PSU Fans,

After reading through this board, it's clear that your fan base hates OSU. Just out of curiosity why?
 
Simple.....we get hosed with blatantly wrong officiating calls EVERY time we play tOSU.....AND.....visiting PSU fans are treated worse in The Horseshoe than in any other conference venue.
Yes, on getting hosed with the calls. Completely unacceptable, biased officials.
No, in the treatment at the shoe. Rutgers owns that titled. Never have I seen such hate and vitriol spewed by a fan base at a visiting team as the like I witnessed and experienced at Rutgers. True bottom feeders!

I don't think we "hate" ohio state as much as you think we do. Ohio State is the top of the Big Ten and we compete for the same recruits, so we very much want to beat you and many would like to see you fall from atop the league standings, even if it's not at the hands of Penn State. Compare this to the "hate" that some Penn State fans have towards Pitt, I would say that Pitt is true hatred (from some) while with tOSU it's not really personal (for most)... just rooting against tOSU because they are the best in the league. There is also a feeling by Penn State fans and other fans in the league, that the league is out to protect the "big two and little eight" status, even though it would be big two and little twelve, actually. Because of this, I would say that everything else being equal, most fans of Big Ten teams other than Ohio State and Michigan will always root against Ohio State and Michigan.

Tennisbuck,
I live in a small town in NW Ohio that is split in the 50/40/10 range for O$/UM/Other schools. Come to town and ask for the Penn State fan, and likely you'll get three names, but of our 4,500 population, we have about a dozen Nittany Lion fans.
I would take up to much board space to give you all of my own personal stories as to why I refer to the school in Columbass as ohowihate.
I'll go back to Adam Telifaro's injury and the immediate pass at his back up while taking a knee by Cooper probably would have finished the game. I can't recall all the details. I greatly respect what the medical staff at the university did that day.
2005 when I sat in the most electric crowd I've ever been in, came back to my school to teach, and had a fellow teacher tell me - and I quote "if that game would have been played at a neutral site, we would have won. And, we have not played a night game all year." No congratulations or just shut his mouth; just excuses.
In the down years in the early 2000's, he would come in a meow on Monday mornings. Nice classy fan.
When Michigan beat PS 7 games in a row, UM fans offered encouragement, telling me to hang in there, they like PS and Joe Paterno. NEVER, EVER would an o$ fan offer any type of conversation close to that. NEVER. (and, if you reply, I know what you'll type, so save it).
Where do you want me to go with "Joe knew"? I won't even tread in those waters. But, trust me, I have reminded those ignorant-unable-to-read-facts-blowhards about the fact they told me EVERYONE WHO EVER WAS INVOLVED WITH THE PROGRAM KNEW, that Larry Johnson and Greg Schiano are now on your staff. I'll brag a bit here. I know Larry Johnson and talked to him after the sh*t storm hit. He said they all had no idea this was going on.

I have kept this reply short. I have not even touched on the officiating bias that goes back to Hank Zaborniak giving Hartsock the catch on o$'s drive. You know Hank, right? Two years ago I watched him received an award from OH HS FB coaches for his service as the OHSAA head of officials. Yep, guy lives in columbass, likely with great connections to the university, and officiates an ohowihate/Penn State game. Find the thread on this Board about history repeating itself. Good video for you to watch.

Your fan base is arrogant. You did not hang the moon. You have not cured cancer. Yet your fan base is obnoxious and not appreciated. This morning I was asked how I liked last night's game by a guy at Church. Told him I liked Herbstreit - you know the one who moved out of Columbass because he didn't smooch the butt of the athletic department and stayed neutral and the people of that fair city harassed him till he left - the o$ grad and letterman - yea, that Herbstreit. The person at Church says they should leave the penalty calling to the refs and just announce. When I suggested that he look at the multiple holding callls, he walked away. Arrogance. Ignorance.

Oh, and I'll take UM's band and fight song over your university's any day.

There, I have given you a Reader's Digest condensed version as to why I do not like 90% of your fan base. God Bless Artie Short, Glenn Badenhop and Jim and Jane Stevens. They graduated or are big supporters of that school in columbass and are friends of mine here in Archbold, OH who have class.

BTW, You coming on here and asking such a dumb question, speaks volumes about my arrogance/ignorance statement.

Glad you asked?

Speaking only for myself, I hate every other BigTen team equally with the exception of Rutgers who I hate more than all the rest. When another BigTen team, in any sport, plays outside the conference, I root against them, regardless of opponent. I despise this conference. The reasons for me, and others, have been stated here many times, so I will not repeat them now.

It's because someone like you comes here with a reasonable question and is shouted down and insulted showing how bad Buckeyes are. I guess.
 
Because they are O$U !!!!! People want to give their arrogant fans a crack in the mouth anytime they can. Any more dumb questions for this board ?

We may be arrogant, but not nearly as much as the three holier than thou schools who are bastions of academic superiority, do nothing wrong and do everything the 'right way'. And tell everyone they are at every chance - UM, ND, and PSU. And yet, there are skeletons lurking.

For me I can overlook the cheating under Tressel but the time Adam T was paralyzed at your place and OSU wanted more points coupled with Urban Meyer's need to destroy an undermanned sanctioned PSU team is enough for me.If I remember correctly he even challenged a 4th down play up 40. Seriously...........

because we have a good deal of insecure fans on this board with an inferiority complex. they like to generalize certain fanbases as "classless" and tosu is one of them. they dont seem to realize there are good and bad fans at all schools

There are good fans and bad fans but there's also a majority of fans and the majority of OSU fans are arrogant (much like the majority of Yankees fans). That's why way more teams than just Penn State hate OSU.

As an OSU fan I would agree. It's not just the arrogance of the fans, it's the hatred of the team. Continued success also brings on excuses like, "They cheat...", in order to fully define the evil empire.

This happens in every competitive environment. I see it in business, and I'm sure others have seen it in the courtroom, in Medicine, in education, and if you noticed, it gets mentioned time to time in politics.

Winners are more often than not looked upon as arrogant, cheating, lacking balance in life, and too focused on a win at all cost mentality.

How is it a reasonable question??? Don't you think it's strange to go to an opposing message board and essentially write, "I think OSU is awesome. Why don't any of you think so??" It's odd for the OP to be seeking validation here. Maybe he does it on every opposing message board. News flash for you. The entire world doesn't love OSU.

Probably one of the biggest things I hate about Ohio State is the fact that most of their fan base consists of bandwagoners that didn't even go there nor have any connection to the school. If you just live in Ohio I'll give you a pass since that's your state, but I can't stand that arrogant blowhards that talk smack about other schools yet didn't even go to OSU themselves. Other than that I'd say I dislike Michigan more, but neither is really a hatred, I'm one of the few PSU fans that actually roots for B1G teams to win in bowl games and that includes OSU

So do you believe Terell Pryor got no special benefits such as cash and cars to play there? Are you suggesting Maurice Clarett was a student athlete that was treated the same as any OSU student? Seriously?

How can you like any state that begins with a vowel and ends with a vowel (cricket, cricket)?!? Also, let me guess your favorite tennis player ... Kyrgios?
 
Hell, your band can't even spell out Ohio State! Ohio is a school in Athens, OH!

Does the Michigan State band spell out Michigan? I don't think so.

Arizona State's band spelling out Arizona? Washington State's band spelling out Washington or Oregon State's band spelling out Oregon? Haven't seen it.

The Kansas State band spelling out Kansas? Not in my lifetime.

Even if they live in Ohio that doesn't make it any better because there are a lot of other schools in Ohio, so why not root for the one that's in the area you live in? But they don't do that, they cheer for OSU because they win the most and that's the very definition of a bandwagon fan.

For me, it is that O$U is one of the poster children of what college football has become. Don't even pretend you have student-athletes and just win however you can by as many points as possible no matter how overmatched your opponent is. Basically it is lack of sportsmanship and not teaching the boys coming in how to become men of honor. Over signing, illegal benefits and "processing" are what now defines successful programs.

And O$U is far from the only school doing this. What sealed it for me was my nephew (a recent O$U graduate) confirming all of this by telling me the players are there for only one reason ... win games.
