OT: I got some mail from OSU today...

But by posting a picture demonstrating your object-burning prowess, you just doomed yourself to a flood of recruiting mail from MSU and West Virginia.

I got a letter from them a couple weeks back and was thinking of doing the same, but decided against it. Instead I decided to sell it to an owner of a tattoo parlor. Just seemed right.

one word for you- litterpan.

For research purposes, I need to go down to Columbus to look at some documents.  In exchange for a car, my friend is making me wear a Michigan shirt.  I might actually get burned as a person in response.

Also I remember this stage in my life.  I, for real, got one from Creighton that said "centrally located, a quick three hour flight from anywhere in the United States"

And finally, I love the fact that your username already has your UM graduation year in it.

you could have kept it. just in case you needed some you know..... toilet paper

I remember doing something very similar with a letter from OSU about 12 years ago, only I think I ripped it into tiny pieces before using it for kindling in the fireplace.  Still, it was just as enjoyable as it looks like it was for you.  I did end up at Michigan, thankfully, (LSA '04) but just purely for shits and giggles I did MSU's online application and recieved an acceptance letter and scholarship offer a week later.  I didn't go all pyro on that offer, but it def. made me laugh that I spent 10 minuets on an online application and it was enough to get such an offer from E. Lansing.

I did the same thing a couple of years ago when I was getting letters from them.

LMAOOOO.... MY SISTER GOT THIS LETTER TOO AND I DID THE EXACT SAME THING. thats awesome...GO BLUE!!!

All of my mgopoints.  I didnt work to hard for them so don't think it's THAT big of a deal.  Just don't blow them all in one night.

My friend got an email when she was a senior in high school from osu. It started out by saying "Dear First Name."

She goes to UoM now.

I'm a senior right now and any osu mail I get is saved up for the next bonfire.

A long time ago I was applying to instate public Universities.  My acceptance to MSU said "You are a Spartan!"  That simple statement made me drop them from further consideration.  Just did not seem like a statement to get excited about.   Kind of like "You have foot fungus!"

I got one too. I've been saving it because I'm trying to think of something extra special to do with it. Any ideas? Something more interesting than burning it. I was thinking tying it to a firework.

I just threw mine away :(

And I just laughed at MSU's letter.

It was my resident contract for next year for their internal medicine residency. I did not burn it, but I will continue to fight the good fight as a UM fan/OSU alum. It's a dangerous dance...mainly cause cows aren't agile

I got one of those when I was a junior in high school.  I sent it back return-to-sender, with an obviously polite, upstanding, handwritten note on the back of the envelope.

I got that same letter, it should be on its way to a landfill by now.

I got similar mailings from OSU when I was in the college application process, but the all-time kings of mailing overload, in my experience, was Ohio Wesleyan University.  I must have received at least 20 different postcards plus longer business envelope mailings from them about campus visit schedules and the like.  It got overwhelming after a while.

Being from Ohio I got about 50 postcards and letters from them. Each and every one of them found their way into a public toilet or urinal around Toledo.

looks like it says "See Ohio State this boring"
