  1. I can see you and earache's (and i'm sure many other people) point of view on it.  I also think it's somewhat arguing semantics and taking things a little too literally considering what it is, which is harmless team spirit and pride for something they are a part, even if in the smallest of ways... whether it's because they're alumni, a resident of columbus, or ohio, or even because they have family that live in Ohio, or they live in a Big Ten college area, or whatever remote connection imaginable.  I don't think people are claiming any responsibility for the win, I think they're basking in the reflected glory.  We do it during Olympics, World Cups, or even something small like a family member graduating or getting married.  People get enthusiastic and proud for things that they had little to no impact on all the time, and being proud of your school making it to the finals despite many set backs is no different.

     

    Again, cranky old woman, but I've always just thought it was kinda weird... :p I also don't really get the importance that people place on sports.  I just remember my first quarter at OSU, OSU lost to Michigan and people's moods were effected. People were sulking and at least one of my teachers was visibly upset the monday after the game.

     

    Anyway, go bucks!  I hope we win!!!!! :o-h-i-o::ohio#1::ohiostate::banana:

  2. "We"?

    What position do you play?

    That always gets me a little bit when people are bragging about how good "we" did. I'm always thinking, I wonder if they think yelling at the tv from their sofaes them part of the team or something. I heard some lady at Kroger practically yelling about how "we" just won even though we had our 3rd string quarterback. I don't share the same sense of pride in a football win bc I know I have literally had nothing to do with it. On that note though, I do hope they win bc I dislike how bummed out people get when they lose. More than anything, I hope it's a good game. I appreciate the entertainment of watching a competitive game more than walking away with a win.

    Jbot, I'm getting cranky old man vibe from earache :) although it appears I'm also giving that same vibe off.

  3.  I learned a lot and we camped out a lot and even did a 5 day appalachian trail back packing trip.

    My mom put me in girl scouts at my request when I was little.  I was excited bc I had some friends in boy scouts and they did awesome stuff.  My troop (or whatever) sat around and did crafts and sang kumbaya.  I learned how to make a stamp out of a potato, very useful tool that has gotten me very far in life *so much sarcasm* 

  4. OK This is Rob. Remember how you followed me home after setting me up? Parking a block away in some ones driveway? You pulling a knife on me??? Me letting you into my garage after catching you snoooping around my garage and after the knife? Then me getting really pissed off about the whole thing and you running from me? I do! You posted all of my information on this site and I want it removed now! Who do I need to talk to??? I just found this whole thing out by going to drive over an hour away to pick up a cell phone on Craigslist. I get there, then they say sorry we cant sell to you go steal more bikes. Wtf??? So theres that and splattering my info. I needed the frame for a totaled project bike that took me 2 years to piece back together. I do not deserve this slander. I am a fellow enthusiast! 

    Hey, I removed your personal info. 

    Just so you know, this other dude hasn't logged on in over 2 years, so don't expect that he's going to come back in here to defend himself or give you any sort of an explanation. 

    If you plan to stick around, and for future reference, if you see a post that breaks the rules or you need to discuss with a moderator/admin, there's a button at the bottom of every post that says "Report" - click it, state your complaint, high five yourself for completing a task.
