There should be an orientation program for freshmen that makes it clear that this is not acceptable on the Athens or any of our branch campuses. First of all, they should be ashamed of OSU and their whole program.  You are paying a lot of money to be an Ohio student - so be a BOBCAT! Last Edited: 9/14/2011 1:57:58 PM by Sony7 Go Bobcats!

So you can book it right now that the bars will be decently packed, there will be quite a bit of red on campus and the student section won't be looking as full as it did last week.

Although I've no affinity for the OSU football program, I can't agree with your proposal.  One of my  grandnephews played for the Buckeyes and just graduated in June.  A fine young man, in my view.  That he had friends and a first cousin - another of my grandnephews who just graduated in June from OU - at Ohio who might have chosen to wear OSU apparel doesn't disturb me.  Encouraging Ohio students to wear green and white seems a worthy topic for orientation.  But discouraging them from wearing OSU colors?  Not so appropriate.  http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top anorris General User Member Since: 7/6/2010 Location: Bristol, CT Post Count: 2,262 Status: Offline     RE: Impact of Ohio State-Miami game on Ohio-Marshall attendance    Posted: 9/14/2011 4:29:32 PM  Mike Johnson wrote: Encouraging Ohio students to wear green and white seems a worthy topic for orientation.

I also know that the administration really pushes the OHIO pride angle at orientation. In one instance an administrator gave an incoming student a free OHIO shirt in exchange for removing the OSU jersey that he was wearing. It was done in a fun way and not maliciously. I think this is a great way to get the idea in people's heads from the get go that we take our school spirit seriously!

In their minds we are on a lower tier of athletics and we will never or should never be spoken in the same breath as OSU.

Take all of the clothing turned in and use in a bonfire the night before the Fiami game as part of a big pep rally. Two problems with my idea... 1. Giving away the shirts could be costly. 2. The clothing should really be given to charity, but the pep rally idea was different. GO BOBCATS!

How about giving students a discount on an authentic Ohio Bobcat football jersey? Oh wait, there is no such thing .
