OT: April Fools for Ohio State Fans
I found this was a good troll on Ohio State Fans. It was from Columbus Newspaper. It gave me good chuckle. :)

Ohio State University forced to abandon scarlet and gray
Isn't April 1 a state holiday in Ohio?
Isn't every day April 1st in Ohio???
I didn't realize today was also National Cooler Pooping Day.
I can now torture every Buckeye fan I know in perpetuity!
A better April fool's prank for both OSU and MSU fans would be for them to receive a thick envelope from Michigan admissions, only to have the letter inform them that they still didn't get in, along with maybe a Sears catalog.
Better yet an M Den catalog so they can now buy our JumpMan gear.
It's a pretty well-written article, really. Especially working in Gustave Ferbert. I wish the author would have left off the last line, though.
I just saw that on Yahoo's home page. It was obvious that it was an April Fool's joke after reading the title alone. But I imagine it went straight over their heads in Columbus.

Yup. First comment:
"Has anyone even HEARD of ice croquet? We've been these colors for years and it hasn't stopped them winning whatever that is. They did this out of spite. Pure and simple."
April fools on Sparty students, " Uof'M admissions apologize for rejection letters going out to wrong individuals. Please keep an eye out for your acceptance letter."

Meh. The trick with April Fool's is that it has to be mildly believable. Only an idiot would see this headline and think it is legit.
Otoh this is an Ohio paper...
Man, anyone who falls for anything on this day every year truly is a fool.

That was not and even the dumbest buckeye would figure it out before even reading the article.
You didn't look at the comments.
Just kidding, you can still be a potato.
Damn you, now everyone around me knows I'm not working because this made me audibly laugh.

Well, at least they are almost certain that the Buckeyes can steamroll people at ice croquet despite perhaps not even realizing that it is not among the varsity sports at OSU....neither do they seem to care in a fit of blind confidence.
And the endless spelling errors therein, it's pretty clear that you can't fix stupid, even in Ohio; but you sure can create a safe space for it out of a whole region of the country.
That was a pretty funny piece, credit where credit is due. Good to see that 11W doesn't have quite the monopoly on funny and entertaining writers in Columbus, Ohio.
I will now forever think of Ruby and Porpoise, and get a little chuckle every time.
better april fool's joke:
POTATO no longer a top job in Ohio.
I knew it was April Fools day joke right off the bat.
