^not a very popular thread... this one already has more posts

11/16/2008 2:50:04 PM

i personally believe (I personally beleeeeeeeeeeeeeeive) that this is the best rivalry in college football because the games are good and those two fan bases really fuckin hate eachother

its just hate, i love it and both the horseshoe and bighouse atmosphere are already near unparalleled as it is


puttin all that together is beautiful

that and the contrast in colors, i hade rivalries where the color are kinda the same

11/16/2008 3:04:36 PM

it's sad to say this, but i hope OSU wins. i'm a fan of the kick them while they're down strategy, and michigan has never had a worse season as far as losses are concerned.

11/16/2008 3:09:20 PM

^very true from what ive seen, i know people are LOVING this for michigan this year

11/16/2008 3:13:14 PM

I really hope Michigan wins because I don't want OSU to have a chance of going to a BCS Bowl.

[Edited on November 16, 2008 at 3:55 PM. Reason : unless it's Oklahoma State]

11/16/2008 3:52:45 PM

Michigan doens't have a chance in hell. The OP prediction of OSU -35 seems accurate.

11/16/2008 3:59:20 PM

I don't understand the second post.

Yes, I get what it is.

But it's 0% applicable to the thread.

....ah 'twas Ernie. No further explanation needed. (he doesn't understand what the term means)

^ He sorta has a point.

It's certainly still the most storied and heated.

But best? This year? No way. The Game has no NC implications, and probably not even conference champ implications so long as Penn State can maintain. With all the other great rivalries this year in which both teams are in the spotlight, this one probably won't mean much to anyone but Michgan / osu people this year.

^ And yet again, you fail to connect how the term "bandwagon" has anything to do with the arbitrary criteria you have attempted to establish.

11/16/2008 5:56:23 PM

1st post: guy who did not attend the University of Michigan
2nd post: bandwagon joke
several posts later: Wyloch being dense as fuck

11/16/2008 5:58:01 PM

Okay then...a bandwagoner is someone who attaches themselves to a new fad or trend because it's the popular thing to do.

The guy who started this thread was born in Detroit and pulled for Michigan (along with the ~dozen or so relatives who did attend) since birth.

Furthermore, despite Michigan sucking royally this year, the guy who started the thread is clearly still fanatical as ever about Michigan - which is fully contradictory to one of the main attributes of a bandwagoner.

So, I'll give you one final chance to redeem your dignity - make the connection.

If you didn't attend the university, you're a bandwagoner. Kudos for sticking through the tough times, you're still a Wal-Mart fan.

Well, I give you credit for replying. A+ for effort. You clearly don't understand what the term "bandwagoner" means, nor does your sense of logic seem very advanced. I'm sorry your education has failed you so badly.

On a side note: suppose a person pulls for the Red Sox. Under your bizarre standards, are they only allowed to do that if they live in Boston, or have lived in Boston at some point?

forget the term "bandwagoner" if it makes you happy, but you know who you guys are.

11/16/2008 6:09:14 PM

Rules regarding fandom of professional teams are different than those for college teams. It silly to try to make that argument while knocking my "sense of logic".

Call it whatever you want. You did not attend the University of Michigan, yet you are a fan of Wolverines athletics. I don't care if your great-great-grandfather founded the university, you are not a part of it. You have absolutely no grounds on which to gloat about "your team's" success or to opine over their shortcomings.

Also, I love that you called "my" standards "bizarre." Here they are:

1. You can legitimately pull for a school if you attended that school.

That's it! How bizarre!

If I were an OSU fan I'd laugh at people like you.

11/16/2008 6:10:38 PM

^^ Who, lifelong fans who did not attend the school? Yes, certainly - that is indeed the appropriate label, and in no way synonymous with "bandwagoner." No one has been able to counter that as of yet other than to say "nuh uhhh!!!!"


...fuck it. More importantly, Wolfpack won this weekend, so let's just get along and you stay out of our thread since you have no stake in the subject matter that it covers.

11/16/2008 6:17:57 PM

According to Ernie

If I grew up as the biggest NC State fan in the world

but I was also smart as fuck and got a full academic scholarship to Duke

I would have to turn that down and attend State in order to not be a bandwagon fan



Yeah, that makes all the sense in the world

11/16/2008 6:18:31 PM

According to Slave Famous, there's nothing wrong with Carolina fans attending State and still pulling for Carolina.

You rescind all previous allegiances when you attend a university. There are exceptions for non-DI schools.

That's the rule.

[Edited on November 16, 2008 at 6:21 PM. Reason : ]

11/16/2008 6:20:42 PM

^^that's not true at all.

you just can't go to duke and still say 'we' when you're talking about state football.

[Edited on November 16, 2008 at 6:21 PM. Reason : how do people not get this?]

Again, get over it. Move on. We will solve nothing by continuing to bash two different opinions against one another.

Under the hypothetical he provided, I say yes, he can. You say no. Done. The discussion really can't go any further than that.

People who are fans of a school for the 18 years before college aren't going to change allegiances for 4 years at a different college

Its Downs-level reasoning to think otherwise

11/16/2008 6:26:16 PM

Say that somehow Michigan pulled off the upset. Would you talk shit to a guy that graduated from OSU?

11/16/2008 6:31:34 PM

I hope they win, you run into Bobby Buckeye in the grocery store, and he punches you the fucking jaw for being so ignorant.

11/16/2008 6:32:35 PM

State is an average academic school at best

If I was a fan of State before college (which I wasn't) and got into a better college that I could afford (which I didn't), according to you, I wouldn't be "allowed" to respectfully pull for State anymore, no exceptions

ErnieLogic, at its finest

11/16/2008 6:33:12 PM

if you like state to win that's fine and dandy, but you can't go around calling state your team. they're not. state plays for state students and alumns. so does michigan.

The alumni of college teams makes up only a small fraction of their fanbase

If people only pulled for the school they went to, major college sports would be a niche offering, relegated to ESPNU and Versus

The 'bandwagoners' are what make college football and basketball the financial and commercial successes they are

11/16/2008 6:38:20 PM

I actually wouldn't, unless provoked. That's my general policy in sports. I never instigate anything, but will surely follow through if they start it.

G'nite TWW!

I think this happens to people in NC a lot...don't see how a UNC fan could go to Duke and still come out a UNC fan...same for other schools in the state.
