OSU fans on our title game run

I would almost be disappointed if they weren’t pulling hard for Villanova. Rivalries are often zero sum games - especially now. Embrace the hate. Bathe in it.

But seeing these comments from Sparties and Buckeyes makes my day. The best ones so far is some clown tried to bash Our basketball team with App St last night. I mean Coach has them on the football attacks that’s how well they are doing. I wouldn’t cheer for Ohio St to win a blood drive versus N. Korea.

I want them to be disappointed when we win.

“To be clear, I hated almost everything about the Fab Five. Not this team or program. They play hard, smart, together (connected, as Holtmann would say), and most of all, prioritize the team’s play. I really view them as Michigan’s version of Tressel’s teams, so it’s hard not to like them.” One of the funniest things I’ve heard all week. Comparing Beilein to Tressel. Wow.

Yes, let's focus on what that fanbase thinks....

Until Harbaugh has Michigan playing in the national championship game.  Those Buckeyes will really freak out then.

couldn’t care less what those mouth breathing assholes think, but i really enjoyed the dumbfuck who doesn’t know the difference between ‘torture’ and ‘torcher’.

I think my favorite part is Fan A spelling torture, torcher.  GG OSU.

Who cares? We won the big ten tournament playing 4 days in a row. Neither of those teams did what Michigan did this year. The “draw” argument is weak sauce. Ignore them.

Dreaded double post.

lol, sorry couldn't keep a straight face.  OSU football team might all have impregnated some girl in an orgy and MSU is just a horrible institution.  agree w/ all the folks that don't care about our envious rivals' opinions.

What’s great about this is just confirming, once again, Ohio States obsession with Michigan. They can’t keep that word out of their mouths.

dumped their ass all season in hoops and most every other sport that requires the athlete to "play school". So how do you get an OSU graduate off your porch ? PAY HIM FOR THE PIZZA.

I hate everything about the state of Ohio and the Suckeyes. Go Blue!

So, tosu fans are rooting against UM ...

 

And this matters why?

Grand Rapids Community College ... but with the one major difference - Ohio high school kids automatically get into OSU whereby Michigan kids compete for a spot at GRCC. Let's get this done with now - OSU is about as sucky an academic institution as one can get versus the better Community Colleges in Michigan.

Yawn, bitter fanbases gonna bitter

Last night there was a strong bunch of "Loyola" fans at BW3. The week before they were Florida State fans and before that Houston, etc. I understand hating the rival but I would never go to a bar to openly cheer for MSU's opponents. They aren't just happy when the other team does well against Michigan. They hoot, yell, and clap on even small plays. It's psychotic.

If any OSU fan talks trash, I remind them every single UM alum could have attended OSU if they wanted to.

“It would be torcher watching them cut down the nets.”

Nailed it, dude. They at least tried to spell it phonetically, but apparently “torture” hasn’t showed up on his “Word of the Day” toilet paper yet.

to realize you're dealing with some of the dumbest fuckers in the world and it's not difficult to let it be. Picking on one entire side of the bracket as if the only teams in it were MI and the teams we played. Never mind both sides started with 32 and let the last team standing play off against the winner of the other bracket. Their attempted rationlization of the conference as a whole was ever worse. M is probably the fourth best team, yet won the fucking tourney and is is the NC and this proves nothing? Really laughing although shaking my head just as hard when explaining about why they didn't win it when they had a chance. I thought most of the bull shit I read on here was just that in regard to the intelligence of the OSU fan. Then I read this. Damn. That's a lot of OT for the folks. They could have spent it on something worthwhile. 

Was the guy complaining that they would have won if their shots had gone in...... Hahahahahaha!!!

To a person, they have been supportive of our run and great to talk to about the tournament.  A couple have been texting me during games and full-on rooting for us.

There are undesireables in every fan base.  It'd be great if we could show the same interpersonal respect that the players clearly do.

It has to grate on all of Michigan's enemies to see at an athletic program operate at a higher ethical level than them and still succeed.  They all lament how Michigan fan will be "insufferable" should be win tonight; while I think OSU and MSU fans are insufferable because they celebrate their own successes while turning a blind eye to all the ethical compromises they've made to achieve that success.

I suspect most of the country wants Michigan to lose. We're just one of those fanbases. Oh well, makes it more enjoyable if they win. If they don't, we'll take our lumps and life goes on.

I'm 100% pulling for Michigan tonight. Firstly, I genuinely like to see the Big Ten do well in these kinds of situations. Secondly, I have enjoyed the hell out of this Michigan team - no lottery picks but they play together so well as a team, defend like crazy, rebound the ball, and hustle constantly. Just really enjoy watching them play together. Gonna miss watching Mo and MAAR next year for sure.

As always, no fan base should judge another fan base based on a vocal minority. But I would also say that the OSU-Michigan rivalry feels toxic on all sides sometimes and I wish we could first see ourselves as a larger fraternity of people who enjoy sports and appreciate the game, and secondly as a friendly rivalry that never rises to the level of anger, rancor, and name-calling. Both sides are guilty of this, unfortunately.

Is it one who torches? A professional torch? Please help me.
