You and a couple other guys use that same flawed logic as your excuse. I lived in Ohio, near Akron, my entire life up until 5 years ago when i had to move to Atlanta. It's amazing that you guys have met so many of these people and I have never met 1 that acts like that. Also, I have never seen people talk down to Akron. I am not saying none of this happens, but it certainly doesn't happen to the extreme you guys say it does, or I also would have seen it.
I don't doubt at all that if it happens to you it is because you initiate it.
2 things that you guys seem to never realize:
1-You are in Ohio. Of course there are a lot of OSU fans. If you were in Michigan, there would be a lot of Michigan fans. If you were in Iowa, there are a lot of Iowa fans. Wherever you are, the largest school is going to have the most fans. Every fan base has their share of idiot fans.
2-OSU has one of the largest alumni bases in the nation. You are going to run into OSU fans. Sorry. Your assumption that all OSU fans aren't OSU grads is very flawed.
I must be an Akron honk by some peoples definition here.
When I was a kid, I wore Akron grear, went to multiple Akron games every year and lived and died by Akron football.
My parents, non Akron grads, used to take me to those games. In your logic, we should never have gone and cheered because we weren't Akrong grads. But of course, not that I am an Akron grad, it is ok.
I don't really have a problem with you as you don't have to bash OSU and make up OSU bs like skippy and a few others do all the time. But the small penis syndrome really does get old.
