No hot water?

We turned off the hot water on Sparty after the game? And in 2008?
I don't know whether this is awesome or embarassing. Thoughts?

I think a better revenge would be to bottle up some of the anger of losing to little brother and come out and kick there ass in the next game.... rather than say... turning off the hot water.
October 9th, 2010 at 10:50 PM ^
I'm skeptical.
October 9th, 2010 at 10:52 PM ^
Maybe they took too long of showers and the hot water ran out. Used to happen at my house all the time when I was a kid.
October 9th, 2010 at 10:58 PM ^
Sounds a little fishy to me.
October 9th, 2010 at 10:59 PM ^
I don't care what Sparty claims they heard on the postgame show, the RCMB is the AJ Daulerio of message boards and about as reliable a source as the Chinese media on Tiananmen Square. I'll believe it when heard from somewhere that doesn't sound like a gurgling cesspool.

We were just being accommodating. The majority of their team is used to taking cold showers in jail.
October 9th, 2010 at 11:01 PM ^
But I'm not sure your source has the inside scoop, or is unbiased.
October 9th, 2010 at 11:03 PM ^
Hoping we didn't - we're better than that.
October 9th, 2010 at 11:09 PM ^
The water didnt get turned off....the same thing happened in 2000 when i played there with BGSU. The hot water ran out. Really, what would be gained by shuting off the hot water?
October 9th, 2010 at 11:30 PM ^
I think there's something in the NCAA rulebook that awards the home team 20 points for awesome shenanigans.
October 10th, 2010 at 12:17 AM ^
If only man....if only.
October 10th, 2010 at 12:30 AM ^
I've heard that in Columbus, back when Woody was there, they'd shut off the hot water. But that was in the team hotel, before the game.

from a tape of a Bob Ufer broadcast from the seventies.

More likely they couldn't figure out that the blue nozzle meant cold and the red one meant hot.
October 9th, 2010 at 11:18 PM ^
They don't just pipe in hot water to the stadium, and it would take a huge water heater to provide enough for two football teams. I would not be surprised in the least if it just ran out. No way do the facilities people put in the extra effort to turn off the hot water.

Dumb and if true the guy who did it should get fired. Its no worse then the bomb sniffing dogs at OSU a few years back.
October 10th, 2010 at 12:08 AM ^
That still curdles my blood.
October 10th, 2010 at 12:20 AM ^
Ok...i must have missed that one....what happened?
October 10th, 2010 at 1:22 AM ^
Before the 2004 game, our players were stopped before they entered the stadium and police dogs sniffed their bags. (Given the number of players on the travel team, this wasn't some two-minute delay.) Lloyd was not happy. Tressel claimed ignorance, and some OSU rep claimed that this was SOP, but reporters asked all the other teams that visited OSU that year and none had it happen to them.
October 10th, 2010 at 10:05 AM ^
SOP eh? Did they really think that not one reporterwould follow up one that. Just when i though id heard the dumbest thing someone involved with tOSU (fan, player or official) it always gets one uped...just wow.
October 11th, 2010 at 10:56 AM ^
Thats actually not entirely true. Every other team that played at Ohio Stadium in 2004 was subjected to the same search, however they were all told before hand that it was going to happen, and the other teams were allowed to be searched at their hotel, not right before entering the stadium.
October 11th, 2010 at 1:03 PM ^
The newspaper had asked all the ADs, and while some said it happened, other said that they never had any search at all, and certainly not like Michigan's was.
But it was ridiculous in any format.

Using cold water uses less energy, and cold water laundry is one way to be environmentally friendly. It only serves that taking cold showers amplifies this since the most water we use every day is when we shower. Also, people probably take quicker showers with cold water.

I'm sure that's all we were trying to do. They just misunderstood the motive. Besides, they kept chanting "Go Green" so we thought they wanted to help save the environment.
October 10th, 2010 at 12:43 AM ^
I do not trust the RCMB.

We should have turned the hot water off. The only thing worse than taking a cold shower is taking one with boiling hot water.
