O......H......I.....O

It was the 1960s and i was watching college football on my first black and white television. This strange man was screaming at the men in the striped shirts about something he didnt like on the football field. He was quite an ugly man and i decided right there at the age of seven that i did not like him or his team. They won that game and i found out later much to my dissappointment that this team and its coach were usually quite successful. At the age of fourteen being much wiser and more refined in my sports tastes I continued to see not only this man but also noticed that there was always a loud and obnoxious band that played their fight song continuously throughtout their games. I hated that. At the age of eighteen i started college and baught tickets to see this team play my beloved school and was quite delighted when we upset their uppity loud mouthed asses. There were no band songs played that day and the old codger had long since passed on. Spending the rest of my time closely following college football and meeting with fans the additude from this school has always been a bit cocky and somewhat arrogant.. They always make sure you know who they are and where their from. The band is still LOUD and they wave their flag in your face whenever they score a touchdown on your field. They are the biggest RAH RAH school in the conference and much to there dissappointment they are STILL not kings of the conference. This past Saturday im watching football and this team is AGAIN honoring one of its coaches. A coach that cheated and was put on NCAA probation. The fans thunderously applauded the nerd in the sweater vest and celebrated like he was a war hero. I was sickened and weirded out at the same time. I quickly lightened up when i remembered the words of a former USC tailback when asked a question about this school. He calmly but quite fiercely said three words that say it all OHIO STATE SUCKS!
