Why are OSU students so disrespectful?

To both sides it is like a war, but it is much more intense in regards to the OSU fans.  They can be very rude and disrespectful not only in Columbus but all over the state of Ohio. These immature and vulgar fans carry an animosity towards not only the University of Michigan but the entire state and it's populus as well. \n\n I wore my Michigan sweatshirt one time when we had to stay in Dayton and we ate in a restaurant near the hotel and everyone was glaring hatefully at me and I could hear "f***king Michigan people."  As I passed.  I was just 10 at the time.  Yeah, very classy.  Needless to say I didn't eat my dinner for fear they put something in it.  \n\n I have seen people with OSU sweatshirts in Michigan and I don't say anything.  I refuse to stoop to such an asinine level as that.  I don't need to break into a fit worthy of someone with Tourette's to show my support for my team by trashing another's. \n\nOSU is a very good football team.  But Michigan is a good team, too.  Their offense doesn't score as much, but they play a different style.  It's a possession type of style.  With drives lasting 5-8 minutes.  You don't usually score a lot of points that way, but your opponent gets less time to work with.  A great bonus to winning a game.  And the Michigan defense is very aggressive and very physical.  They are leaner and faster.   I am a Michigan fan and do believe they will win because it's been a while and almost no sportscaster is picking them to win.  I love my team being the underdog.  \n\nNow, if you want some proof as to OSU fan bad behavior read this article from today's Detriot News:\n\nBehind enemy lines\n\nU-M fans find it's not easy living in Columbus\n\nFrancis X. Donnelly / The Detroit News\n\n\nMichigan fans will be attending a football game Saturday or a mugging.\n\nAn Ohio State administrator wrote a column in the school paper Wednesday asking students not to assault Michiganians, vandalize cars, set fires or riot like they did the last time their school played in such a big game.\n\nIf Ohio's version of Baghdad is this difficult to visit for a few hours, what about Michigan fans who have to live here year-round?\n\nThey say the abuse is constant, has grown worse this year and won't peak until game time. In other words, players shouldn't be the only ones wearing helmets for protection this weekend.\n\n"They almost hate Michigan more than they like Ohio State," said Matt Stout, 35, a Columbus attorney whose "GOMBLUE" license plate was once folded in half by vandals.\n\nA tour of the sprawling Ohio State campus this week found that the tame anti-Michigan T-shirts offered by bookstores are easily outsold by the profanity-laced ones hawked by sidewalk vendors.\n\nA pep rally Monday ended with a song that sounded sweet until one made out the words: "We don't give a d---n about the whole state of Michigan ..."\n\nThe city and school announced they're removing the things that students set ablaze after the Michigan game in 2002 and after a Texas game in September: full garbage bins, front porch couches and cars.\n\nIt sounded like they were stripping a criminal of his weapons.\n\nOSU: Mind your P's and Q's\n\nBeat Michigan Week kicked off with a press conference as school and city officials implored students to behave themselves.\n\nIt used to be called Michigan Week but the school added "Beat," as in "defeat," not "strike repeatedly."\n\nMichigan fans planning to attend the Ohio State game in this football-crazed city received a school e-mail warning them about traveling alone, calling attention to themselves or driving cars with Michigan license plates.\n\nBut Ohio State's student Sportsmanship Council, which was restarted last year, is encouraging good behavior with newspaper ads, posters, banners, billboards and public service announcements on TV and radio.\n

becuz they are really still school boys and have no respect for him as he is fat and as asthma. they have miraculously (for them) escaped adult authority and they dont really want him to be an adult as that means rules etc. he also seems to be of a lower class than them, judging by his grammer, and this is just another reason to disrespect him\nthis is my opinion on your question lol

Unless you live in South Bend I don't know how you couldn't hate them. During last season all you heard was about fata$$ Charlie Weiss taking Quinn and how great they would be together. And then they got the BCS bowl bid over Oregon which was complete BS since Oregon was ranked higher than Notre Dame. Oregon might have given Ohio State some competition. Haha. \n\nAnd don't even get me started on that SheMale Jeff Samardzija....

Look hon, what they are saying is just ridiculous, honestly they are just jealous because you are smarter than they are.....the fact that you are smarter is not something to be ashamed of, for now, it may make it difficult for you in school, but think about it, in the long run, who is going to be better off, you for being smarter, or them for being immature and nasty? I think it will be you......ignore them, study hard, and get a great job, that will provide for you for the rest of your life.....

Yet another loser. This time from Ohio. I'll never know how some weirdos will keep sticking up for this scum. These pathetic losers. They are an embarrassment. It is sooo sad.

Well, I dislike them just because for some reason, they are always ranked really high in college sports, such as their football team this past year, but they just continue to suck, yet the pre-season rankings have them always being great, but they're not.

no but let me tell you, it's annoying. there's nothing more offensive or rude than some idiot sucking in huge amounts of air through their mouth during the middle of a lecture. i find it more offensive than someone passing gas.

Michigan'd defense pulls off the upset, Ohio State fans cry in each others mullets and drink themselves into a stupor with Kers Lot (Redneck way of saying Coors Light). Stupid Larry the Cable guy fans. Durrrrrr......

If it's deserved ? Boy somebody is taking this way too seriously. Try to have a little fun with it . I personally don't know why either, if I had to guess I would say it's because alot of people aren't very nice, or considerate, and misery loves company. People are very competitive by nature and unfortunately would rather win alone than to cross the line hand in hand with their fellow people. But that's just me.

Because there is a mixture of maturities at your age. Some of your classmates are very childish while others are very mature. The teacher tends to compare all of the students to the more mature ones. This makes the teacher dislike the less mature students. You may not be the worst one but your not as disciplined as the best ones.

They wanted to set themselves apart from Ohio University in Athens, plus they had to put stupida$$  Michigan fans in their place.  ...GO BUCKS!!!  And it's really not stupid its called trademark rights...profits...not really stupid if your making the cash and when did they put THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY on any shirt?  I don't have any like that...

Because the teams in Ohio suck.... for all sports.... As for Native Americans, they don't all like to get stumbling drunk, but those that do like it for the same reason anyone else who enjoys it does. It's habitual and it helps them forget whatever they didn't want to remember until they sober up again.

You know, it really gets me angry when people perpetuate the "high school football player" stereotype. Im a highschool football player. I dont drink, dont do drugs, and dont smoke. Im an eagle scout, a member of National Honors Society, and an almost strait A student...Spanish class....I weight lift, play football or play lacrosse everyday year round and im probably going to a highlevel college like UVA or UNC. Maybe these student athletes are just trying to make some cash like i do in my summer job. I consider myself a hard worker and a pretty good kid. And im not the only kid on my team thats like me. I wish people would stop being so narrow-minded. Just because a person enjoys playing the great sport of American Football doesnt make them a retarded druggie.
