Even when they lost? Twice? 
I'll admit..OSU looked like crap when they played Illinois.

I'm not going to like, OSU didn't impress me hardly at all this year in any of their games....seems hard to do considering they won 11 of them.

Yeah . . . if you're ass hurt about an email forward talking about how rad football is at southern schools, then you're probably the person the email is intending to mock.
That's how it works - a couple of elderly USC fans told our tailgate at the Orange Bowl that my team's fans were "the worst fans we've ever seen" because "students were drinking and yelling and standing up for the entire game!" I mean . . . ever been to a football game? Apparently Pac 10 football includes much more civility than I realized. Someone, quick - get pissed about that and reference how the Rose Bowl is constantly sold out!
That's how it works - everyone makes fun of everyone else, chill out, everyone knows PSU packs Happy Valley or whatever. Jokes.
By the way - OSU fans were the nicest of any fans I've ever met as a visiting fan (full disclosure: we weren't in the student lots for tailgate, so keep that in mind) - and I don't particularly consider that a compliment, honestly.

LOL....there are no Student Lots at Ohio State during football games. Everyone walks because it's such a circus between the dorms/houses/apartments and the stadium.

Makes sense (well, it actually makes no sense, but it makes my experience understandable) - where the hell do students tailgate? I realize Columbus is a massive city, but even BC students find a spot . . .

Most "traditional" tailgating is done by alums, and this is very wide-spread from the Stadium, to West Campus and up through Battelle.
Lane Avenue is closed off a couple of hours prior to the game, and it becomes one big tail gate (somewhat of a street-fair). If you are over 21, you can get into the "Heineygate". Thousands attend The Skull Session (a pep rally with the team and TBDBITL) two-hours before game time). After that, everyone pours out into the area between St. John Arena and Ohio Stadium.
Students also attend "pre-games" which could be at a fraternity house, apartments, in a bar, or at a tent near the stadium sponsored by an organization. Keep in mind, many of the home games have a noon start time. During those games, students roll out of bed to attend the game, then hit High Street afterward.

OK, but the overwhelming majority of Big 10 games are at noon ET (11am Central for a good chunk of us), and students at most schools are out pregaming hours before (while still making it out to the bars) - not to hijack, I'm just curious (we stayed downtown in Columbus, and I really only saw bars and the lot we tailgated).

In the parking lots. I went to one OSU tailgate before and was not impressed. Then again, my frame of reference probably was a lot different from their norm.

I went up to OSU for the '05 Texas game and I agree with you. Incredibly nice. They were congratulating us after our win....truly remarkable. Kind of Twilight Zone-ish.
