OSU/UM Rivalry
 

If you are an Ohio State fan or a Michigan fan you'll enjoy the following. The brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha have been having an online war between OSU and UM for the past week or so. It's pretty funny.


I don't watch much college football, so I did a little research. Here is what I've gleaned from that research instead of fixing computer problems at work: A buckeye is a tree. Trees are rugged. They serve a purpose. They turn CO2 into O2. We can make paper out of them. We can burn them to make electricity or heat. Trees are made of wood, which is a great metaphor for the giant boner you get in the morning. Wolverines on the other hand, are dirty little woodland creatures. They have webbed toes just like inbred bumpkins from Appalachia. Basically they feed on carrion and eggs, the sort of catfish of the woods, if you will. And according to the Minnesota Zoo's website, Wolverines have "anal glands [that] can spray foul-smelling liquid." To me that sounds like a natural defense developed against the anal-rape of over-zealous UMich fans. Thus, I am left with no choice but to go against the grain of most of the house and cheer for Ohio. A state which otherwise sucks because people there can't drive for SHIT.GO BUCKEYES!


Response:
UMich is Gay Don't forget. . .trees just sit there and consume. That, and grass and "wetlands" make more O2 out of CO2 then trees. Wolverines, on the other hand, will kick your ass every day of the week, and twice on Saturday. I wouldn't fuck with one of those things. By the way, the Buckeye that OSU refers to is the nut from the tree. That's it. Not the whole tree. Just a nut. Little. Round. and POINTLESS. And you know what? Most football fans expel foul smelling gasses from their anus, so what the hell's the difference?


I'll post more as I get them :)

As far as I remember, since John Cooper's stint at OSU, most of the fans don't care if they finish 1-10 as long as that one win comes against Michigan.

I can't fathom a great rivalry like that. My HS didn't have football and SDSU isn't good enough to have a rival. We say it's BYU but they're out rival in OUR eyes. To BYU we're just that school who's ass they kick every year.

Florida v FSU, Oklahoma v Texas, Texas Tech v A&M (Which will be awesome with the smack that was run last year and in this year's media guide), all great rivalries.............

Ok State went I believe 3-9 or 3-10 last year. But since they beat Oklahoma it was considered a "successful" season.

It's a great rivalry... But I don't think there's anything like OU-Texas. The stadium is divided on the 50 yard line.. On one side that burnt orange looking color and on the other the Crimson and Cream. A really awesome environment and a great weekend to be in Dallas.

Texas A&M has one rival, t.u. ITTech is more like the whiny kid down the street that keeps trampling over your lawn after you repeatedly ask him not to.

The red raiders are more an annoyance then anything else, and are desperately trying to create a rivalry with ANYBODY, just to validate their place in the Big XII. Their actions last year(tearing down goalposts and ramming them into the A&M seating section IN THEIR OWN STADIUM) proves my point. A rival is someone who you have respect for, but still want to beat the pants off of. I have no respect for anything i've seen done by the matadors.

That being said, they do have scoreboard on us, but i expect that to change this year in Kyle Field. I can handle an occasional loss to Tech, but a loss to t.u. eats me up.

Well, I love what that article says in A&M's media guide, calling Tech fans "classless clowns".

The Big Game
 

A bunch of my girls and some brothers from Lambda Chi Alpha at Kettering University are coming down to Columbus for the big game. We just reserved some rooms a couple of nights ago. Anybody else heading that way?

Hineygate...here we come!!! 58 days, 2 hours, 21 minutes

You can't forget one of the best rivalries of all....Auburn vs Alabama!!

WAR EAGLE!!!:D

What about Colorado v. Nebraska or Florida v. FSU!

FSU has 2 huge rivals...Miami and UF.

The UF rivalry is definitely deeper, but I think with Spurrier gone it will be a littleless intense. We play in Miami this year, and if they stay number one, that game will be huge.

But have no fear...the 'Noles WILL win the National Championship this year! :D

Could be the survival of the least inept this year. And Colorado was supposed to be so good...

Y'all forget all about UGA-UF! It's kind of taken a back seat to Florida's other rivalries in the past few years, but it is very heated. We even play it in a nuetral place -- Jacksonville, FL. The stadium is divided in half, much like ktsnake mentioned above with the Texas vs. Oklahoma game. I have a feeling that the game this year will have more significance than those in the past few years... :)

We have a lot of rivalries, but I think most UGA fans would agree that Georgia Tech, Florida and Auburn are our most hated.

UGA vs. AU is the south's oldest rivalry. :)

Living in the heart of OSU country, I quickly learned that beating Michigan was the most important thing. I think beating IU is almost as important, but not quite. They take football VERY seriously around here, but basketball doesn't rate as highly as football. I'm definitely in the minority being a Kentucky fan, but that's okay as long as Kentucky keeps beating Louisville!

For you Florida State fans, how the heck did they LOSE last night? Darn it all, they were supposed to win that game!

Christin

Well it's about that time again!!

I'll be up in Ann Arbor tailgating this year. Anyone else going to be there??

I'll watch part of this game. Unfortunately, my girlfriend plays her senior flute recital that evening. You'd think she'd understand that I have priorities.. but no.

Kick her to the curb! Just kidding, lol. :)

Our allumni group (college, not Greek) is getting together to watch both the Ohio State/Michigan game and then the Ohio University/Miami game -- a fairly bitter rivalry in itself, with a few things in common -- not the least is which that Bo Schembechler coached both Miami and Michigan.

I certainly can't argue with his record, but he said a whole lot of very unsportsmanlike things at both schools.

i'm looking forward to that game!

i love the Miami-OU rivalry! the best part is the backstories, like how the Ou band is banned from appearing at Miami and vice-versa...they got into a fight or something maybe 20 years ago. It was a huge story last year in the Post as a precursor to the game.

It's really fun sititng in the OU section of the stadium during the game and hearing guys who are less than sober screaming "Our band can beat up your football team!"


anyway i have to say Go Buckeyes!!!!! for this weekend.

"Our band can beat up your football team!"

The team may need the help this year. It hasn't been much of a season for the Cats. Although they did win Homecoming when I was there!

The first time the Marching 110 (the modern day band) played at Miami for "Migration," I was the announcer.

The Miami fans threw raw eggs and empty wine bottles at the band at pre-game. One guy actually had to be seen by medical people after being hit in the face.

By halftime, the Miami fans were on their feet dancing with the OU Band. We were playing a rock show which included Aquarius and Let the Sunshine from Hair as the finale. It was an overcast day, and when the band got to Let the Sunshine, the clouds parted, and the sun shown through. I kid you not about that, either. When the Miami band came out and played "Mr. Touchdown, USA" (no, I'm not kidding about that), they were booed by their own fans. It was kind of akward for me up in the Miami Press Box.

That was 1968 or '69 when the Bobcats went to the Tangerine Bowl -- the same year that Coach Schembechler, after losing a really hard fought game to O.U. said -- and this is an actual quote -- "they can play football untill Hell freezes over at Ohio and never be champions." He took his sportsmanship to Michigan shortly after that. Both he and Woody Hayes, both legendary, coached at Miami.

Which partially explains my comment about him above. There's no excuse for that at the college level.

There is some question in my mind which came first: Muck Fiami or MucK Fishigan, but the two rivalries remain great ones.

edited to add:

My wife's apartment mate from her senior year at O.U. married a Miami grad, and they live here in Denver. He's a Deke. We have a great time at these alumni gatherings.

Kevin, is she a Floutist???


Hell Dude go for the Game!:)

No S E X that night, but get Prioitys strait now! Be Da Boss!:rolleyes: :( :eek: :o

Alabama - Auburn has been voted #1 football rivalry by Sports Illustrated on campus.

I'm off this saturday, so I'll try to catch the game.

GO BUCKEYES!!!!!

Michigan-Ohio St voted best rivalry in the ESPN classic end of century vote

While I suppose you could call Colorado one of Nebraska's biggest rivals...I go outside of the Big Twelve...
I hate hate hate University of Miami and Florida State with a passion. I guess it stems back to those bowl games ;)

Been to several Colorado/Nebraska games in both venues. Don't think Colorado will be much of a threat this year -- although they did have a good day against Oklahoma.

Flautist. yup.

I'm a violinist, so I already know what's in store for the relationship. She starts student teaching next year, so not only do I have to go to her college related concerts, I will now have to go and watch her students.

UM/OSU makes these rivalries look like the final game of Hoosiers.

There is a DJ in Detroit who made a song to the OSU fight song tune.. here are the lyrics (I'm doing the words when it was Woody Hayes as coach .. they change the one verse)

Liquidate Ohio State and turn the Buckeyes BLUE,
They've got a lot of cattle in Columbus, it looks just like a zoo!
Knock them off their ivory towers,
Send them crawling into the showers,
DOWN with Ohio State,
They're a know nothing party school!

They say the girls who go to OSU are husband hunting dames,
They dig the jocks that got the killer instinct,
Not the boys with brains.
At Columbus, you're way ahead,
With straight A's in Physical Ed,
Down with Ohio State, they're a know nothing party school.

Bust your butt for Woody,
Lose your gut for Woody,

Repeat :)

(No offense to any OSU folks out there.. it's just a really funny song!)
