Mallard Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I always run into Buckeye fans. I've seen them while in an alley at a cafe in Rome, I've run into them in Finland and Sweden. Sunday I shouted O-H- across at the baggage claim in Nagoya (his wife just smiled and laughed, he couldn't hear me), and today at breakfast in Omihaciman there's another. Buckeye fans rule the world. GO BUCKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Have seen several this week. Saw one from across a large venue so I yelled OH twice, but I got an IO and then a Go Bucks as crowds of people looked as if we were crazy.

NWill Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 This happen to my friend and I on St. John as well. My buddy had his OSU hat on and the other group of guys on the "taxi" had OSU duffel bags. An awkward pause was followed by O-H from everyone at once lol. We ended up living a couple blocks away from each other on campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1647545523 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I used to spend a lot of time in the Charleston, SC area, and many of the people there are pretty sick of Buckeye fans. It seemed strange to me because Charleston is such a welcoming and gracious city. Talking with locals about it, it seemed that they really don't understand the boisterous sports enthusiasm. Bumper stickers: GO BUCKEYES! No, really, GO GBTO Go back to Ohio Leave your daughters and go back to Ohio This is from 2010: http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/charleston/ohioans-have-invaded-the-lowcountry-and-some-folks-wish-they-would-leave/Content?oid=1946300 I suspect there's more Buckeye Fever in Japan than in parts of the U.S. Edited August 4, 2012 by Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 So Ohioans abroad are really as obnoxious as the Texans (everyw)here? It seems that way. I'm all for cheering on your team and having a good time, but the last time the family was out for dinner at a nice restaurant there was a large group watching or keeping track of a game via cell phone. This table of 10 or so pretty much emptied the establishment with their constant screaming of O-H .. I-O all evening. The restaurant apologized as table after table left and they apologized for the group of screamers. I mean, sure if you are at a sports bar or something but this was a nice sit down restaurant with no TV's or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and it's SEC country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 No matter where I go in the world, I've never met sports fans as annoying as buckeye fans. I went down to Cabo a few years ago and some of the people I was with started yelling OH-IO in some small bar we went to. The bar tenders and everyone else were just like..."who are these obnoxious fucks?" Then of course some guy from Ohio came out of the woodwork and started talking to us. It's embarrassing to travel abroad with some Americans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 " I remember this time I was in ______ and these ______ fans of _______ team really were annoying" Hate to break it to you but you can pretty much fill in the blanks with any team from any sport. What about Cowboy fans? Yankee fans? Red Wing fans? Laker Fans? Duke Fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He calls himself a buckeye supporter instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 No you can't. No one is as annoying as buckeye fans. Scoccer fans? Their sex toy horn things from the world cup? I have been at a bar when scoccer game was on. Nothing better than some drunks trying to sing and yell. Please explain to me how this is any different than a OSU fan...

Nothing better than some drunks trying to sing and yell. Please explain to me how this is any different than a OSU fan... Well the horn you are referring to is called a vuvuzela, and that's not a soccer thing, it's a black South African thing, it's a traditional horn that they then started bringing to soccer games. It is a very annoying sound yes, and you and the world has only been introduced to it for the last 2 years, I grew up having to hear that shit. Drunks singing and yelling is a part of most football sports (Football aka soccer, American Football, Rugby Football), and it's usually fun but can sometimes be annoying too, sure. The problem with the OSU fan is their attitude. They don't realize that outside their little bubble that is central Ohio, people don't really give any fucks about Columbus, Ohio, OSU or their football team. They have their own sports teams that they like, but they typically aren't as arrogant and in your face about it as the typical buckeye fan. I have been around a lot of fans of different sports and different teams, never been annoyed by any of them, and I'm usually interested in what they have to say, with the exception for OSU fans.
