Why do we have such a bad reputation?
I have posted a few "congrats on a great season and good luck"-type messages on ND boards. Each time, I have received responses from Domers saying that it is so rare to see class from Buckeye fans. My brother is an Northwestern grad who regularly attends games, and he insists OSU fans are the most obnoxious.
I would truly like to think we are better than our reputation. But I hate to say that there might be something to all the bad press we get. Comments? |

I say it's pathetic they say that as you can see how welcoming we are of them here on this board.

northwestern fans have never had anything to be obnoxious about... and would naturally hate OSU (notice how UM fans seem to be more passionate in their hatred of OSU now that they are often on the losing end). Notice how cryami is no longer the focal point of hatred from many buckeye fans b/c they are now irrelevant.
there are more OSU fans than any fanbase right now, save maybe Texas and USC. Therefore, there will be even more idiots due to sheer volume. Flamers are often what stick with people after reading posts from another fanbase.

With how many fans we have were always going to have a few bad apples. It just sucks that were judged by them and no the respectable ones

Actually I always thought that irrespective of their views against other fans, most Big 10 fans hate scUM more than Ohio State. I have heard quite a few times other big ten fans saying to me I hope you guys beat Michigan this year.

Well said. All it takes is one moronic Buckeye fan to venture on to another school's message board and the reputation for OSU is shot to hell. The law of numbers says that there will simply be more morons supporting OSU than other schools, so it all makes perfect sense.
