"Worst State Ever" has spread...

Submitted by 03 Blue 07 on

Watching WVU- OSU basketball game, and during the intro, they showed the crowd at WVU, and one of the kids in their student section was wearing an MGoBlog "Worst State Ever" shirt. Awesome. Our "friends" from WVU may be misguided and scorned, but at least they, too, can agree that Ohio is, in fact, the worst state ever.

Also, this would lead me to believe that someone at WVU read/reads MGoBlog. Insert "West Virginia has the internet?" joke here _____.

When I moved here, the first person I met was a grad student who was dating her step-brother. In her defense, she had been dating him for five years. Both her mother and his father were widowed and had been introduced by the grad student and her boyfriend. The parents began dating and married two years later. After the grad student and her step-brother broke up. He moved home to live with his father. This was a weird situation for her.

I was sure Mississippi would be on the list of permissive states. I'm glad we're not.

I've had a long standing belief that West Virginia doesn't really exist. It's just an elaborate ruse by the wealthy to avoid paying taxes. They've built up this reputation for their state to be full of miners and yokels, neither of which pay too much in taxes as there isn't any money in being either. They created this fictitious place on the map by cutting out parts of 3-4 surrounding states and placed signs claiming you're entering or exiting the state within about 20 miles of each other. No one ever really meets anyone from West Virginia. They just meet people paid to say that.

The University is actually in a portion of western Virginia that's close enough for people to think the road signs are legitimate.

Wow, did Turner kill them down the stretch or what? In the last 5 minutes, he missed 4 of 5 free throws (including a front end of a 1-and-1, committed a turnover driving down the lane and forced an awful shot on the baseline. The only good thing he did down the stretch was the impressive rebound with about a minute and a half left. I don't know what was worse, his play down the stretch or Thad Matta's coaching.

I suggested this shirt to a friend of mine, who was looking for a shirt for her husband. They're from Georgia, and he had never been to Michigan till we went to a couple of games together. He wears it all the time.

I saw a girl wearing a Worst State Ever shirt but in different colors, and she said they (Wisconsin fans) had made it for an OSU football game.

I think that Wisconsin fans tend to make up imaginary rivalries with UM and OSU because they think they've been on the same level historically.
