Funny Ohio FAIL

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

Apparently they forgot there is an M in the word team. You know, one of the first and biggest words on their little board.

I still heard it with a minute and a half or so remaining. We were inbounding the ball. It may have been when we ran the old school double pass to inbound. Regardless, I heard it. I understand that it is tradition but spelling 'ohio' portrays you as a simpleton. Then again so does forgetting an M in team. Kind of ruined what I am sure was, in their minds, a well organized and planned joke. OH-NO

I myself try not to get too into the calling schools different names or taking it way too far like OSU tried to do. But god, I can't help but laugh at stuff like this when it blows up in their face.... it looks like they really went for it and put in effort.. how do you miss the big giant M right in the first sentence? Maybe I do like these off the field things a bit more than I thought.

partially because the 'Ohio' thing got under their skin so much. This is just really unnecessary: "We hate Michigan so much that we're going to very clearly leave the 'M' out of everything. Can you imagine how angry Michigan fans will be that we don't use the letter 'M'?! We got em now!"

They actually showed clips of this sign during the game last night during some of the cutbacks from commercial breaks, and indeed, all I could ask myself is how a school could be so obsessed with another that they would omit a letter from the names of players on the roster. Worse, how could a team be so obsessed that they would abandon quality control in the attempt to make a joke and make such a glaring mistake?

There was something weirdly Pythonesque about the whole thing, reminscent of the one sketch where the guy couldn't say the letter "C".

Hilarious, really. But as for what I saw last night. Ohio looks rough. I was hoping for them to surprise state at the end of the year and help us get the title out right. They won't be surprising anyone shooting like that.

So your players can't represent their own families anymore because of your Urban's failed attempt at making it seem like he lives for this rivalry? I've brought it up before an ill do it again. When Urbz was taking a year did he said the only schools that could entice him to coach were Notre Dame, Ohio, and, you guessed it, Michigan.
