With Toledo making the trip to the ohio (state) saturday they will be hearing from what Rocket fans are there cheering TOL.....EDO, yes they cheer that like the o-h-i-o. Maybe they will realize how annoying they sound. I am a ut fan and this is a new (5 years) development that I find annoying. Somthing about ohio that makes people want to spell things out.
Prediction for this game- "closer than the experts think"
They Spell It Out...
Animals like those in Ohio
Animals like those in Ohio couldn't stand the aristocratic smell of Skoal, they only dip Rooster and Longhorn. Being a Michigan Man myself, I prefer Copenhagen... imported from Canada because they still use the wax&wood bottom, not this bullshit plastic.
Copenhagen wintergreen was
Copenhagen wintergreen was great when it first came out when they had it in the waxed cardboard/wood/whatever tin, but now that its in the plastic its just not the same. I had to go back to natural
You can buy them online from
You can buy them online from Canada, although it's pricey for most. Copenhagen is just too precious to give up to the plastic casing, definately worth the $11.75 per tin, and that's American! I've had less expensive caviar.
People in Ohio (that I know)
smoke cigarillos straight from the gas station. And they inhale [shudder].
Abort, Retry, Fail?
At least they aren't smoking

Well...
Have you ever met anyone from Ohio who doesn't need EVERYTHING spelled out for him (or her)?
new?? umm i'm a ut student
new?? umm i'm a ut student and I have been going to events since the chester taylor days.. TOL-EDO has been around forever, hell its at the end of the fight song. I'm hoping toledo catches ohio napping after their win vs the little sisters of the poor though. Go maize and blue and Go midnight blue and gold this weekend.
Touchdown Manningham! MICHIGAN WINS!
when i was there
the fight song ended t-o-l-e-d-o...TOLEDO.

maybe this has changed, haven't been to a game since 2005
UM vs osu 2011 bring your keys and make noise (get it keys!)
well I was making the point
well I was making the point of the spelling part.. but yeah it's apart of the game these days and we are kind of guilty as michigan fans too if you want to think about it. During tv breaks the cheerleaders come out with the signs and spell michigan so lets not bark up the tree.
Touchdown Manningham! MICHIGAN WINS!
Harvey
I remember it from the Harvey Knuckles days...
1981 NIT Tournament
Michigan 80 - Toledo 68
2nd Round, Ann Arbor, MI
Ann Arbor, MI - The Wolverines were looking for a little revenge against the Rockets, who had defeated them during the previous season, 67-64, in Centennial Hall. And Michigan would get that revenge with an 80-68 win over Toledo in the second round of the NIT at Crisler Arena.
The two teams played to a stalemate in the first half, heading to the locker room deadlocked at 40. The Rockets had pretty much held All-American Mike McGee in check, as the senior forward hit on just 3 of 9 from the field and was 1 of 2 from the line for seven points in the first half.
The Rockets' Harvey Knuckles was more than holding his own against the Big Ten's all-time leading scorer with 17 points and four rebounds in the first half.
McGee, however, proved to be too much for the Rockets as he hit 8 of 15 shots from the field in the second half and finished with 25 for the game. Guard Johnny Johnson also finished strong for the Wolverines with 22 points and four assists. Knuckles finished the game with 27 points and seven rebounds, while Mitch Adamek added 19 points and seven rebounds.
5 4 3 2 1 Touchdown!
Touchdown Billy Taylor!
Touchdown Billy Taylor!
Hmmm
I'm thinking
we need a dose of spelling corrections.
EDIT: Thank you for fixing it :)
"I'm here with my friend, the zombie, Johnathon. Michigan is in the Final Four for the first time in 20 years, what do you think?"
"I like turtles."
Minnesota also spells out
Minnesota also spells out M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A at the end of their fight song.
It takes forever, sounds kinda awkward and many people seem to get lost along the way.
CMU
CMU does this C... -H-I... -P-P... -E-W-A-S chant and the ellipses are the pauses, meaning they cram the last four letters in a Twista rap-like fashion. It is horrendous.
"And when we play as a team, when the old season is over, you and I know, it's gonna be Michigan again, Michigan."
F the chant
The most annoying thing Toledo can do is beat OSU. If they don't do that, I don't care what they chant.
if toledo wins we can use the
if toledo wins we can use the joke: the ohio michigan game got cancelled, osu couldn't get passed toledo.. /s .. ahhh fuck those ohio fans.. sorry bad memories and have lived around toledo so I get reminded of that game every day on campus. only thing worse was when I was down in North Carolina and missed the memo that app state is right next to greensboro.
Touchdown Manningham! MICHIGAN WINS!
Doesn't Illinois give them a
Doesn't Illinois give them a similar "dose of their own medicine" ("I-L-L . . . I-N-I") every time they play?
Huh? Michigan does the same...
I really don't understand what you're trying to get at. Most teams do this. Heck, even Michigan does this starting with "M" at the student section: M - I - C - H - I - G - A - N. Perhaps the cheerleaders have stopped doing this since I graduate in '03, but it was a pretty regular occurrence in the blow-out games. I do believe after saying it a few times, they go faster, and faster too.
They still do it
I know they do the M - I - C - H - I - G - A - N and go faster for the homecoming game called the M train, but it is rare and not somthing you hear all the time like every 5 seconds at ohio games.

I know I wasn't trying to ruffle feathers. I just saw how spelling things bothered the op and I was saying we do to and I like it. I mainly just hate Ohio but it's just a tradition so i won't bash on them to bad.

At OSU games
the dreaded O-H-I-O is far from the worst of the casual, non-insane fan's worries. Far more annoying is the fact that they play "Hell's Bells" before every opponent third down. I hope you like the recorded simulation of a bell setting the bleachers into resonant vibration. I only counted 4 or 5 O-H-I-O's last Saturday, and many, many Hell's Bells.
The worst aspect is that they play Seven Nation Army (yes, THAT Seven Nation Army) before OSU kickoffs. No wonder the Natty Lite-chugging future diabetics of Megacity One keep singing that garbage song all the time.

Hail To the Victors...In Ohio
Hell yes you do
It was one of the things that made me want to go to Toledo, besides the good Communications program. I loved when I would tell people I went to Toledo, (and still now) that unless they went to another MAC school, it registered positively. I have a sneaking suspicion that Toledo may be the most likely school in the nation to grab a random person's attention if they flip past the game on TV.
"Hmm... who's playing? Toledo? They're usually fun to watch!"

Who the heck schedules OSU and Boise back to back, with follow up games at Syracuse and Temple? That's two weeks of pain and two weeks of possibly not much easier.
I may find myself in the
I may find myself in the neighborhood for the Toledo game....
Ohio people
Why does it take two people to spell a word in the state of Ohio? I don't remember getting to have a friend help me during spelling bee's in elementary.
Harvey Knuckles
He was the man....I was partial to Ken Epperson though.

Spelling out Toledo is no big
Spelling out Toledo is no big deal, many schools do this.
I draw the line with spelling out Ohio for two reasons (1) its Ohio; (2) is the only school I know of whose fans are obsessive about spelling out their school (see their commercials as well as the people in Ohio who spelled it out with their deceased relative).

Toledo Fans should instead chant
"YOU'RE STUCK WITH US, YOU'RE STUCK WITH US, YOU FOUGHT FOR US AND NOW YOU'RE STUCK WITH USSSSS"

Do you guys realize that 50%
Do you guys realize that 50% or more of Toledo fans are HUGE Ohio State fans (with the other 50% being Michigan fans). I'd be suprised to see how many fans (that dont have kids/roomates/friends) on the Toledo football team are wearing Blue/Gold. The TOL-EDO wont be very loud on Saturday because a big chunk of the fanbase will be OH-IO-ing.
I'm a bowling green grad...when we played OSU each one of my roomates wore their buckeye garb for the game. And I don't remember cheering for my alma mater once last season during the Michigan game.
The only thing worse than an ignorant Buckeye fan? A delusional Penn State fan.

Ohio (YTO, wait, NTO? I'm confused), as in the Ohio RAWRcats, actually does the OH-IO chant IN THEIR FIGHT SONG.
I'm too busy to look it up, but I wonder if OSU stole it from them, since Ohio U is an older institute.
CoE Class of 2007
spelling out michigan
IIRC
when I was at school during the homecoming games when the welcome back the old cheerleaders, the ones from the 40s & 50s, the would do the Michigan locomotion cheer.
Basically it was spelling out Michigan a few times getting faster each time then shouting michigan michigan michigan at the end
.....lest they forget how to spell it at all. Even then, it may not be a totally effective method. I saw this thread and assumed it meant that OSU would be forced to eat Skoal before the game.
