This is probably what you see when you're partying at the "O" or with some loser 18 year olds trying to act cool, but i'll be damned if this is the kind of reputation I let the school I love continue to have. USC fans should not be afraid to travel with their team and come to Columbus to cheer them on. Tressel laid down the law a few years back and the Ohio State fans have calmed it down since the 2005 season. You're too young to know, but when I was at Ohio State was when it was really bad. We have come a long way since the riots in 2002 and we're not going back.
If you think punching or throwing a beer can at an opposing fan is ok because they get a little boysterous, then you my friend, are not a Buckeye.

the reason I know this happens (unlike the fans here that are in such a denial about it) is because I have been the one pulling our idiot fans off of harmless opposing fans... so perhaps you should "sit down and shut up", or at least rethink that comment. I don't condone that behavior, and I do what I can (within reason) to prevent it. however, I am not their daddy, so I am not there to control everyone who happens to be at the same venue as I do's behavior. people are going to act how they want to act, and that is that. the best I can realistically do is help break it up if it happens, which I have always done (have even gotten hit in doing so).
your post is completely off base, as I don't condone, or appreciate this behavior by our fans. I am simply stating the facts, it's not like it's a big secret. as for your other "hero-ish" comments; sorry to break it to you, but you, or I, aren't going to make it stop.
and for the record, no, I don't party at the "O". I am 24, and have either partied at my place on campus (where I never saw a single fight), and I have partied at Little Bar/Lane bars, or Hineygate. these are the places where I have seen fights, usually between middle aged idiots who wants to be hardasses in front of their buddies, and "show their diehard love for the Buckeyes". so again, it wasn't the "punk ass 18 year olds", they are the ones who can behave themselves.
