Doubling Down On Ohio

I don't really care what we call them as long as we beat them.

If we lost to Ohio U in football I feel it would be a little different. We beat Ohio, we have bragging rights this year, end of story.

Our nemisis: Ohio; The team we lost to in the tourney: The Bobcats.
BEAT OHIO!!!

We lost to OHIO(!!!) not Ohio

"If we beat Ohio in November (which I believe we will) this flippant"
Why does everyone find it neccessary to qualify that they think we'll beat Ohio next year? Shouldn't that be the default belief of every MGoUser?

I did not mean to sound less than certain we will win.
It that some sort of F1 hybrid cross between a rutting grouse and a drunken mouse?

I don't have to use a rusty, AIDS infested outhouse when I want to take a dump. You don't have to live in Columbus, OH.
Sounds like most of your aggravation could be avoided by simply moving to a cooler place (trust me, there are tons both here and abroad). Pretty sure we'll beat them a lot more times in your lifetime and they will beat us a lot more times as well. You can't control what happens, but you can control where you spend your time.

out Ohio you idiot.
boom!
Just remind them that THE Ohio University ended the season with a better winning percentage against us than Ohio did.
Giant wall of text is no bueno.
probably the dumbest thing I have ever read.
I don't mind OHIO but I hate Ohio.
We should do their chant at the next football game. That would be hilarious and also might get them to finally stop doing that annoying chant. If they don't know who they are, then they shouldn't be pissed at us for not caring.
I wonder if they will now change their famous band movement to "Script Ohio State"??
Perhaps they will change their O-H....I-O retort to Ohio....State.
I think this is hilarious that they don't like to be called what they call themselves...
I live right outside the 270 loop in Columbus. I love making fun of tresselgate, and the great Cooper Era to those fucktards. I dress my 4 year old son in Michigan attire whenever I can, and when people approach him at a meijer grocery store, they say hey little man go bucks, he calmy responds GO BLUE!
There is enjoyment in hearing the fucknuts cry whenever they fail. And you get that more when you live in Columbus.
Also if you get the chance tune in to 97.1 the fan between 3-5 and listen to common man and torg. Those guys are funny, because they really know not much at all, and constantly talk out their ass. You should see how they cream their pants talking bout Urban Liar.
There's two 97.1's. There's a 97.1 The Ticket, that's located in Detroit. That one features a lot of Sparties, and the afternoon show is Valenti/Foster
97.1 The Fan is located in Columbus, and is presumably what the first guy was referring to since their afternoon show is Common Man and the Torg
I live in Ohio and there is nothing worse to a buckeye fan then calling them Ohio. They absolutely hate it. It is almost like calling them the worst name in the book and it is really under their skin. A win this fall and it will be unbearable for them. Go Blue and Beat Ohio!!!!

Does our saying "Ohio" really bother them all that much? My impression was that they just thought it a bit odd. Of course there are lots of references to simply "Ohio" in the heart of Buckeye country. Why would it bother them all that much?
The more this stuff goes on, the more determined I am to get to the bottom of the historic origins of the use of the singular word "Ohio" in Michigan Football coach-speak. I don't think Brady Hoke invented it in 2011.
I said this in another thread, too, but we should stick with THE Ohio University for the Bobcats. Seems to me that it'll "double down" on the Buckeyes while showing proper respect for a team that defeated us.
agree. though I honestly dont see why they hate "Ohio" so much. It seems more disrespectful to other ohio schools really. But, I guess if it bugs em...

All of my family from Ohio who are Buckeyes have been referring to OSU as "Ohio" my entire life. They spell out script Ohio, not Ohio State, before every game and they chant o-h-i-o during Hang on Sloopy.
Are they really all that "butthurt" about it?
My guess is that the more Brady Hoke pushes on it, and the more the media plays it, and the more that bloggerati yelp about it, the more "butthurt" they get.
Your offhand comment that Ohioans have routinely (certainly not always) referred to OSU as "Ohio" just adds to my growing intrigue. And whether saying "Ohio" was an innocent, completely non-argumentative old habit of Schembechler's and Moeller's that Brady Hoke has continued, out of devotion to their legacy and habits. And it has now "morphed" into a kind of epithet, thanks to the fetishism of fans in the internet age. ?
