Fuck Ohio State! and it's completely rational. -I grew up in Ann Arbor, but honestly I could really care less about the rivalry. I hate OSU because one night 13 years ago, I went to see a band at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor and it happened to be Ohio State v Michigan that night. As I was leaving the venue, an Ohio State fan ran up to me and randomly succor punched me in the nose.

I momentarily lost consciousness and fell to the ground. When I got up, he was long gone and there was a circle of people around me. I felt my nose and it seemed to be moved over to the right side of my face.

It took several operations to get it back to semi-normal. I hate ohio state. Also... what gives with the "the" Ohio State? Get over yourselves already :)

    succor punched

He was just trying to lend you support while simultaneously creating your time of distress. Not his fault he was too drunk to work it out properly.

HA!, I wish it would have been a succor punch and not a sucker punch. Auto-correct has a much more extensive vocabulary than I. I just learned a new a word. Thanks. -I'll keep the mistake for continuity.

I'm so sorry to hear that! What an awful person. I went to a couple tOSU football games, and I always liked the fact that there were opposing team's fans right there in the student sections, and we all joined arms together and it was a lighthearted, convivial atmosphere. Granted, we usually won the game, so maybe that was why the tOSU fans we're happy to entertain opposing team's fans. I'm so sorry to hear of your experience! That's horrible! The Ohio State University is such a big university, and it has all kinds of people. That's a real outrage. I don't know why everyone calls it The Ohio State University, I just learned real quick from attending there that people there will correct you, so now it has become a force of habit.

Thanks, I'll take your sympathy on behalf of all OSU fans and I'll squash my disdain for that university. emcadwaladr, I found a group of individuals that I didn't like. -I stand corrected. That said, LeonardCohen seems to have enlightened me to the fact that not all OSU alumni are evil. I'm a changed man :)

I am surrounded by OSU alumni. I'm not a football guy, so I just try to avoid being burned at the stake.

I'm not a football guy either which made it all the more unusual of an experience. I wasn't wearing any team colors, I was minding my own business talking to the band that had just finished playing as they were loading up their gear.

Be careful emcadwaladr, they can strike at any time.
