I was looking forward to seeing OSU at PBS again. Oh, well...it's a good deal for UC and OSU gets another home game.

edit: would a mod mind correcting 'buy' to 'buys' in the thread title?

Of course that's because we're afraid of them and "want no part" of the program they're building.

I know you may find this hard to belive, but there are UC fans that truly believe that. I pointed out to a UC fan that OSU was playing at USC this year and asked him to reconsider his argument that OSU was afraid to play a game in it's own state at a venue that would be, at least, half Scarlet & Gray...? He had no response.

As a Diehard OSU fan and a UC almnus who does still root and contribute to his alma mater, I appologize for the morons on the fan site.

I have taken my young girls to OSU football games and I have taken them to UC games. the fan behavior at UC embarrasses me so. I even wrote the AD last year to complain about what my 8 year old had to see and hear. But, God bless her heart, she did ask on the drive home, "Dad, when can we go to Ohio State again?" (took her to her first game in 2003 and she's been pleading to go back).

"And you can spin it anyway you want as well, but until we do something more than justscare OSU acting like they are afraid of us isn't much more than wishfull thinking.

These aren't the actions of a school that is afraid of UC, these are the actions of a school that still considers UC a marginal program. "

A quote from that board posted above. True statement.

Personally, I would love to win this game by no less than 50 points. These pseudo-UC fans are embarrassing.

I particularly like all the, "we're a top 20 program" talk. One team's top 20 finish does NOT a top 20 program make. They're not a top 40 program.

After these games - I would never accomodate them by playing them in any sport ever again.
