OHIO STATE FANS BECOME SYMPATHETIC. LIGHTNING STRIKES UP.
Ohio State fans have achieved the impossible. Despite craving the taste of teargas from birth, allegedly beating up handicapped people, and entering each game with the homicidal zeal of an ultra-nationalist Spartak supporter armed with a Camelbak full of cut rate vodka distilled from radioactive Ukrainian produce, you have become an object of sympathy.
Mission accomplished, Penn State fans. You now have the mantle of playing the barbarians in Capital One commercials. You can even now crush that small businessmen smugly in the ads, too, you dicks. You never give him a chance.
THAT WAS THE SICKEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN! YOU ARE THE MAN! We’re shocked they didn’t fistpound and then immediately play tummysticks out of sheer excitement before watching Penn State die a slow, miserable death 37-17 to Ohio State. We commend the Florida legislature for their foresight in passing a bill to make firing your weapon under threat legal, as these people clearly would have been shot in response to the beer-pelting. (Remember: don’t tase me, bro! Shoot me. Tasing is for real bitches.)
Subcommandante Wayne says he thinks these guys are bitches and all, and he woulda laid down some asskick flooring free of charge, but the Grand Am was broken and he couldn’t get to the game, man.

Wow…just….wow. It frightens me to think that someone idiotic enough to videotape assault and battery and congratulate each other heartily for their energetic (if a bit poorly-aimed at times) efforts is enrolled at an institute of higher education. Good lord, please don’t let someone of that limited intellect be pre-med or something–I’d hate to think of someone with that poor of judgment and character advising anyone in life or death situations.
The University needs to do something about this, those guys need to be brought up on criminal charges, have the crap sued out of them (I wonder how PKA’s national office would like to see a copy of that….), and be forced to apologize to (god help me for saying this) tOSU. And their momma’s need to snatch them bald. (would be an improvement on the haircuts that I saw anyhow)

I think #40 says it best.
Is it wrong to suggest that maybe the guy did something offensive before the video starts?

Papa Lou BSU says:
Doesn’t matter, chicago. There is no justification for that.
(And upon further review, I realize the last line of my previous post could be misconstrued as turning the whole thing back on Ohio State fans. That was not my intent… I’m simply hoping that Ohio State fans will view this with the anger that I did, and take a step back and resolve to confront behavior like this when it happens in their own backyard. We desperately need a “teachable moment” here before some poor sap gets seriously injured or killed before or after a game for wearing the visitor’s colors…)

Yeah, and PIKE, Pi Kappa Alpha, was thrown off campus at Clemson for 5 years for, basically, conduct unbecoming.
They rechartered this past year with, I am guessing, a bunch of exchange students and the socially lowest of the low.
Anyway, often times a stereotype exists for a reason.

Tailgate Shogun says:
As a three time PSU grad, I hope the entire fraternity of idiots get kicked out of school tomorrow morning. Imbeciles like this are the worst.
I had no less than 12 OSU fans – who were complete strangers to me – drinking and eating for free at our tailgate. Who cares if someone comes in wearing a jersey from the other team? That’s going to make your team lose? Clearly, we did a fine job of losing no matter who was watching or what they were wearing.
And, who the hell wastes beer like that? Someone better go back and get the unopened ones and save them for later.

Call me crazy but why would you wear the opposing schools colors and walk around Frat Row? That’s just asking for trouble. The Bucks didn’t deserve that but maybe they could have avoided this?

Very similar incident happened at a high school game a long time ago….except the victim was drunk and started the shit, got punched, fell backwards and hit his head on the hitch and bumper on the pickup truck.
Died 3 days later from bleeding in the brain, all over some stupid smartmouthed comments..since all involved was underaged, the puncher got very little in the way of punishment…

stapler says:
guess a video like this gets all the sissies to crawl out of the woodwork. what kind of idiot wears opposing colors into a mob of drunk ass fans from the other school? Seriously, isn’t that in and of itself one of the stupidest things you can do?
And they got beer thrown on ‘em. who fucking gives a shit. the OSU guys were in no hurry to get out of there.
oh wait, wait. this is where I say something generic like “I am shocked and appalled by the classless act of this fanbase.”
please, we have really become a nation of whiners and sissies. yeah, lets kick this guy out of college, ruin his life, all for throwing beer on some people. Can you say “reactionary” You people need to apply for position of chief of police at Malibu.

TigerNacho says:
For the couple of folks who just HAD to take a crack at LSU –
LSU games and fans are chaotic, but it is a controlled chaos. Mostly self-policed. It’s the reason that hundreds of thousands of people can act up at at a South Louisiana Mardi Gras, with minimal criminal activity, but when they try to throw one in Philadelphia, riots break out.
Oh, and another thing. Down here, we don’t pelt you with beer cans. We dice you up into a nice sauce piquant.

Stapler, so you’d be there with the PIKErs? What happens when the OSU guy turns around and breaks one of their jaws? Y’all gonna gang stomp him?
But with a drunken mob, it’s all fun and games?

gerry dorsey says:
in your defense nacho, i find lsu fans to be more verbally abusive (and fucking annoying) than looking to do some dumb shit like this. i would say there is only a slightly greater chance of getting physically harmed at an lsu game than most any other major football school. and this is from an lsu hater who has made his fair share of trips to tiger stadium.

Why no Jerseys? says:
OK I am completely confused by the comments that you’re not suppose to wear jerseys to games. So 80% of NFL fans that go to games are losers? Go check out the crowd at a Colts or Steelers game, the entire crowd wears jerseys to the game. I think it’s cool as hell. What else are you suppose to wear? Just a shirt of the same colot….yeah that’s WAY cooler.

Touchdown74 and Stapler,
I’ve heard that argument before (why would you wear opponent’s colors in that crowd?), except the victims are female and they’re wearing short skirts or low-cut shirts.
That argument still doesn’t fly.

I’m not saying what the PSU fans did was right but at the end of the day who gives a damn. We’re going to charge this guy with a felony based on a damn youtube video? Do we know what the OSU people were doing beforehand? No. But that doesn’t prevent all of us from getting on our high horse and self appointing ourselves as judge, jury and executioner. “Oh I just emailed the PSU president about his video and I hope this guys life is ruined and blah blah blah.” These guys are a bunch of fuckin’ amateurs.

Brian says:
I’d say throwing projectiles at someone isn’t just “oh boys being boys.” Hurling insults is one thing, but hurling beer cans point blank. Shit, if a speeding tennis ball can sting imagine what a full beer will do. There is really no reason to resort that that level of piss poverty for any reason. Not in State College, Baton Rogue, or Malibu. Go eat some scrapple, losers.

TigerNacho says:
Thanks Dorsey. I’ll take verbally abusive and annoying anyday over violent and criminal. Hell, verbally abusive and annoying are two good adjectives for my dad and mom.
Don’t get me wrong – I understand our rep is a two-edge sword. We’re not necessarily against LSU haters thinking Tiger Stadium is a place at which they could be physically harmed. It’s all part of the mystique. It just hurts our feelings that people think we, as individuals, would actually hurt them. We’re an outgoing people.
Oh, and Fuck Bama.

Beardguy says:
Stapler, there’s a good reason why you throw that fuckstick out of college. If you can’t behave with the barest of human dignity, you have no business wasting the already strapped resources of the education system when there are others out there who would give an arm for your education. You don’t need a college education to act like a jackass, so why the hell is this guy wasting everyone’s time? Fuck him and the horse he rode in on. If he can’t see his way to act like a human fucking being, he doesn’t deserve to be at college. He deserves to be giving me my change at McFuckingDonalds for the rest of his life.

As a Michigan graduate who has traveled to at least half of Big Ten campuses for away games, I can say without hesitation that I feel no sympathy for these OSU fans. I have been on the end of and witness to far worse in Columbus (even avoiding such places as frats). Any fan traveling to Columbus can attest that the majority of OSU fans on Game Days are classless individuals. Please ask a Texas fan how their trip to Ohio went in 2005.

Clever Moniker says:
I agree with stapler, is a couple pelts of beer really such a horrific thing? It sure as hell makes for an interesting story later! Lets not hang these guys just yet. Stop being so sensitive. If that OSU victim would’ve beat the crap out of that last guy…all would have been settled and equilibrium would have been restored. Unfortunately, the OSU guy weighed his options and played conservative…much like Coach Tressel, actually.

Edsall & Raider Red, the only people that are allowed to wear jerseys are athletes, men up to age 20, and women up to age 25 (maybe 35 if they are petite and hot). It is an NCAA rule.

Clever moniker,
I agree they shouldn’t be thrown out of school. People are too quick to hand out harsh punishment and seem to forget they were young at one time and did stupid shit too.
But it shouldn’t be ignored either. Let them get up at 6AM for the next 4 Sundays and clean Beaver Stadium.

I hope the large population of fuckwads here in Columbus remember this video when PSU and the traveling fans come to the ‘Shoe next year. It is just a fucking game, so drink and make nice. Maybe a girlfriend swap or some group sex to promote good will is in order.
Another thing: Based on years of observation, I would say that over half of all frats and their members engage in some sort of homosexual experimentation while drinking cases of Keystone Light.
