Ohio State Fans ... (Anyone can Answer) ...?

Question

Why do some of you get so angry when SEC fans ask questions or so called non-questions as you might call them that don't specifically promote your Conference and Teams? Understand this! I root for the Georgia Bulldogs and any SEC team because I'm from the south. You root for your team and conference because Most of you are from the region! That's how it's supposed to be! Why would I root for my team and promote yours? That's like me rooting for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to beat our Arch Nemesis Florida! I'm from Georgia but I'll never root for a team outside of my Conference! Try to answer without anger if you can. I wasn't mad when someone who loves Ohio State basically tore me a new one as he spoke about my arrogance in asking my previous question which was what do you think about this prediction. Talk to me!

Answer 1

It's because we hear things like this, my team is better because they are in the SEC, even from Mississippi fans. OSU is 0-9 against the SEC in bowl games, it's true, but that isn't the only story, and we get sick of hearing about it. OSU is 6-1 against Michigan in their last 7, and michigan is 7-1 against the SEC. OSU is 22-4 against the big 12, but no one mentions it. They are 4-2 in BCS bowl games, but again, it isn't mentioned. All we hear is 0-9 against the conference. Fact is, OSU is top tier team, and you are the first SEC fan I have ever heard mention it.

Personally, as for my view of the SEC, the last couple of seasons it has been the best conference, and it looks good for years to come. I think they will have some competition from the big 12 this year for that title. As for the national championship this year, every SEC team has a glaring weakness, and there are a lot of really good teams, not a great one. I doubt anyone in the conference is good enough to get to the championship, which is good for the SEC, because I think any team they have would lose in a championship game, unless a lesser team gets in, like OSU last year. I am not sure LSU could have beaten WVU or USC, or maybe even Missou. Don't get me wrong, I am not apologizing for OSU being in the game. Everyone else lost, most to horrid teams, and they have no one to blame but themselves.

Answer 2

Phil, I am a Michigan fan and agree with you.  We all want to tout our team as being the best, our conference being the best.  Reality is that the parity is so close it is a lot of fun to debate the issue.  Sometimes we lose sight of that!  GO BLUE!

Answer 3

We don't get angry from someone asking questions.  We get annoyed when our team is called c**p, pathetic, worthless, etc while they're winning pretty much every game they play AND getting to the Championship game two years in a row and having numberous Championship victories in their pockets.  We're proud of their accomplishments so it's annoying to have such a hard working group of kids put down on a constant basis.  They're our babies and we love them.

Answer 4

I know you are referring to me...I am not angry, I just don't refer to myself as a Big Ten fan...I am an Ohio State fan...yeah, I will cheer on anybody in our conference against Michigan...but that is the rivalry.  I don't make it a point to brag about the Big 10, now, in the yester years...when the Big 10 was better, nor in the future, if they were the best conference in football....I want to be the best team, not the best conference

I just get tired of getting on here, and all you SEC fans, trash talk OSU, I honestly don't care what happened the last 2 years in the NC game....and you "SEC" fans make it a point to talk about it EVERY DAY, as if Ohio State fans, really care, we lost, ok, welcome to the new season, the last 2 years mean NOTHING...to be completely honest I would rather beat Michigan every year, and lose to an SEC team every year, than see the vice versa....I just don't care about the SEC...but SEC fans, completely insist that all OSU fans do, it is annoying...I just wished you guys would compare Georgia to OSU, Florida to OSU....instead of that whole dang conference to OSU...Michigan is 20-5-1 against the SEC...this team lost to App State, and beat Florida...and you guys NEVER mention this...it is always SEC vs OSU...that is 12 teams vs 1....yeah we haven't beat an SEC team in a bowl game, but who cares...that is 9 games...I have watched more Michigan/OSU games than that, let alone all the games I have seen outside of the rivalry...and you insist on talking about 9 games in about a 40 year span...who cares....but you SEC fans will NEVER GET IT....

Answer 5

I understand what you are saying, but a Buckeye will never, ever, root for Michigan.  Some people will not even say the name, they call them that team up north.  The rivalry is so intense that things shut down, activities are postponed during that game.  I root for other Big Ten teams when they are playing other teams.   But I also root for teams in other conferences.  I want every team that Ohio State beats to go undefeated against everyone else.  I hope Georgia goes undefeated so when OSU and Georgia meets in the BCS championship, they are both undefeated.    

Answer 6

You are so so right. Fellow SEC fan right here and my favorite teams I root for, outside of my home state, are the other SEC teams.  

Answer 7

as a Gator girl I completely agree, I root for any team that's from the SEC and that just how it is. Do I want my team to slaughter other SEC teams, absolutely but when it comes down to it I'd root for LSU over Ohio any day
