Support for The 'Cats

Posted: 3/19/2012 3:55:39 PM

I talked to my HR person today and got the company to hold an Ohio U day where we are allowed to wear OU gear. It would be neat to see other Bobcat fans try and get their company to do the same. Hopefully pictures will follow.

   Talked w/ principal at my elementary school here in buckeyeland to have a green and white day on Friday. She agreed (has two children currently attending Ohio) but only if there is a scarlet and grey day on Thursday. arrrghhh

     I have a couple of students who are/have become Bobcat fans this year. Whenever they wear Bobcat clothes I pull out my grade book and, for the whole class to see, pretend to scribble A's under their names. Conversely, I'll tell the class that I'm writing F's in the book for those wearing osu inc.'s colors. I typically hear from 1 - 3 parents (of the gullible kids) per year about this practice.

    I also tell the class that they can earn extra credit by watching a Bobcat football/basketball game on TV and answering a question (is DJ left- or right-handed?; who is Ohio's quarterback?).

    Anything to help the cause and fight the brainwashing that takes place in Central Ohio.

I've worn an Ohio shirt every day since OUr first MAC tourney game. I can't stop now ... if I stop and they lose, I'll feel like it's all my fault!

Good thing I have a lot of Ohio shirts... probably also a good thing that I work at OU.

At the half time of the USF game I realized I had a different Ohio shirt on from the one I wore Friday. When I put the Friday shirt back on, Ohio started rolling. I won't make the same mistake again.

I work on the KY side of the Ohio River near Cincinnati. All UK, UC, and Xavier here with a sprinkle of Ohio State. Me and the girl who graduated from OU are probably the ones who were somewhat excited about the win.

Most of the time people wear suit pants and dress shirts(no ties) where I work in Connecticut. I pulled out my Ohio Football collared shirt this morning(I know it's football but didn't have any other OU gear with a collar) and wore it with a pair of dockers.

Knowing I went ot OU, my boss's boss came up to me this morning, shook my hand and congratulated me on OU's success. He was impressed with their play. He loved the shirt :)

Thursday through Sunday were team spirit days at work as part of a Jimmy V fundraiser. MAC Champions shirt for both gamedays, then "Don't Flinch" on our off day, when I got a "nice win" when I passed Jalen Rose in the hall.

Out of curiosity, Chuck, where are you in CT?

I've worn green ties every day since last week. Tomorrow is my last full day this week so we can leave for St. Louis Thursday. I think the green blazer and white pants will be out then, as well as for the game on Friday. My boys have worn their black jerseys to school 3 times each in the past 6 days.

That is the fun thing about having your own business, The entire staff is required to wear a bobcat shirt Friday.

On gameday I have wore a Green tie (different one each time). When I arrive back in Ohio from New Jersey, I will be landing with a Green tie on.

I am and forever will be the Wizard of OU.

Don't envy that trip every day! I'd say we should try to get together for a gamewatch somewhere, but unfortunately (as with the last two games), I'll be at work. Why can't get get a Thursday regional?!
