This causes me to break out in hives for several reasons:

1. Marrying a Buckeye (Edit: it only makes me break out in hives, not Jim Brandstatter.)

2. Wagering to wear a TSIO shirt in the instance of a loss

3. Actually paying TSIO to rent a toilet for an hour

His "allegiance" is from his parents, who may or may not have actually gone to Michigan. Methinks the Dispatch was just blowing things out of proportion on a slow news day.

Are you kidding me?   Twenty years from now, after all his hopes and dreams have been smashed, there will be the Michigan-Ohio game.  Getting married is the equivilent to buying food on a credit card, it might feed you for a day but you pay for the rest of your life.  But Michigan-Ohio will always be there.

and then getting married in one and willing to wear red TP (NTTP) if your team loses?  What kind of fan is that.  I have one friend that's an OSU fan, but believe it or not, he's a rational, sane OSU fan.  Actually, he hates all the BS in college sports regardless of the program.  He is an engineer from Michigan Tech and his dad went to OSU and he was raised near Akron I think.

...8 years ago I married a buckeye, albeit a partially reformed one (got her masters at UM), from a whole family of useless nutz and it so ANGAR'd the football gods that we have not won against them since.

In my defense is the truism that 9 out of 10 women in the B1G are good looking, and the 10th goes to Michigan.  Meanwhile the talent level at those 'state' schools…

I'm a Michigan fan. Follow them more than any team out there, and expect to follow them all my life. My wife is from Ohio, and actually has brothers, sisters nephews and nieces who attended OSU.

My wife has come over from the dark side, and is now a Michigan fan. Having said that, it is interesting to ponder just what one would do to propose. There are many things I would never consider. However, kneeling in the horseshoe? If that's what it'd take, I'd have done it. Good luck and best wishes to this happy couple!

I'm assuming this johnson-less doucher will have to borrow some of HER guy friends to stand up for him at this bowlspray of a wedding. Where I come from, this crap would never happen.

Proposing to her at the Whoreshoe would immediately revoke not just a mancard.  It would follow that dude like hpv.  It would be the answer to every good point he ever makes in the future.  The punchline to every joke.  The final consideration after every argument.

He may as well convert to tsio now.  Hell, he may as well just giftwwrap his cash and prizes and present them as a wedding present.

How pissed would you be as the sister, who just had it broadcasted to the world that you failed part of a med school final?  I'm not in med school, so maybe this is common, but I'm betting she wasn't posting it on Facebook...

My gf in high school was born at the OSU hospital. She wasn't a fan of football or anything and was way too smart to even consider OSU to be an option. I remember for Christmas though she bought me a Michigan hat, sweetest present ever.

1.I couldn't marry a Buckeye. Besides, most people outside the US would ask why I would marry a chestnut. 

2. Wearing a Buckeye shirt would require me to be dead and therefore I am being forcibly dressed.

3. Plumbing is just making it to Columbus apparently. Does this mean that they can actually put ice in their coolers now?
