One of my first interactions with OSU Fan

This story is lame as hell and you're a dumbass.  I'd fire your ass.  Please stay in Wisconsin.

First of all, here's a tip. Don't use phrases like "sucks to be you" in any exchange with a customer, a hated sports rival, or anybody else for that matter, unless you can pull off the comic delivery so that all recipients understand you're just joking. Otherwise it can fall flat and people can overreact, like numbnutz OSU fan did.

Here's a more typical OSU fan encounter.

I live in Southern California.  I was wearing my block "M" cap on a relatively empty beach in Newport Beach, CA on a Sunday morning following the horrific road loss to Illinois. Lo and behold a 40-something year old OSU fan stops building sand castles with his little kids and family, runs up to me quickly, just so he could say: "Nice coach you got there. What a bunch of losers!". Then he jogs right back to the gigantic hole he was digging in the beach.

"Nice coach?"

"Losers?"

I just smiled politely and kept walking the shore with my family. But it stuck with me the rest of the day. 

I wanted to snap his spine across my femur like a kindling, but I'm a Jedi and I refuse to use my powers for evil and the Dark Side .

But that's an OSU fan for you.  I think they have the patent.

work at the Jerk Store?

dreading being so close to the heart of darkness.  The Horror!  The Horror!

would have punched you out if you would have said this to him prior to 2004. Joke him if he can't take a fuck.

My friend (a UM alum) had a boss that was an OSU alum.  Every morning his Buckeye-boss would come in his office and say -- always in a loud obnoxious faux-celebatory manner --

"It's been One Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty-Seven days since Michigan beat Ohio State!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (And each day he'd add one day -- the energy to keep up must be exhausting)

Every day for almost a year.

He no longer works there (his choice)

That's a pretty dickish way to treat a customer.  There's ways to make friendly jokes, but you did a pretty miserable job.  Since your story irritated me, I'll point out that you forgot to put an article in front of "OSU fan".  Also, you mixed up the words "replayed" and "replied".  All of this makes me doubt that you actually have anything to do with the University of Michigan.

how to catch a predator ....

very interesting, though disgusting

for those of you who don't watch it, they basically trap internet pedophiles who try to have sex with little kids and then interview them live on camera ...

ive only watched once, but one of the guys they caught was proudly wearing his osu hat, my roomates and i ejoyed that

(note: in no way am i suggesting that all or even most osu fans are this way, just this one dude)

My personal favorite was being at a bar in Irving, TX the evening that OSU beat Texas and there's some chump with his gaudy OSU jacket on with his girlfriend and a load of her friends. He decides to smart off to a Texas fan at the bar by sarcastically showing him the "hook m horns" symbol and the Texas fan didn't even say a word he just jumped off of his stool, ran over and took a drunken swing at him of which the OSU guy dodged. To bad for the OSU guy that when he dodged the punch he neglected to protect his girlfriend who was right beside him. Yep, lights out lady. OSU fan runs out of the bar like a bitch and calls the police while the employees at the bar find a ride for the Texas fan and get him out of there before the cops show up. I couldn't stop laughing at this ridiculous scene as it unraveled before my eyes.

The MQ-1 Predator is a system, not just an aircraft. The fully operational system consists of four air vehicles (with sensors), a ground control station (GCS), and a Predator primary satellite link communication suite. The U.S. Air Force considers the Predator unmanned aircraft system (UAS) a "Tier II" vehicle.^[2]

The Predator system was initially designated the RQ-1 Predator. The "R" is the Department of Defense designation for reconnaissance and the "Q" refers to an unmanned aircraft system.^[3] The "1" describes it as being the first of a series of aircraft systems built for unmanned reconnaissance. Pre-production systems were designated as RQ-1A, while the RQ-1B (not to be confused with the RQ-1 Predator B, which became the MQ-9 Reaper) denotes the baseline production configuration. These are designations of the system as a unit. The actual aircraft themselves were designated RQ-1K for pre-production models, and RQ-1L for production models.^[4] In 2002, the USAF officially changed the designation to MQ-1 (the "M" designates multi-role) to reflect its growing use as an armed aircraft.^[5]

The RQ-1 Predator drone became the primary unmanned aerial vehicle used for offensive operations in Afghanistan and the Pakistani tribal areas. Its endurance is such that it can fly 400 nautical miles (740 km) to a target, loiter overhead for 14 hours, then return to its base. US generals testifying before the United States Congress in November–December 2009 about the new Afghanistan strategy declined to discuss the issue of Predator-launched missile strikes in public. The program was supposed to be classified. They discussed their appreciation for the intelligence and reconnaissance-gathering abilities of UAVs.^[6]

The last few days have seen one AIDS-infested thread after another. Has the summer heat caused our brains to rot? Are we suffering from a lack of sleep? Are we not drinking enough fluids? Is there a dementia pandemic? Yikes.

The MGoBoard is the new Scout Free Board, which was probably one of the worst things ever.

I'm starting to think that Michigan fandom is lightning rod for people who feel insecure with themselves. Who you root for/what school you went to/etc should not, reasonably, entitle you to a sense of superiority. To wit, a large percentage of OSU and U of M fans share the same demographic profile. Ohio, by almost every quantitative measure, is a more propserous state than Michigan. Based upon performance aggregates, the Ohio public school system (on the primary level) is significantly better than Michigan's

I want Michigan football to do well. I want them to beat OSU every year. I want the state of Michigan to return to economic prosperity. I'm reasonably vested in the state of Michigan and always will be. However, I can't disregard factual realities. That's the problem here - people believing what they want to believe instead of what factual, empirical reality tells them to believe.

Threads like this are masturbatory nonsense and, in their most essential form, demonstrate a lack of meaningful difference between OSU and U of M fans.
