Yelling at the michigan band... don't see what the issue is... they do it up there.
Carrying unopened beer cases around.... wtf is the issue.

I wasn't at the game in 02, but was in 04, and it was nothing like that video. I even rushed the field, and all they cared about was the goal posts. I just don't think this video is fair.

How is it not fair? The former vice president of OSU hired the camera crew. He didn't just do it arbitrarily. There must have been something that caused him to document this.

The video is fair, as history, but your summary isn't. A video from 2002, and ignoring the next 4 years, doesn't show something "creeping closer".

 
I have a ticket to this game as well...Michigan fan....but im probably not going but not because of that crap. I went to the Giants/Eagles game in September and im a Giants fan 🙂
 
Way to generalize. You catch a few bad things on film and suddenly it's the whole college and every fan of that college doing it. I'm certain Michigan fans go out and shake everyone's hands and buy them a cup of tea before and after games.
 
I guarantee you that if you followed enough fans of any team of any major sports rivalry, you could find just as bad and if not worse footage. This happens all the time, just because it was videotaped doesn't mean it doesn't happen at all schools. Fans heckling other schools' fans is nothing new at all.

Hell I've seen much worse at my alma mater: from whiskey bottles and golf balls thrown onto the field, to the Miami coach getting hit in the head with a trash can thrown from the upperdeck and fans trying to tip the ambulance he was in (1996), to people fighting in what was called "The Pit" (got rid of it in 1999) where kids got their heads split open with beer bottles and hospitalized, to State Troopers pepper spraying our marching band by accident after fans rushed the field, to bonfires that reached as high as the powerlines and when the firemen/cops came to put it out had beer bottles thrown at them, to refridgerators set on fire and thrown out of a house into the middle of a major intersection, to kegs being snuck into dorms through windows 4 stories up by rope, to couches and mattresses being burned on every street after a major win, and the list goes on and on and on. This is seriously chump change to what goes on at the real party schools.

No kidding.

Of course no one is going to condone the actions in that video; mpiits was just looking for an excuse to post 4 year old flamebait. :roll:
 
Yeah, because no Michigan fan has ever harrassed or assaulted an OSU fan when the game was played in Michigan.

News flash dumbarse; some college age kids are morons and will act without class. This is true regardless of the university.

I also absolutely love how you completely omit the fact that both the administration and the student body took it on themselves to ensure that the 2005 game was not a repeat of the 2002 incidents.

It's one thing to be a fan of your team and to participate in good-natured ribbing with fans of your rival. It's a completely different thing to be a jackarse about it. And yes, I'd say the same thing to an OSU fan who spoke about UM the way you speak about OSU.

Get over it.

WVU fans are dumbass, uneducated, thugs, so I wouldn't compare them to the rest of the nation. I've never seen such behavior on an SEC campus.

Translation: My campus was so freaking boring that I wish I went to a more exciting school with a fun and dangerous tradition of burning couches.

lol
what?
pretty sure OSU laid Texas out this year 😉
last year doesn't matter... teams will win some, and lose some.. texas had a good team this year and are beating everyone else, but couldn't handle what we brought to Texas 🙂
 
a lot changes in 4yrs.

Hollbrook, however you spell her name, has cleaned up gameday quite a bit.

It's a night and day difference.
 
Wait a minute here. You're actually implying that there is class somewhere within the native Ohio population? Well, perhaps somewhere in Ohio, but not in Dayton! 😉

For the record, I don't give a damn about college football, OSU or Michigan. I just can't stand living in this state!

That's because Dayton is a city and all cities suck. Go out into the wilderness, into the rural towns and the farm communities. That's where the good people are.

I was there in 2002 and I have NEVER seen anything that even comes close to comparing. There are about 70,000 students at tOSU. Another 400,000 fans come to campus that day. and it seems like everyone drinks and doesn't stop. By 9:00AM, you can't move anywhere on high street. 2004 was different, because a national title wasn't on the line.

If both teams are undefeated on NOV 18, forget about it. Gonna be the craziest thing you have ever seen. And win or lose, mark my word, riots will ensue.
