Booing Kids

[*OSUBucknut10*]

I heard some of that at the Ohio game and it [censored]ed me off. I was frustrated like a lot of fans, and while I shook my head at some of JT's calls (I'm pretty sure he couldn't see my face up in South Stands) I've always known it's not "boo, boo, boo the home team", as long as the effort is there.

As ticket buying fans/alums, all we can demand is effort. As long as they're trying to win, our role is to support them. We are not owed a victory.

Go Bucks! Beat SC! :osu:

I actually disagree with that. We fans of Ohio State have endured so much criticism from other idiots. Though our team has given us a lot to cheer about as well, they do kind of "Owe us." It's not hard for a Buckeye fan to stick by our team because that is what makes us a unique fan base. We have many die-hards.

That being said, a performance like Sat deserves some venting from fans. Heck they were sleep walking out there, and our fans didn't pay $62+ to see us almost lose to OU. They deserved a little booing..... not to be mean, to show them that we expect better and deserve better. I don't condone the idiot fans who start cheering for the other team, or rip individual players screaming how bad they suck. The idiot behind me Sat did just that. Like he could ever concieve of beeing good enough to start for OU let alone Ohio State. Fans like that need to wonder up north or something because we don't need them.

If I played for OSU and we were playing badly, I'd understand those boo's, and i'd use them as motivation for fixing it. When they do as they should, they get 105,000 plus cheering in a defning noise.

So I for one didn't disagree with giving the boys a little booing on Saturday... doesn't mean i'm not a fan or I don't appreciate them.

GO BUCKS!

in a post called "final warning" you posted this?

Playing bad doesn't deserve booing, dogging it may deserve some, but no one was dogging it Saturday. I save boos for the athletes that get paid to play, not young kids. (except Pretorious)

I didn't bash any player whatsoever. I was stating the idiot at the game Sat was just ridiculous.

I said I feel at times it is ok to boo teams and coaches in response of some other guy's opinion.... so it's valid.

Are you saind that because you think I'm pushing it or because you think that this isn't the place I should of posted this?

I never bashed anyone... so if they suspend me then that would be ludacrious.... I don't bash OSU players on here.

 

[IronBuckI]

"Owe Us" ??!!!!??11?!! Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

I thought they deserved it at halftime on Sat...... they were losing to Ohio! That being said, I was their to praise them significantly when they performed well in the fourth quarter.

They represent a school, and millions of people playing for OSU, they know that.

Are you not allowed express disdain with the Bush?

That's just my take on things

seriously folks, if you dont get it, the mods are messing around. no need to bring politics into this. no need to have this discussion. if you dont get it, youll be shown the door. this is not the time, the week or anything else. our mods are volunteers, they do this because they love the university and the team and the site. making their job harder on one of thebiggest weeks of the year is just classless. act with class folks. act like youve been there before. make the team, community, state, university, coaches, players, fans, alums and memebers of this community proud.

Follow my example.

Robert is a pr ick.

Still irrelevant.

Me saying I got a little upset at the half last week has no bearing on the warning that has been handed down. I did not and will not bash an players. I wish I had half the talent of these boys. It would make no sense to be suspended because I admitted I boo'd a little bit at half Sat....... I'm one of the biggest OSU fans, and me being so upset over their playing on Saturday shows just that.

(Disclaimer: I am stubborn and don't let things rest lol)

You won't be banned for that. Some may take offense to it, but you will not be banned over it.

Exactly right which is why JO said you posted it in the wrong thread and I split it off to this one.

Not a real hard concept.

GO BUCKS!

Many, many years ago, I learned from my father to never boo a college athlete or a college team. He even stressed that I shouldn't boo scUM when they take the field.

His reasons were simple. They are college athletes, kids still developing their skill set. He also made it clear to feel free to boo the professionals since they are getting paid good money.

Here I am now, as a father, dispensing the same mindset to my sons. I have never booed a college athlete or a college team and that does include scUM. I have been to roughly 15 OSU v scUM contests and have never booed those winged helmets. Simply because they are college athletes.

Basically, to me anyone who believes that it is acceptable to boo a college athlete, or that it is acceptable when others boo a college athlete has their head up their ass a little too far. Such a person is not one that I consider to be a true fan nor a true fan of collegiate athletics. Such a person is usually one that I discount in being able to have any level of intelligent collegiate athletics discussion with. And when I have my 11 year old or 14 year old son in the 'Shoe, and someone jackass starts to boo our Buckeyes, I am more than pleased to see my son look at said jackass and shake his head in disbelief/disgust.

The above is simply my opinion. And yes, it has been hard over the years to not boo scUM at times.
