THAT’S “OZZERELLA PIZZA” FOR YOU, tOSU FAN
Pizza chain Donatos is sponsoring a “No M” week in the leadup to the Ohio State/Michigan game. Customers are being asked to order without using Ms in their ordering, meaning loads of fun when the recently arrived refugee/asylee/immigrant taking your order has to ask you four times what the hell you’re saying because you needlessly drag an innocent letter into your hate-filled interstate rivalry with another football team. M never did anything to you but be M, assholes!
Given college students’ devotion to cheap, high-energy food like factory-made pizza, the promo makes sense, even if you really do get an air-horn in the face for using the letter M. (Perhaps this is just standard practice at Donatos: random air-horning of customers.) If it truly has caught on as much as promoters hoped, then Michigan fans can look forward to being called “otherfuckers” this weekend for a delightful change of pace from the usual.

71 - I totally agree
I’m as big an OSU fan as any but after you’ve been at Ohio State for more than a year its kind of annoying when you have to yell I-O back to all of the Freshman/Visiting fans who don’t actually go to OSU yelling O-H to everyone they see…
After the Michigan game last year most O-H’s got answered with a hearty “shut the f* up!” To make things worse, the house next door to us has been the playing the Buckeye Battle Cry on a loop for the past two days! I need to sleep damnit. GO BUCKS, but If you live at Lambda Chi Alpha house on 15th Ave shut the music off, douchebags.

You won’t find a bigger Buckeye fan than me and the amount of game coverage on BOTH major radio stations in Columbus (can you say 5 hour pre-game show?), as well as all the “Go Bucks” commercials and all the gimmicks like this get really old and annoying.

#50 I grew up on the left coast, went to grad school in Ohio and got my first teaching/coaching gig in Michigan. I couldn’t wait to get back to Cali, the first chance I got.
Columbus was actually a pretty nice place to live overall. Michigan was better but the left coast beats both by a mile. If you are happy there, great. Please stay. It has gotten too crowded out here as it is.

Sorry our big game is so annoying. It’s even worse living in Columbus and trying to watch the local news. Yeah, the fucking Michigan game is two days away. How about some news?

Defender of the West Dept:
Interesting commentary, if you can call it that, between Mid-Westerners, Southerners and Left Coasties.
All I can say is that a lot more of you Mid-Westerners end up on the West Coast and South than poeple from our areas end up on your part of the country.
And, the West tops the South. No armpit-type weather over here and more/better teeth.

zzgator,
Us midwesterners also love the hallow condescension from you southerners, so excuse us if we don’t mind annoying you. Oh, and fuck _ichigan

Sorry, Alabama/Auburn is still the greatest rivalry I’ve ever come to know. Hatred all the time, in every sport, not just one week a year. But what do I know - CBS picked up Kentucky/UT this year instead of the Iron Bowl.

God, this makes me sad to be a buckeye. And the commenters on this site as well. If you think Donato’s is the best pizza in Columbus, you need to leave the midwest. It’s by far the worst. Yea you might get 100 pepperoni’s, but they all suck. No crust so you have to eat 7 pizza’s to fill you up, and it’s the most expensive pizza joint around town.
And there will never be a unanimous greatest rivalry. I attend tOSU and I’ll be the first to tell you there’s nothing better than Army-Navy.

I really enjoy the pithy, nay, snarky comments around here…and really destest the tedious dissertations by distraught midwesterners.

If we are talking history, I’ll take the MVPs of the first 3 Super Bowls and the NFL MVPs from 1974 and 2005 plus four other Hall of Famers over all your OSU pros…
And it is not Bama’s fault that Auburn can’t contribute more than 1 MNC to the rivalry… but I’d take Auburn’s 1985 Heisman winner over all OSU and Michigan winners COMBINED …

Not that I want to make excuses for losses, because loss is a loss no matter what,but the Orange Bow loss to Michigan was a 1 point overtime loss and Alabama was not without Chris Samuels for that game either. For the most part, I consider the best of the SEC and the Big Ten evenly matched (I say most part well because you know) and a one point loss in overtime because of a missed extra point seems to bear that out.
Alabama-Minnesota. Again, I think Hoover High was fielding a better offense by that time. Spencer Pennington couldn’t throw a ball 10 yards. The leading rusher for the game was Keith Brown with 17 yards. Darby was pretty much hurt with a sports herni and limited. Aaron Johns was limited with an injury. And even with that half-retarded offense they almost pulled out a victory over Barber III and Maroney led Minnesota team (on the Gophers 15 yard line, down 20-16 with 1:30 to go before we turned it over on downs).
I will allow you to use the Ted Ginn injury as an excuse for your loss last season as well.

Well, justanotherbuckeye, as a white heterosexual Christian male, I’m making 50% more than an equally qualified female, I’ve never been pulled over by a cop because of my skin color, and I’m free to fuck just about any woman I want without having some preacher give me the old “Adam and Steve” lecture — so I guess when I hear people like you whine about how hard your life is, I just think you need to sack up and stop being such a pussy.

I assume that only in cum-stained Ohio libraries would it be an insult to be an other-fucker instead of a self-fucker.

@52 - Jeebus Cripes! I had no idea there were that many MNC’s floating around out there. I always wondered how Ga Tech claimed eleventy MNCs after they shared the title with Colorado in 1990. Looking through that list, you’d have to be a pretty shitty program to not have at least one MNC out of all those given out over the years.
According to this chart, Tech and Georgia will have a combined 11 MNC’s when they meet next week. Impressive, indeed!

I recall that ball sucking was not allowed on my last cross-country flight.
At least not in coach.

Yes, Doug, because that is what every while male desires…………….since when has the desire to be “not hated” been interpreted as “bow down”. I question your intelligence.

By your standards, this means we should all be glued to the set when Princeton plays Yale, as Princeton alone has more national championships than OSU/UM combined.
Of course not. You should dial up The Game on your satellite dish, as Harvard and Yale square off for sole possession of the Ivy title.
Inexplicably, however, “GameDay” will not be be broadcasting from New Haven.

Hey tafknatosu, since you said we shouldn’t let the facts get in our way, I thought I’d do a little fact checking of my own… and I question yours. You mentioned 18 national titles between Michigan and OSU, but I couldn’t find all of them. If the breakdown is 7 for OSU and 11 for UM, that would only work if you allow OSU to claim the 1970 title — which they do, even though Nebraska and Texas split the AP and UPI votes.
Here’s a link to the NCAA list of national champions: http://www.ncaa.org/champadmin/ia_football_past_champs.html
By your standards, this means we should all be glued to the set when Princeton plays Yale, as Princeton alone has more national championships than OSU/UM combined.
Also, your Heisman numbers don’t check out either. I count 7 for OSU (counting Archie Griffin twice) and 3 for Michigan. Last I checked, that equals 10, not 11.
I’m not saying these still aren’t impressive numbers (though they might be more impressive to my grandmother, who is 95 years old and wasn’t born when Michigan won half of their national championships), but if you want us to base our opinions on facts, it would be helpful if you could actually present facts.

Yes, pity poor justanotherbuckeye, as those pinko commies on the left coast cruelly refused to recognize his white-male superiority, shine his knob, and submit to his every whim. What hell that must have been for you!

#30,
I spent over six years on the left coast and happily moved back to the pasty midwest, it’s the whole, “I can afford a nice house, have a family that can expect a decent education, speaking english first, lack of hatred for the while male” thing about Middle America that get’s me everytime.
Once again, enjoy pinko-commie, just remember to suck my balls as you fly by.
