Columbus is the Worst Place Ever...

Submitted by Michigan4ever on November 27th, 2019 at 1:04 PM

I have to be in Columbus, Oh to visit my wife’s family, but as soon as Friday rolls around I am out of here. This place is one of the Worst places in the world to live because of Ohio State University and what it has done to the psych of the people here. The freaking city buses say “Beat Xichigan” because they either can’t spell simple words properly or because they refuse to say the name of Michigan because of some stupid tradition. Their coaches won’t say “Michigan.” They will mark “X” on the “M” around town. They will teach there children to call horrible diseases or conditions like cancer “Michigan”. They will have a “Give Your Blue” homeless clothes drive where people will actually buy Michigan clothing and give it to the people sleeping on the streets of downtown Columbus. They will laugh in their hearts knowing that the only reason they gave those clothes was because of the idea of a homeless man being the only “Michigan fan” is some how funny to these sad and sadistic people. They are so proud, so arrogant, that their stench can be smelled well past Frank Rd and I-71... this place is the worst and I pray to God that this team will be humbled, because of these people....  

Michigan 49 - Ohio State 3... Amen

Next time you go back check out the Thurman Cafe and order a Thurmator, a side of onion rings and any craft beer and you'll find one spot in Columbus that's not too bad.

Quick Columbus story.  3 weeks ago we are driving through Columbus on our way to Pittsburgh.  My wife is driving and our Jeep has a UM license plate frame.  Some asshole starts tailgating us and honking.  It's about 10 am on a game day for O$U.  So he's flashing his lights and honking and flipping the bird.

I try to convince my wife to slam her brakes, because the spare tire on the back of the Jeep would cushion us but completely crumple the hood of his car.  She won't do it.

So this asshole speeds around us and then slams his brakes right in front of us.  Luckily we stopped short. 

Fucking d-bags.

I drive through Columbus a couple times a year to see my mother-in-law (who is now in Kentucky, but just south of the Ohio River a couple hours south of Columbus).

There's a section on I-71 just north of downtown Columbus that's three lanes. Inevitably I'll be driving along in the middle lane at a reasonable speed with no one in the left lane and cars entering the highway in the right lane. Some idiot will drive up behind me in the middle lane, decide to pass me on the right, and when they have to slow down because of the cars merging in the right lane they'll give me a dirty look. Even though the entire left lane is free.

I have Ontario plates and no bumper stickers so I don't get any other trash.

Wait is that true? city buses do this whole X thing...really? Childish. I mean coaches, fans doing it is one thing the public works is involved is a level of obsession. Goodness. 

Thank goodness I was not born anywhere close to that area or parents weren't OSU fans or whatever. Don't these guys have anything else to do other than obsess over Michigan? 

May be they want to have academic standards like Umich and are jealous...uh nevermind.

One of my best Michigan friends, and UM Alum says to me let's go to Columbus for the Game next year. Immediately I bring to his attention the fact that if you have anything on your car with Michigan on it and go to that game, I have heard of bricks and rocks being thrown through windows, cars keyed and tires slashed. If you wear Michigan gear and go to that game i have heard people get shit dumped on them. 

No Thanks. I don't see any reason to go there whatsoever. Sorry that our team has to play in that shithole. 

Go Blue!

I live here and wear Michigan gear on the regular.  It’s fine.  I get more “Go Blue” calls from fellow Michigan supporters I cross paths with than I do flack from Buckeye fans tbh.  It’s only bad on Campus in my experience and if you can handle people telling you to “fuck off” every once in a while you’ll survive.  I only go to campus for Michigan games any way.

They have some pretty good breweries, and now they have a hex I put under the mattress at a 4 star hotel on that ugly ugly campus.  I'll wait for the reveal.

 

Go Blue!

I was once in a bar in Columbus with my girlfriend. A drunk OSU fan called me a “goofy ass need” and proceeded to try and hump my girlfriend until we left. He stopped her on the way out and gave here a napkin that read “drop that zero and get with a hero, 614-233-xxxx”. I hate that place. To make matters worse, I’m pretty sure the skank called that loser.

Because his story isn't real and he Teo'd a female into it, I was speculating it was because he likes dudes more and Ohio seems like one of the last places that would keep them closeted.

But apparently you can "hate" everything about Ohio except for their potential bigotry, who knew?

Went to see UM/OSU play hockey outdoors in Cleveland several years ago. After the game we were in a bar and a Suckeye fan tried to throw up on my wife. Thankfully his buddy pulled him away and he threw up on the floor. Idiots.

I’ve lived in Columbus for about 8 years now and it’s a great place to live. If OSU could be taken away it would be even better. 
Had to have surgery yesterday at an OSU hospital. Better believe I went in with my Michigan sweatshirt.

I don't care about the whole city wide "Beat Xichigan" thing, in fact I wish we all could get behind beating OSU this week, you may dismiss it but players see that stuff all week and I'm sure they feed off it. 

That homeless thing though? Yeesh. Never would I ever give a homeless person something with OSU on it.
