Who cares?

The premise here is ridiculous. It reminds me of so many Americans that worry about what Iran or France thinks of the U.S. Again I say, who cares?
More than likely any preconceived notions are going to be way off base and therefore unworthy of any thought, let alone concern.
Hate us, love us.....Just win baby.

Ditto. You should only care about the opinions of people whose judgment you respect. I know that excludes a whole lot of people and it should.

If you don't care, then why'd you decide to read the thread? Are you really that bored?

Because it's a bit more wide-sweeping than just a section of haters... with regard to US & OSU.

Most of what you're seeing on the internet are idiots like the guy who emailed the writer in this thread. When someone says "Ohio State loses the title game every year" you can rest assured they're about 12 years old and think the SEC invented football 2 years ago.

The world needs burger flippers, too, so let them feel good when we lose.

Although I'm unsure what your point is I'll try to explain. I may read a book about global warning although I don't think it's a problem and couldn't care less about it when it comes to affecting my life. That doesn't mean I won't try to educate myself to the whole idea of it. Thus, I read this thread.
It's really quite simple Yertle.

Not caring and not worrying are very different, you seem to fall into the latter category.

Not caring is how much those of us here have read about and discussed Alaska HS football or Chinese cricket.

The problem with your analogy is that no one votes to see if global warming is real or not. In college football, perception is reality because we vote to see who's the best rather than actually play football games to see who's the best.

So, you see a thread titled "OSU's Image Outside of Ohio", and think to yourself "hmmm... I don't care about this thread at all. Why should anyone care about our image outside of Ohio? As a matter of a fact, I care SOOOO little about this thread that I'm going to open it up and let everyone know that they shouldn't care either."

Ok. I follow you now. Makes perfect sense... I think I'm going to log onto the Fresno State football website and let everyone know that I don't care how the Bulldogs are looking in fall camp. Yeah... :tongue2:

Your assumptions are so silly and childlike that it really doesn't deserve a response. When it comes to adult discussions I have a hard time understanding Juvenile thought.

I understand your point. But it's possible to not care and not worry and still educate yourself and have an opinion. An example would be another thread in which I commented on West Virginia's 3-3-5 defense. Do I care about that defense?...Uh, no. Do I worry about it? No again. But I did take the time to learn about it several years ago when it became a sort of 'gimmick' defense and I saw a lot of the country talking about it. I saw it as a gimmick and had no special interest (Caring) in it at all. But I took a look at it.

Besides, I can take a look at a thread at something I think none of us chould care about. My interest there would be why Buckeye fans care about it. Not that I myself care about our nantional image. I think, as I stated earlier that it's fruitless to waste thought on what others think. (Others being non Buckeye fans) It gets you nothing.

Clever. Real clever. You get in a disagreement and resort to attacking someone's maturity level? Get a life.
