In Columbus? Yes, I agree. Never do that in Ohio. However, in LA, GA, CO, KS, etc. is it still "uncool?"

I got a few O-H in London when I was wearing my buckeye gear. Hyde park from a guy jogging. And had someone do a double take in a cave pub. He came back up and dropped the OH. My gf just shook her head because she knew what's up. It's cool.

FSU takes aim at former ACC Commissioner John Swofford in amended complaint

Florida State's attorneys have filed an amended complaint against the ACC, and they put former Commissioner John Swofford in crosshairs

Nearly two weeks after the Atlantic Coast Conference raised the stakes in its legal battle with Florida State University by filing an amended complaint in North Carolina Superior Court, the Seminoles fired back with a return volley Monday evening.

And it was a scorcher.

In a 59-page amended complaint for declaratory judgment — 21 pages longer than the original complaint Florida State filed in December — the university took sharp aim at former ACC Commissioner John Swofford for a number of allegedly self-serving actions it says cost member schools millions upon millions of dollars. FSU’s attorneys also rebutted several claims from, and questioned the legality of, the ACC’s complaint.

That allegation, which is raised repeatedly throughout the document, suggests that Swofford for years was acting in the best interests of his son, and his son’s employment with ACC television partner Raycom Sports, over the needs of the conference and its member schools.

The complaint contends that ACC schools have lost $82 million each year in revenue from their Tier II and Tier III media rights as a result of the conference’s sweetheart deal with Raycom, a regional sports network in Charlotte, N.C. (Tier II and Tier III rights typically refer to sporting events that are regional in interest, and not the types of marquee matchups desired by national networks.)

I doubt that Free Shoes has the following to get a private one school TV deal like Notre Dame has with NBC. So I'd like to know that if Free Shoes gets out of the ACC what conference do they expect to get into?
