Eleven Warriors post on Hoke
Ramzy just put up an interesting piece on Hoke over at Eleven Warriors. He basically argues that the Hoke-led resurgance is good for The Game and that Buckeye fans shouldn't take pleasure in or hope for a repeat of the Rich Rod era. Not exactly an earth-shattering argument, I know, but interesting nonetheless. I generally enjoy reading Ramzy's perspective on The Game and Ohio State in general.
The comments are still pretty sparse, but I'm sure they'll fill up with plenty of Buckeye stereotype-reinforcing material in short order. Here's my favorite so far:
Beating AACC never gets old. Even during the Dick rod years it was fun. It was like watching the Keystone Cops play foozball. The "Ohio" thing is retarded on many levels and their troglodite fan base mimmicking it is retardeder. I hope John Simon wears Detards dreds on top of his helmet like a hat after skalping him this year. Flounder can have his one victory, I'm sure Urbz won't let him get another for some time.
That's three "retard" references, one penis reference, one "troglodite" [sic] reference, and one laughably contrived acronym, in case you're counting.
Hey, fans of Ann Arbor Community College, don't call us "Ohio," it's retarded and insulting!
Gotta love Cleveland State grads.
ur just being a pre-Madonna.
Both of you are acting like troglodites...
Morans.
Dumb Buckeyes. There spelling is not good.
As someone graduating with an M. A. from Cleveland State in 2 weeks this makes me sad.
That poster is the retardedest.
Love that he made up a word and called Michigan Ann Arbor Community College in the same post.
only lower life forms lack the initiativity to make up words and so limitify themselves.
no longer the first to mention this at this point, but:
"retardeder"
that is all.
it's kind of cute that they have their own blog.
Cute in the way that a Pug is cute. Cute because its so damn ugly.
Funny thing is you would never see a comment like that on this blog, all the jabs are witty and clever. At times people go too far, but its never this vulgar middle school-ish type. Shows the difference in character between people here and down there. However, good post by Ramzy, at least someone has some sense to em.
Yes, nobody ever trolls mgoblog.
The posts Ramzy writes and the comments on them often are perfectly representative of the divide between OSU alums and non-alums. Ramzy wrote a post that falls perfectly into the "gets it" category and two-thirds of the commenters go hurr durr.
the one-thirders call the 40%ers the 2%ers. as in "the 2%ers are what made herbie leave columbus" the one-thirders think they are in the majority. and they are decent non-delusional people for the most part.

I would never come on this blog and see something like Cindy Crosby because that is just too far below the intellegence of Michigan fans. We are far more clever than that and don't participate in this middle-school like name calling and such.
You can neg my ass off or send me to bolivian or whatever, but the selfrighteous hypocritical bs I hear from some posters on this blog makes me wonder where the vast difference between the two fans bases is, because it isn't always evident.
Making fun of the academics of a better school than your own doesn't work.
THIS!!
Then I realized he was being serious and spit coffee out my nose.
Take that scUM!!!
Broom, brmmmm, brmmm, brm.......
"Detard's" -- Jesus christ what a failed abortion.
At least 5 misspellings.
In my (admittedly limited) experience reading Eleven Warriors, they seem to be pretty reasonable. They have a clear bias, but that’s the point. You’ll definitely find some idiot posters who post the sort of drivel that you quoted, but you can find that here as well. The majority of comments there seem to agree with Ramzy, so the comment you quoted should not be taken as their consensus. EW is no RCMB.
Please tell me someone called that guy out on their board. I would hope that is too much even for them. There's really no word to describe all that is wrong with it.
For all intensive purposes, it doesn't matter. They don't know what it means anyway.
it always takes at least two of them to spell ohio...what did you expect?
OH-IO have to love public team spelling.
Spelling "State" so easy Sparty can do it.
I think that referring to a top-15 school as a community college would embarrass me. Also, I'll never understand why Ohio gets so angry when we refer to them as Ohio... What has their band been spelling out on the field ever since we taught them the trick? What do the armpit dwellers spell out with their arms as they cheer their team on? And why are they upset that we won't refer to them by name when they say "that school up north" and the like? Ah, Ohio...
Don't forget that they also play in Ohio Stadium and refer to themselves as "Ohio" in both of their fight songs.
can troglodite and retardeder be used in the same sentence.
Troglodyte... well isn't that the pot calling the kettle black.
I couldn't make it past the first few paragraphs.
"It's only been a year since Michigan hired Don Draper's corpulent doppelganger to resuscitate its foundering football program."
Not sure if serious. If so, http://www.thefreedictionary.com/foundering
it's a problem.
Our Founding fathers who art in Yost... hallowed by thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done.
I thought the article was actually well written and, although it seems obvious to most of us, it probably comes as a bit of a revelation to many on that blog... the idea of respecting what Hoke has done and that a strong Michigan program is good for Ohio.
But I'll wait to read the comments... would like to keep my lunch down for a bit longer.
If calling them Ohio is retarded what is "that school up north"?
Retardeder
Wouldn't "That school up north" refer to Toledo, since you would get to Toledo before getting to AA?
izn't their strong sewt eyether. Which begs the question, what would be?
I think it'd be Art 201: Expressing Yourself With Ink
You know, I know I should be used to it by now. But I'm always appalled at the number of childish insults people on 11 Warriors use for Hoke. Stuff like Jabba, "he hasn't beaten Meyer in anything....except an eating contest", just reading their boards is enough to make me want to smash my head in.
