OT: I got some mail from OSU today...
As a junior in high school, I have recently been recieving lots of mail from colleges. I throw most of it out, but when I saw that I got mail from OSU I decided that it deserved special treatment.
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.
Does he have enough object-burning upside to make it at the next level? It can take the freshmen a while to adjust to the differences in the couch burning game, so he could have to take a redshirt this season.
Difference between living at home burning something and burning something in Morgantown or E. Lansing is that you can actually damage something in your home..
Not hard to burn stuff when they let you use gas..

We'd love to have you down here ;)
It actually is.
I like it.
Go Blue!
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.
All I got in the mail was a jury duty summons.
Did you burn it?
Nope. I have no sparty blood in me.
Can you be on the jury if you're being tried?
It is like chicken or the egg.
.....and if nothing else, so you can say, "I really don't see what the big deal is...."
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.

A couple years ago, I had a class for work in Columbus. I made sure I wore my MIchigan gear when I wasn't in the class. It was fun. Nothing came of it though.
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.

What is Hoke saying to the OP in this photo?? My guess:
"I LIKE WHAT YOU DID THERE!"
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"
