Ah, but couldn't that be said about Michigan as well?  I presume Michigan are somewhat "prigs" about their football team, no?

 

Not on the order of OSU, no.

 

And you are originally from...? ;)

Don't knock Shalomar.  Jody Watley was FIZZZINE in her prime.

 

Neva that!!!  I live for Shalamar and Ms. Watley.  She is still turning it out!!!  I saw her in Brooklyn and in LA this year and I loved her on workout!!

 

She is still HOT HOT HOT!  I would do her!!

 

OSU 34 Michigan 17

 

BTW, they aren't allowing anyone to park between 11th and Norwich (between Summit and High) to discourage the temptation of flipping cars. Police will also be at every corner and an undercover arson team will be in the area. I see a lot of underage drinking arrest and that's about it..

don't have an open brew on lane avenue, the cops are gonna find ya

Michigan. But from what I've seen and heard in the last few days I can honestly say that I've never seen a Michigan grad (or undergrad) peeing their pants as hard as the average OSU football fan is right now.

 

And it's only Wednesday...

Gentlemen, the group's name is spelled Shalimar. It's sad that Ritzy Saltine the Cracker Queen is the one having to inform you.

 

 

Then again, the last time you saw any excitement from Michigan were the days of Desmond Howard and Charles Woodson.

 

So again, let the times roll on...

Thank you, Fergie.

nothing gets on my nerves worse than faux-elitism (even burning couches).

 

I am way too classy to burn a couch.

 

One of these days, Ethan, one of these days...

Actually my little Keebler Elf, its Shalamar

So uh...Go Spartans! (?)

Keebler Elf? Somebody wants to be banned permanently! :evil:

 

God, this thread is turning into Uncle Remus.

We'll at my height, everyone is sort of "elf-ish" to me.  It pains me to look down (my nose) so far! 8-)

 

....thats all

Michigan is a bunch of elitist pigs who live in a yuppie conservative city that pretends it's liberal. Oh, and Michigan Stadium is a major eye sore.

I have 2 extra tix if anyone wants to go?

 

$25 per ticket.

I'd sell them for at least $40..

Cincy-Rise, I am sure youre joking but the optimist in me has to make sure.

Well, then. It appears they have plenty in common with OSU.

 

Why so fighty?

This "poll" question is flawed.  Ohio State is not playing the entire State of Michigan.

 

Do they not teach the English language in Columbus? 

stanton for heisman.

Danin, seriously, shut up.  How can you come into a forum called UrbanOhio and trash osu fans over and over and over.  it would be like me coming in here and declaring my ultimate love for suburbia and going on to say how much cities suck.  And btw, that was the point to my post before to which you responded with something to the effect of "Read as: with us or against us."  That is obviously not what I said.  Didn't they teach you reading comprehension skills?

Wow.  Get a sense of humor.  Knocking OSU (as is my responsibility as a UM alumnus) does not equate with trashing my birthplace. 

 

Thanks for stepping up as Stereotypical Overly Sensitive Midwesterner, though!

 

 

 

Its funny, my birth certificate (from Trumbull Co.) doesn't have a space for "college you must root for". Nor do my tax returns from the city of Cleveland Heights.

^You may want to flip your forms over and look for the fine print.

 

Yup. Right there.

Dude, I am a 21 year old guy.  I have a hard enough time being sensitive (ask my x-girlfriends) let alone overly sensitive.  you have made 10+ comments dissin us.  one, fine...haha, two...haha.  But after while I had to react.  its not called being overly sensitive its called putting you in place. 

now you all be careful you dont slip and fall on the ocean of beer cans around the varsity club. you could hurt your coccyx like grandma did in napoleon dynamite. and no sofa burning. you be good. *wags finger*

 

Yeah, my parents put up a Michigan and Ohio State flag outside my old house in Avon Lake, OH.. I'm hoping the blue one gets vandalized.

Atlas, this whole thread is just talking smack.  If you feel the need to take smack talk seriously, may I suggest you're better off enjoying the many other threads UrbanOhio has to offer?

 

^I was being ironical...to be honest, though, I'd love to set a couch on fire - I'd imagine there's a pyromaniacal streak in everyone...

Like that avatar thread a couple months back?

 

Sheeeit.

Since there's 1.4MM more people in Ohio than in Michigan, the "Michigan fans in Ohio" side has a built-in advantage in that equation, so that'd be my guess...

 

But as a percentage?  I have no idea...

 

Michigan is split between two state schools to begin with so I doubt there'd be more OSU fans in Michigan than vice-versa.

That always begs the question is the Ohio State/Michigan rivalry a bigger deal in the state of Ohio or the state of Michigan??

 

I would say it is a much bigger deal in the state of Ohio, but I would guess that there are more Michigan fans throughout the country to even it all out.

Here's a question I've been begging to ask everyone- are there more Michigan fans in Ohio or more Ohio State fans in Michigan?

 

Coming from Toledo, it's pretty obvious where I rest on this one.

 

well considering half the state is busy drowning their sorrows with, go green, go white and booin Jon L. Smith.....

 

I mean half the state of Michigan is anti-UofM

 

(okay, maybe not technically half, but you get the idea)

however, I know I'm better than you.

Great piece from Slate.com about this very topic:

 

http://www.slate.com/id/2153915/?nav=tap3

 

I'm inclined to agree with the Michigan fan as to why Ohio State fans care so much about this game: "My second theory is that OSU, unlike most campuses, is located in a major city, one lacking in professional sports teams. Therefore, the whole city is wrapped up in Ohio State football, and you get a working-class fan base that's absent in most college towns. Professional sports fans tend to be angrier and drunker than college ones. (In my youth, I took many trips to watch the Detroit Tigers, and for a $4 bleacher seat you could watch not only the game but shirtless, mullet-wearing ruffians hurling racial insults at the other team's outfielders and, occasionally, beating the crap out of each other.)"

 

As a proud Ohioan, who, despite not currently living in the state has never changed his home of record (and therefore pays state income tax for reason only of loyalty), I don't feel that I need to apologize for the fact that I can't view Ohio State as "Ohio's team".  As I lifelong Cincinnatian, I see them as essentially a local Columbus team, and view their aggrandizing of the allegiance of the entire state as presumptuous.  As a Cincinnatian, I am indifferent (my self-worth is influenced by what the Reds and Bengals do, not the Buckeyes).  On top of that, my own experience leads me to lean more toward Michigan than Ohio State.  As a descendant on my mother's side from the gentry of Toledo, UM exerts a far greater pull; fond memories of childhood vacations in the Grand Traverse region (the pinkie on the mitten, as it were.  The state of Michigan is Ohio's playground, and is beautiful as such.); and time spent on the Ann Arbor campus with friends as opposed to zero time spent at Ohio State all add up to a greater affinity for Grande Azul.  Ohio State just simply doesn't exist in my Ohio experience (though the "OH, IO", call and response, which I've heard about, is awesome.)  In addition, I simply don't really care much about college football.

 

I will close with this: I've only started paying attention to college football because it is the primary obsession of my current co-workers.  And my current location has brought one passion in me to the fore- I HATE THE SEC.  These pricks down here think that they created and play the greatest football in the country, ignoring innumerable facts which I will not bother to list here that prove that the heart of American football is in the Midwest.  So I as much fun as our personal rivalries are, let's lay them aside when time comes to fight the real barbarians of the South.

^lol, I hope for your sake it isn't OSU v Florida in the championship... or you're co-workers will never leave you alone!

Lincoln,

 

I'm with you about the SEC. I lived in Memphis and Nashville for a few years. I never understood the strong regional rivalry that exists in the south. Upon moving to Nashville, I kind of cheered for UT because it was the local team. After watching the fans and listening to their hateful comments towards all things not SEC, I began to dislike all things SEC. By far, the most obnoxious fans I've ever come across.  Thank God I'm back home.

anyone on here beside me jump in mirror lake last night?  we osu folk are craaazy

^lol, I hope for your sake it isn't OSU v Florida in the championship... or you're co-workers will never leave you alone!

 

That's the thing. Georgia hates Tennessee. But if TN makes it to the national championship, they love TN and hate the non-SEC team. Oh, it was so glorious living in TN when OSU won the national championship.

 

What's funny is that I grew up a Notre Dame fan. Upon lowering myself to the south, I found myself rooting for OSU because of all the randomly-aimed negatively that the SEC fans spewed out towards anything Big Ten. Now I'm 50% ND, 50% OSU. And, I do have a soft spot in my heart for Michigan just because I'd find my self rooting for them when they'd play an SEC team in a bowl game.

 

(Maybe I ought to forward this to my psychoanalyst in prep for my next session. :) )

^My friend jumped in mirror lake. :]
