Games can be a nightmare or even cause you to have a bad day if your favorite one didn’t beat someone by a jazillion points. Such is the case with Ohio State fans and just about every slight this week is a shot at them! Enjoy! Kirk Barton will be a regular headliner here because he is a bada$$ when it comes to tweets with a little zing on them!

Friday Night Slights – Staff
WVa – Let’s take a moment to put things IN perspective! The Ohio State Buckeyes, and any team that you support on the collegiate level are just that. They are a sports team. They aren’t failing any of the fans by competing on Saturdays and bringing us joy just being there. Step up and be a human being and let it go! Stop being that guy or gal that feel it’s your God given right to trash talk one of them. Realize that their parents and family and friends read what you are saying and get a grip! I for one can tell you that If I ever see it, you are gone from my TL, you do NOT have the right to say things to those kids. You however do have the right to be an idiot, I cannot do anything about that!
Scott – to all you fair weather fans…..shut up. Seriously. Do you think OSU is “struggling” on purpose. Ain’t easy to win a title. Tougher to defend. When this team clicks and gets on a roll, you all won’t be invited to the party. Go back and look at all the close calls in 2002
MDotySr – I want to echo Scott and WVa first and foremost!! I would like to give honorable mention to Butch Jones (Tennessee) and Charlie Strong (Texas) to the list for terrible coaching jobs they have done this year. The talent Jones and Strong have recruited is plenty but the play is very poor at best. Also note that Strong has lost control of the players with them tweeting at halftime and now taking shots at each other on Social Media. To say the “inmates are running the asylum” would be an understatement.
Makes no sense to me why the bags inside of cereal boxes are not ziploc yet. Seems to be common sense in 2015!

Ken – The Buffalo Bills, who got curb-stomped by the Giants and the Cleveland Browns, who lost in their usual heart-breaking fashion. Buffalo had 17 penalties for 135 yards. Cleveland had 12 penalties for 91 yards. Not exactly helping their causes. Come to think of it, OSU’s 8 penalties for 109 yards didn’t exactly cover themselves in glory.
JC – I have to agree with Scott. The whole journey to repeat is a “tough” road. Each week it seems that the “fair-weather” fans are moaning about this or about that. The Buckeyes aren’t pretty right now but they are 5-0. Does anyone recall 2002’s Championship run? Each week seemed like a struggle & guess what the outcome was? I have tired big time of “fans” that want a 70-0 victory each week. Step out of your visit to Comic Con @ The Javits and come back to comprehending the big bulls-eye that comes with any current Champion in any sport – anywhere!

Friday Night Slight’s – Fans
So Sark shows up to a booster event drunk, looses 2 games USC should win in their sleep and yet Randy Edsell is going to loose his job.

Lol at the same fans who tweet trust urban were some of the same ones calling for backup QB to play. U either trust him or u don't.

I have to admit, this is the Tweet of the week . . , sometimes the positivity goes too far, sometimes!
I swear Ohio St could be losing 42-0 with 10 seconds left in the game there would be people on my TL going "Relax, we got this"
