Why OSU fans are smart

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Most went to college.

2. Live in houses without wheels in tornado country.

3. Realize the mullet went out in 1990 along with Billy Ray Cyrus.

4. That Boone Pickens is 80.

5. That the OSU Athletic department currently has $300 million and growing.

6. That several NFL executives have toured BPS and commented that the club level and luxury suites surpass most NFL stadiums in quality and comfort.

7. That the only reason some fans of other schools only come over to our boards to rile us up is because deep down in places they don't like to talk about, they are worried. They are ****in' their britches because they know that hell is comin' with us.

8. We're not dyslexic. (Is it ou or uo).

9. We're not ashamed to use the actual name of our stadium.

10. We know that 48 is greater than 16.

================================================== =====

1. Does not really matter where your fans live. Or the social class they belong. OU football fans are diverse. Covers the very poor, the poor, middle class, the rich and the elite. Better to have the masses chear for you.

5. So what?

6. Tell yourself that

7. Keep dreaming.

10. Majority of that is in wrestling, right?

Oh I have to respond to No.1

My Granparents both went to OU, my parents, 4 of my aunts, all my cousins, all my brothers, my hawt sis, myself and we went all the way. You're a product of an elite society that caters to the few. Have a life.

2. Live in houses without wheels in tornado country.

3. Realize the mullet went out in 1990 along with Billy Ray Cyrus.




*cough* bull**** *cough*

Really? Really?? Are they seriously gonna keep playing the "we're less
redneck than OU fans" card? Even if 1 is true (doubtful), most of their fans went to a college where people can major in hog slopping and tractor repair. And we're the rednecks? Unbe****inglievable.




4. That Boone Pickens is 80.


:confused:



5. That the OSU Athletic department currently has $300 million and growing.


Is that a lot? How much does our athletic department have? How much of $300 million is in the bank, and how much is invested in a hedge fund that's about to go belly up?



6. That several NFL executives have toured BPS and commented that the club level and luxury suites surpass most NFL stadiums in quality and comfort.


Wow. Impressive. I bet you could say the same thing about about most major college stadiums. Welcome to the big leagues, sheep shaggers. Don't bother unpacking. What do the NFL executives say about the half-empty stadium for every game?



7. That the only reason some fans of other schools only come over to our boards to rile us up is because deep down in places they don't like to talk about, they are worried. They are ****in' their britches because they know that hell is comin' with us.


BWAHAHAHAHA. Or maybe by "other schools" he means Southwest Missouri State. Oh wait, they didn't play them this year.



8. We're not dyslexic. (Is it ou or uo).


<insert Dexter Manley joke>

Where's question mark, dip****? mdklatt's First Law of the Innerweb: Message board posts criticizing somebody else's grammar/spelling invariably contain their own grammar/spelling errors.



9. We're not ashamed to use the actual name of our stadium.


You should be.



10. We know that 48 is greater than 16.



:confused:

Ok, I'll bite:

1. Most went to college.
Notice there is no mention of GRADUATING college.

2. Live in houses without wheels in tornado country.
Ok, so if this is true and they're so smart, why do they build these fictitious extravagant homes when they know they'll eventually get destroyed by a tornado.

3. Realize the mullet went out in 1990 along with Billy Ray Cyrus.
Actually, the mullet went out before then, but it took Billy Ray Cyrus finally being uncool for them to realize it.

4. That Boone Pickens is 80.
Their biggest fan is on his deathbed? Is he super-smart because he lived to 80? What is this supposed to mean? I suppose that if George W. Bush lives to 80, he'll all of a sudden be regarded as a genius.

5. That the OSU Athletic department currently has $300 million and growing.
With over half of that donated by a single person. Where are the rest of the alums/fans to donate? And, if this oSu alum is so smart, why does he KEEP spending his money on a university that has yet to benefit from using it?

6. That several NFL executives have toured BPS and commented that the club level and luxury suites surpass most NFL stadiums in quality and comfort.
A big, cushy chair is always comfortable the first time you sit in it. Too bad those seats won't get much use. Again, building a stadium that doesn't get much use = dumb.

7. That the only reason some fans of other schools only come over to our boards to rile us up is because deep down in places they don't like to talk about, they are worried. They are ****in' their britches because they know that hell is comin' with us.
Delusional paranoia does not equal intelligence.

8. We're not dyslexic. (Is it ou or uo).
But that's only because they can't spell in the first place.

9. We're not ashamed to use the actual name of our stadium.
They're just ashamed to show up for games in it.

10. We know that 48 is greater than 16.
From a campus that celebrates golf championships, rather than football ones, I'm surprised they came to this conclusion.

The one thing they never mention, T. Booger Pickens money - IS NOT OSU's money. He retains controls of the principle, OSU gets the interest off of it (unless something else has happened since I last look at this issue). I am not sure if OSU will get the money when he dies - the jest of the comment that he is 80 and they think they'll get lots of money when he dies - supposedly shortly. I think the pool of money they can borrow against to fund their we can't fill it up stadium renovations...

I thought this whole delusional aggy crap was put to rest when they opened up the 2007 season by getting destroyed at Georgia?

Or are they already anticipating 2008!? :|

Also, since when was it a prerequisite to be a graduate of a university before you can root for them/attend their games? I know the only people on the planet that like OSU are the ones that were duped into going there, but c'mon ... the big-time programs (see us, Michigan, Notre Dame, Alabama, etc.) are liked by people from all walks of life.

It's really a badge of shame that your only fans are alumni, but in the aggie way they view that as a badge of honor. Our teams sucks! Take that, gooners!

The idea that they don't have bandwagon fans is ridiculous to begin with. Once a decade or so, when they manage to win one over us, take note of all the oSu "fans" that suddenly make their presence known. They only reason the sheep shaggers think they don't have bandwagon fans is because it's so rare that anybody wants to jump on their bandwagon.

Listen aggy, recruits want to win, play in big games, get on TV and play in the NFL. They're not interested in going to some place where they repeatedly get their *** whipped and play in front of 20,000 people each week even if the place does have gold lockers. You had your chance to prove you were a "team on the rise" when you went down between the hedges but UGA slapped you back to a reality you can't seem to accept.

I have to say, I do admire their hypocrisy, it takes balls to be that hypocritical. They hate the fact that OU alumni point out the higher academic standards required to get into OU, they say that we are just being elitist snobs. But then they turn around and chastise OU fans for rooting for a college sports team they didn’t attend. So they hate us mentioning how much harder it is to get into OU than it is at OSU, they hate us bringing up the higher academic standards at OU, and they hate us mentioning that we have a better athletic program than they do because when we do, we are acting stuck up. Yet this same group of people attack OU for being something that people of all walks of life can attach to and identify with. So who are the elitists? Those who accept fans from all walks of life, or those who only acknowledge alumni as true fans? I saw a survey once that asked students at OU and OSU if their current school was their first choice. 90% of OU fans said it was, while only 50% of OSU fans claimed it. Maybe this all stems from the rejection letters they got all those years ago….

we have more redneck fans because we have more fans in general. We had more fans in 1971...heck probably in 19 and 51 too.

oSu fans grew some balls when they finally beat us in football in the 90's. that's right, it took a win in football (but but they support alll sports) for them to grow some wobblers.

Have you ever stood back and looked at how pathetic the average osu fans existance is? They are so obsessed with the fact they live in the shadow of big brother that they have grown to define themselves solely on their jealously of OU. How frustrating it must be to build optimism about your football team year after year after year, all to be dissapointed once again on an annual basis. The gnashing of teeth they must endure as they witness OU basking in the bright light of success. To watch the team they so envy acheive the goals they only dream of must be painful.
I guess they get to the point where the only personal satisfaction they can get is to huddle together with their own kind and fantasize about being superior to OU. I believe osu fans crave the off-season with the same excitement OU fans have for the season to start. For osu, the off-season is a time when they can still have hope, optimism, and their win/loss record is no worse than OU.

This whole losur logic of most of our fans went to college is ridiculous for many reasons

1. They are just looking at the majority of OU fans from the bigger cities. I grew up in a small town(3500 people) and the ratio of them to us was at least 10 to 1, and hardly any of them went to school there. Face it every small town farm type person across the state is an aggie.

2. As has been mentioned before it is much easier to get accepted there as i know many students there that are ou fans that couldn't get into here.

3. Some complete bandwagon fans, and prepare to be dumbfounded, are OU football fans and losur basketball fans. personally i say just buzz of and go ugly orange and dont come back.

It involves lsu, orange aggie state, and lots of hunting camo...and wedding cake. Honestly, I haven't even read through the thread. I just needed an excuse to put this up without starting its own thread.

I find it funny when someone posts a thread about who is smarter on a message board when above 85% of all message board posts have some kind of grammatical errors.


OU fans: "Were smarter."
OSU fans: "HEY!!! You speled it wrong!!! it's smartere!!!1111!1"
UT fans: "your all stupid ."
aTm fans: "There so dumb."
NU fans: "At leaste were not as dum as you."

Seriously... it's a message board. We're all likely posting in record time while we're supposed to be working, anyway. :D

The thing about that is, who refers to OU as UO? Not Oklahoma fans that's for sure. We call our selves OU, or sometimes OKU, they are the ones obsessed with calling the University of Oklahoma UO.

Their point is that we are the University of Oklahoma (U before the O) but we call ourselves OU.

It's a ridiculous point since every "University of" that was in the Big 8 does the same thing.

University of Colorado = CU
University of Kansas = KU
University of Missouri = MU
University of Nebraska = NU
University of Oklahoma = OU

They all decided to do it for uniformity reasons back in the day. Meanwhile, the new "University of" that was added when the Big 8 expanded kept it's U-first "nickname" (UT).

The thing that upsets me is when OU fans call it "Oklahoma University."
