WHY THE OHIO STATE SUCKS 1. The pretentious use of "the" preceding "Ohio State." 2. Ohio State has a losing bowl record. 3. Reggie Germany somehow maintained his academic eligibility at Ohio State with a 0.0 GPA. 4. Placing stickers of pot plants on their helmets, in some scheme designed to reduce the importance of team achievements. 5. Woody Hayes is idolized by Buckeye fans, instead of shunned due to his violent nature which consists not only of hitting Clemson players, but assaults in other incidents. 6. Art Schlichter's career as a compulsive gambler and criminal began and was nurtured at Ohio State. 7. Sammy Maldonado was a fine student and citizen in high school, and then became a problem child and poor student at Ohio State. He resurrected his education, career and life, transferring to Maryland. 8. Maurice Clarett developed from a decent high school student and football player into a criminal at Ohio State. 9. Jim Tressel is responsible for the Maldonado and Clarett situations, as well as Marco Cooper, Troy Smith and other Buckeyes receiving payments, yet Buckeye fans continue to apologize and ignore this behavior, even pretending that he runs a clean program. 10. John Cooper is not reviled by Buckeye fans for his pathetic graduation rates, or any of the scummier elements of the Buckeye program, but for one thing: 2-10-1 against Michigan and 3-8 in bowl games. 11. Ohio State has had four major infractions with the NCAA. And they're damn lucky they didn't have any with Clarett and other players receiving payments. 12. Ohio State continually changes their jerseys. You may have noticed that this website has the same colors as their jerseys: red and black. There is no gray on their jerseys. I guess they don't have a tradition worth upholding. 13. Ohio State's "greatest" tradition is the "Dotting of the I." Forgive me for not being impressed by the talent required for some tuba player to bow. This is particularly embarrassing, since the script Ohio was invented by the Michigan Marching Band in 1932. 14. Ohio State is named after a tree, the buckeye. Consider almost every other nickname - it is something to be feared, not something to be urinated on. Contrary to what some idiotic Buckeye fans will claim, the buckeye nut is not poisonous. 15. John Cooper's decision to run up the score on Penn State in 2000, which led to Adam Taliaferro becoming paralyzed. Had Cooper eschewed the meaningless score at the end of a 38-6 game, the Buckeyes would have certainly run the ball instead of pass with less than two minutes remaining. Rather than take a knee AFTER Taliaferro was paralyzed, Cooper decided to score a touchdown. In a shameful display lacking any perspective whatsoever, Cooper grinned when Ohio State scored. Buckeye fans applauded this decision for the most part. 16. In another classless display, Ohio State players ripped down the Michigan "Go Blue" banner before the Michigan / Ohio State game in 1973. Perhaps Ohio State can be proud in its role as the muse to thug programs like Miami stomping on opponents' logos at midfield. 17. Maurice Clarett is not hated for his wrongdoings at Ohio State, but for the fact that he exposed Ohio State as a dirty program. 18. Robert Reynolds, whose violent choking of Jim Sorgi was overlooked at Ohio State, has continued the Buckeye tradition of thuggery by getting domestic abuse charges. 19. Ohio State's stadium is named after the footwear of a horse. Since Ohio Stadium has the ends of the horseshoe pointing down, it has to be considered bad luck. 20. Not only are Ohio State's graduation rates poor, but the difference in graduation rates between black and white student athletes raises questions. The 4 class average graduation rates as of 1999-2000 for white football players was 71%, but a mere 30% for Ohio State's black football players. This is pathetic and shameful. 21. Ohio State claims its band is "The Best Damn Band in the Land." For some reasons, Buckeyes believe that repeating lies makes it true. 22. The Dead Schembechlers, an Ohio punk band that dresses up like the violent Woody Hayes, showed a lack of integrity by changing their name to the Bastard Sons of Woody. And before anyone says this was done to respect the passing of Schembechler, note that Woody Hayes is dead too. 23. Ohio State is overrated in pre-season polls, according to this. http://preseason.stassen.com/over-under/teams.html 24. Ohio State loves to claim many more national championships than they deserve: a.) In 2002, Ohio State's claim to a national championship depends on a questionable interference penalty required to beat Miami, b.) In 1968, Ohio State was not the only undefeated team. An undefeated Penn State, featuring Hall of Famers Franco Harris and Jack Ham, has as much a claim as Ohio State does. c.) In 1961, Ohio State for some reason thinks their team with a tie is better than undefeated Alabama. Alabama was the AP's choice. d.) In 1957, one-loss Ohio State for some reason thinks their team is better than undefeated Auburn, the AP's selection. e.) In 1954, Ohio State was not the only undefeated team. UCLA was also undefeated, and is as deserving as Ohio State was. f.) In 1944, Ohio State was undefeated, but so was Army. Army was loaded during WWII, and also won the AP poll. Army outscored their opponents 504-35, including beating 8-2 Notre Dame 59-0. Ohio State struggled to beat 8-2 Michigan 18-14. g.) In 1942, one-loss Ohio State lost to Wisconsin, who also had one loss. Georgia was another one-loss team that has as legitimate a claim to the national championship as Ohio State does. Ohio State repeating incessantly that they have 7 national championships does not make it true. Repeating a lie does not change it to truth.

tl;dr

What else would you expect out of todays youth?

A+ thread would read again.

In the mean time, THE Ohio State University will continue it's mission to provide a world class education, not only to its current students, but also to the entire world. The University remains and always will remain a shining beacon of academic and athletic success regardless of the adversity presented in this thread.

When will the mission be accompished?

Well it's going to take probably millions of years because Ohio State can only hold approximately 60,000 students at a time. Take 7 billion people with some population inflation divided by 60,000 and you'll have the amount of years it would take. The problem really lies in getting people to understand the difference between a world class education and a second rate education like Michigan or Georgia.

Makes sense. Thanks for sharing.

I clicked on this looking for a laugh.

Instead, I found a cut-n-paste job showing no creativity or intelligence on the OP's part. Putting him in the same "dipshit" category as such politards as QQuaker and Isaderp.
