Hey Mili...

Um, Steve, this thread is about my foursome in Boston with Sushi, Manfred and the doberman. Please don't attempt to hijack it with poignant, well spoken statements about what it means to be a Buckeye. :biggrin:

Couldn't agree with you more.

At least he didn't waste all his money and get to see a loss. Next year he can come to town, wolf down a 16" Wedgewood with salami then go see the Buckeyes wax scUM.

I'm not sure which is worse: saying you're not a fan if you've never been to a game or attended a school or proving you're a fan because you've donated to the cause. :roll1: :roll1:

Let's see, "afford to attend a game". Roundtrip flight from Oahu, hotel for a couple days, and food/drink expenses, vice the 3-hour drive from Shitsburgh (or in your case, a two-day camel procession). Yeah, that's simple pocket change.

By the way, I pay no alimony and the ex gets zero of my retirement...the only thing I pay is $215 in child support (which hasn't increased since Nov '88) which ends in January. You're lucky you don't have to pay alimony to animals...

Uh, unless you're a complete idiot, you would have realized all these expenses before ever planning a trip to make the visit. The bill would probably be so much that some yard work would be a drop in the bucket in comparison. ANd of course, you would have gotten the plane ticket months in advance too - did you get your money back from this too?

the much more likely story is that you never intended on going and just wanted to impress some people on the board. Sad, really. :shake:

I pity you.

Hey Tibor, I have two words for you:

Shut the Fuck up.

It's great how the most negative poster on this site is jumping on anyone else about whether or not they are a fan. Tibs, I think you're just pissed because you haven't found any recent police reports with Buckeyes listed on them...or perhaps it's because your idol, John Cooper, has dropped off the face of the earth.

Not a fair comment, Thump! I don't kiss anyone's ass and I haven't apologized to anyone for anything here.

Mili can stick up for himself without my help or anyone else's but I do need to explain my reason for posting a bit better.

I do not understand why anyone would question whether a US serviceman stationed overseas is a fan, simply because he has not attended a football game, when most of the Buckeye fans in Columbus haven't attended a game...especially with knowledge about what Mili has done for the video forum, the recruiting forum and etc over the years, without reward. And knowing that military personnel don't exactly get to schedule their leave at their convenience in many duty stations.

I also cannot imagine why anyone who would call himself an Ohio State fan, knowing how much this guy was looking forward to attending that Texas game, could then rub his face in his inability to afford the trip.

I don't think that it is a very big secret that US servicemen and servicewomen don't receive the same salaries the medical professionals get. Neither do primary and secondary school teachers, Thump. But the size of your pay packet doesn't make you a "winner" or "loser" and all three of these professions provide very important and necessary services to humanity. Pat Tillman understood that.

Had Mili made the same comment about you, I would have made just about the same post, Thump. This is not about defending Mili, he doesn't need my help in that regard anyway.

It is about defending a principle. We are all here because we are Ohio State fans. To be an Ohio State fan, you don't need to be an alumni. You don't need to have attended a game. You don't need to have donated money to the University. In fact, these things help but you can be all those things and NOT be a fan.

To be an Ohio State football fan, you just need to get up on a football Saturday and want the Buckeyes to win. Whether they are playing for the national championship or whether they are playing to keep out of last place in the Big Ten. You know if you are a Buckeye fan because you feel it in your gut. In my opinion, no one else has the right to question that.

I recently described taking my disabled father to his only his last game at Ohio Stadium and watching his face as he watched the Buckeye rip the Gophers in the rain. Walking that long way back to the car after the game. The days he spent in bed to get over the pain he suffered as a result. Watching his face light up every time he talked about it and said it was worth it.

Most of the people in my neighborhood never were able to attend a game but they decorated their porches in scarlet and gray every football Saturday, no matter how the Buckeyes did. They didn't get an alumni connection to get tickets, couldn't afford them, wouldn't have known how to go about it. My Dad attended no more than three or four games over 80 years and always because someone gave him tickets.

Since my earliest memories, I cannot remember a game that my Dad and Mom did not watch or listen to. A sports page that he did not read to find out how the Buckeyes had done. He donated small bits of money to the University but he didn't have a university education. When he said MEECHIGAN, he automatically got Woody's scowl on his face. From the time I was very young, all he ever dreamed is that somehow I might get through The Ohio State University, not Harvard, not somewhere else, and it was the proudest moment of his life when I did.

I can't imagine how attending a game makes you any more of a fan than that.

I see Mili's handing out Great Post Awards again.
