there is no one outside, they come in due to “reasonable suspiscion”.

Gerry #9 – Is “fun thirf” verbose for cunt? If so, I’d agree. MZone’s got a good write-up today on her latest antics as compared to her comments after the Michgan-tOSU game last year.

I was at the OSU/UM 2002 game. Holbrook oversold the sex and undersold the danger. Watching two women in Michigan gear take multiple elbows from random passers by in the games aftermath was truly sad. For those that don’t remember the Buckeyes won that game 13-9 on their way to the national title. These women were just trying to get toward their car and were not interacting in any way with the OSU fans. But numerous guys decked in OSU gear felt the need to beat on these Michigan fans for having the audacity to come and root for their team. Pathetic.

BTW the atmosphere around the 2006 UM/OSU game was much better. I don’t know if it had to do with Bo dying the previous day or the OSU fans now taking a victory over UM for granted, but it was not nearly as dangerous.

Too all Tennessee fans traveling to Berkley this weekend:

from the OSU orgy article:
“Seven thousand people flipped nine cars, burned them, kicked in windows of things,” Holbrook said on the videotape.
It took seven thousand people to flip nine cars? Kick it up a notch, people!

Re #12: It’s a shame that a person with Holbrook’s talent for spin isn’t involved with one of the Presidential campaigns.

RedDevilEA,
Yep it was 14-9 – my bad. And I got the sarcasm (even over the internet). Michigan’s first-half, red-zone production in that game still irks me to this day.

Favorite line from the OSU article on former President Ms. Holbrook:
“….by 8 a.m. there were people dead drunk “doing disgusting things, unbelievable things.”
Was that a compliment or an insult?

Sorry, Columbus isn’t a quaint college town, it’s a major city which garners a pro-like atmosphere. People from all over Ohio converge on the city for gameday, not just students and alumni; sometimes fans act up, thats why we have tons of police and security at the games.
If thats not your type of atmosphere fine, it’s cool. Go to Michigan and enjoy yourselves, I’m not going to bash your way of doing things. You centrainly have the right to think of your intistution as superior to ours for any number of reason s, but why not spend some time getting ready for football season? You guys have a legit top-5 team that might be able to us on the feild of all places!
That is unless you’re the UofM fan I saw, who was walking past an OSU fraternity house party last year, that was hit in the jacket by a gently lofted powdered doughnut.; who soon after ran shouting to a local cop with his arms flailing in the air, presumably hoping to press charges against his unknown attacker for committing such a heinous act. -Ha just my little stick-it-michigan anecdote.

But you can’t hold a student body responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn’t we blame the whole university system? And if the whole university system is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Karen – isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

Yeah, you caught me- A hillarious story which illustrates what many OSU fans think of our counterparts up north. Actually I didn’t witness much in the way of bad fan behavior that day last year. 2002 may have well have been a different story.
…WHO DELIVERED THE MEDICAL SCHOOL CADAVERS TO THE ALUMNI DINER? WHO DUMPED AN ENTIRE TRUCK LOAD OF FIZZIES INTO THE SWIM MEET? …every Holloween the trees are filled with underware, every spring the toilets explode… This is the year we grab the bull by the balls and KICK THOSE PUNKS OFF CAMPUS!

I was just saying I didn’t like her. Pre Holbrook=fun. Holbrook Era=Look at the 30 year old guys carry backbacks and running across the street through traffic to see if someone standing in their own yard is old enough to be holding a plastic cup with alcohol in it.
And yes, I’ll admit that OSU is absolutely out of control for the UM games. But Holbrook, stop bashing the instituion that gave you $800,000 a year and a 250,000 going away present because the alumni hated you for ruining a gameday atmosphere.
And by ruining, I don’t mean getting rid of riots, that needed to be done (even tho there was only 1), but the constant look over my shoulder, can I take a quick chug-o-beer without being in trouble.
Also, the police start to bring you downtown and you get to spend until “after the game” in the drunk tank. That ruins your day.

Bhors: The Columbus Police Department was way out of control way before Holbrook got there. I saw them whip out the batons and whail on folks at the slightest provocation. And I thought the guys with rifles on the stadium rim during games were just creepy. What were they going to do, start shooting if the crowd tried to take down the goalposts?
When I started at tOSU another recently arrived Californian pointed out that it wasn’t random chance that the Kent State shootings took place in Ohio. There was an initial wave of German immigrants that settled the place and a certain teutonic attitude for law and order still pervades there. When that attitude runs up against the inbreed Subcomandante Waynes who come flooding into Columbus on gameday, things get surreal.

i actually like the fact that holbrook cracked down on drinking in and around the stadium, but i’ve been on campus since 2003 and have seen exactly zero riots after football games.
yeah, there are drunks, and there are fires sometimes. guess what? it’s a city of 750,000+ that is basically run by college students during saturdays in the fall. karen holbrook, though she was able to improve OSU’s academic standing, just never understood the campus or the people. speaking as someone who’s met and talked to her a few times, you get the impression that her view of college is still firmly rooted in the tweed jacket wearing, brandy sipping 50’s.
