Who Makes it Personal for You?
Foreshadowing, anyone?While we all share a common distaste for the collective entity known as That Shell of a Football Program Up North, it’s the personnel passing through Ann Arbor over the years that truly stoke the hate flames.
That said, we’re wondering which Wolverine(s) you love to despise the most, and why?
We’re guessing many of you cut your rivalry teeth during the Cooper Era so you’ve got more than few choices at your disposal. Others may not focus their hate on players who may have beaten OSU, instead choosing to reserve their utmost disdain for Wolverines who have shown a penchant for classless behavior.
Here’s a sample size for you to ponder:
- Tshimanga Biakabutuka: A man of many nicknames, although I believe iball’s moniker is the best of the bunch, Timmy lit up the undefeated Buckeyes in my one and only trip to Ann Arbor rushing for 2,836,943 yards in a 31-23 upset. Obviously, this vaults “YMF” to 2nd on my personal hate list. Worst. Trip. Ever.
- Tom Darden: Maybe a bit obscure to some of the younger generation, Darden got away with blatant pass interference before intercepting a key pass in a 10-7 loss to Michigan in 1971 prompting a Woody explosion complete with one down marker thrown like a dart onto the field before shredding another. This preceded a well deserved verbal lashing of multiple officials. Even better, Woody apologized after the game but later saw the replay and immediately took back the apology. Hate week, indeed. Tom Darden was a cheater. And he kicked dogs, too.
- Jim Harbaugh: Reeking of Michigan faux elitism, Harbaugh earned all-time hate status after guaranteeing a Michigan victory in 1986. With a Rose Bowl trip on line, OSU’s Matt Frantz missed a 45 yard FG in the closing minutes giving UM a 26-24 win.
- Desmond Howard: An obvious step brother of Shannon Sharpe, Horse Teeth Howard is at the top of my personal hate list thanks to his (1) defection, (2) Heisman pose, and (3) for stooping so low as to sing Hail to the Victors in a romantic duet with Nick Lachey atop the ‘Shoe a few years back. Where’s a gust of wind when you need it?
- Mike Hart: I feel weird putting H20-4 on the list considering his career featured a donut against the Buckeyes but he makes the cut on sheer cockiness alone. Dude had a penchant for running his gums but never backed it up with a W in The Game. I can’t thank him enough for coming back for his senior season.
- Charles Woodson: Already a traitor, the ever-cocky Woodson did it all in the ‘97 loss returning a punt for a TD, picking off a pass in the endzone and even catching a pass on a big gainer to set up another score.
- Marcus Ray: A traitor from Columbus, Ray is the safety who undercut David Boston as shown on the infamous 1997 SI cover. At least there’s a silver lining with Ray – he missed half of his senior season after having an agent take him to the Cincy Jazz Fest and pay for some hotel rooms. I hope the agent at least had enough taste not to spring for the Chess King sweater Ray wore when coming clean about his dirty dealings.
- Brian Griese: Memories of his daddy providing color commentary on ABC is enough to earn him a spot on this list but the fact he helped upset OSU in both ‘95 and 96 is icing on the hate.
We could go on for days commenting on the likes of John Kolesar, Anthony Carter, Shawn Crable, Dan Dierdorf, etc. but now it’s your turn. Who do you love to hate?
Charles Woodson, fuck that dirty SOB. The “take that” cover on SI back in the day still haunts my memories.
i guess i have to hate marcus and charles equally. that was a bad year.
I was thinking Charles Woodson myself. Just all the hype around him that season made it worse. I hated him. Biaukabatuka was a bad game, but for some reason I always really hated Woodson.
Its a dead heat between Woodson, YMF, and Des Howard. At least the asshole coulda got the Heisman pose right.
Who punts to the guy that is going to win the Heisman…? I will never get over the pain of watching that play from the end zone…
The thing is, Woodson wasn’t a gifted punt returner. That TD return was the ONLY one he managed during his career. Going into The Game, there wasn’t any real reason for opposing teams to want to punt away from him, because up to that point he hadn’t done much as a returner.
I’ve never complained about Woodson winning the Heisman Trophy that year, though. He beat Ohio State almost single-handedly.
He set up Michigan’s only offensive touchdown of the day with a long catch (the ONLY reception by a Michigan wide receiver all day). He returned the punt for a TD. And he snuffed out an OSU scoring drive with a pick in the endzone. I was watching that game at my girlfriend’s apartment. I’m pretty sure she didn’t know my vocabulary was that expansive. That was NOT a pleasant afternoon.
I was also in the endzone that day. I was in the middle of a bunch of UM students who were chanting “Eddie Who?” after Woodson did something big. I hate Woodson the most simply because of that game. But I also must say that his performance was about the most dominating and impressive I have ever witnessed live. He did singlehandedly beat the Bucks.
Plus, he got into it with Boston on the far end of the field … that little bitch.
Second for me would be Hart (recently leaped Biakabatuka sp???). This guy was such a punk it is easy to hate him.
Third is Howard – probably would be number one except I think his TV work has made me hate him less. He is not cocky and a UM homer, so that knocks him down a bit.
Fourth would be Cooper.
I was at the game where Biakabutuka ran all over us, I was 13 had my OSU jacket on and was pelted by marshmallows with rocks in them. I knew the dislike for them before that game, but I’ve hated them since.
Not really old enough to remember most of the cooper era (thank you jesus) so i gotta go with the all talk no walk Mike Hart. He could have stayed 10 more years and would never sniff a W against the buckeyes
Its hard to hate Mike Hart since the usual reason for hate is jealousy or defeat. He caused none of this but he still never shut up and got what he deserved.
No one person does it for me, it usually goes year to year. This year it’s Tate Forcier and Brandon Graham for talking smack. This year it’s also for the Michigan fans bragging about their 4-0 start even though it was against Columbus State Community College, Walnut Ridge High School, Ohio State Barber College and Olde Orchard Elementary School.
If there is a year when someone doesn’t talk smack then I just chalk it up to the true Ohio Man Creed “thou must dispise Michigan”!
despise
you forgot the loss to my west broad elementary cowboys.
Heard they almost lost to Olde Orchard, too.
Carence is obviously an East-sider.
this is really funny btw.
Hands down, Desmond Howard. I was taunted by Michigan fans for years who would pull the “Heisman move” when they would see me wearing my Buckeye gear.
I can still hear Keith Jackson saying, “Good bye…….Hello Heisman”
I’ll take the ahole up there who said that that Sparty was their main rivalry. Who in the hell was that? That was low.
Close 2nd was the pose by DH. Also stands for dickhead.
1. Leslie Lynch King, Jr. – “look at me, i am the unelected president of the US and i changed my name. i am entirely fraudulent.” –actual quote
2. The Fans – haughty, haughty, and on their good days obnoxious
3. Desmond “the pose” Howard – someone should have knocked the taste out of his mouth when he pulled that stunt.
Although, my first experience was Biakabatuka really as I was about 11 or 12 years old when it happened and Woodson was always my choice to despise. I have to agree with Desmond Howard. I was really to young to remember that game, but every time I see that clip with him posing for Heisman I just think I can’t stand that bastard lol. Although he can be entertaining on Game Day. That clip though is a reason that I really hate Michigan.
Desmond Howard is #1.
hard to argue with poop
lol
John Kolesar, traitor
Came from the North Coast, and in the 1988 game he grabbed the game-winning TD after running the last kickoff back about 55 yards.
We were down 20-0 at half, but came storming back to grab a late lead, and Kolesar destroyed us in about 30 seconds flat.
It was the first in a long line of Cooper disasters, but it all started with him.
That game was on BTN Tuesday night. Not sure why, but I watched it. And wept again.
Did you see me in the stands?
I was wearing scarlet. A jersey.
Pretty easy to spot me.
I was in C-deck, and I blew off NatGuard drill to go to the game. Kolesar deserves seven levels of hell, not just for that game but the ‘85 game as well.
That’s about as a good a list as I could ever create. I’ll take it one step further. I have family who make me want the win in Ann Arbor so badly. My grandfather attended and my aunt graduated from the school up north. I still have nightmares of my grandfather coming home from work chanting “Go Blue” over and over. Add to that that my wife (two degrees from OSU) has family from Michigan, including my father-in-law who’s a huge scUM fan. I am actually happy that we’re not visiting the Detroit area this year for the holidays as I will not have to constantly debate OSU/scUM on Christmas.
So, my answer is “in-laws.”
Ha, yeah my uncle used to teach there even though he was an OSU grad he turned a few of my extended family into scUM fans. But it’s been much better as of late during Christmas.
Get this…my wife is an academic. This year she’s on the job market. Both Michigan and Wisconsin are on the list of possibilities. She has mentioned that she’s not sure that she could put me through a job in Ann Arbor. Stay tuned…
please tell me you are actually writing something titled “building international coalitions with beer and pavement”
Oh, it’s in the works. I don’t know that it will ever see the light of day, but it’s in process.
godspeed and i hope you get a lifetime supply of beer from every brewer you mention if it does see the light of day.
that;s a scary thought. one step closer to that “house divided” flag that makes me so sick.
I’ve always, always, always despised scUM’s big three of Jake Long, Chad Henne, and Mike Hart. Always. Every expert gave Jake Long an on-air BJ, followed with a laundry list of accomplishments that H&H had accomplished. It made my heart extremely glad to see them all lose the only game that matters so often.
Desmond Howard. I was in the stands in front of him when he did that pose. HATE. HATE.
In terms of memories of pure, raw, unadulterated hatred it has to be Charles Woodson for me. I’m 25, and grew up in the John Cooper era, so I distinctively recall that 97 game with Woodson just absolutely shredding us. Seeing him playing in GB against the Viks a couple weeks ago brought all that hatred back.
#2 would be Howard. Those BTN commercials piss me off everytime I see them. Fuck you and your pose, Desmond. The duet with Douchey in the Shoe made me hate him (and ESPN) even more. I always laugh when you can’t hear him talk on gameday here because of TBDFITL booing him. How flustered he gets (esp. in ‘08, I could watch that on loop forever) is hilarious.
As my cousin used to always say, “If you’re going to be anybody, Biakabutuka.”
Fuck M*ch*gan. Go Bucks!
I think Chris Spielman and his lame gold pants lectures is pretty annoying. Hard for me to really hate him, though, because he was good as a Lion.
If I was an OSU fan, though, I think I’d probably hate Desmond the most. I mean, the whole Heisman pose in the back of the endzone had to just kill you guys. Next to the second time I got laid (the first time was pretty forgettable and the girl had arms as thick as Mangino’s neck), that was the most satisfying moment of my life.
I don’t get the Hart hate. He never beat you and he mostly looked like a pathetic, moronic blowhard. Dude man made me embarrassed to be a M fan on multiple occasions. To that end, I’ve never got why the Michigan fanbase liked him so much. Whatever.
Actually, Desmond is kinda funny. He completely botched the pose, proving that Michigan just doesn’t have that much experience with the Heisman. Also, he is only marginally better on Game Day than Corso…post-stroke, proving that UM’s standards for admission are not that high.
I mean, Eddie George broke the actual Heisman Trophy. And, have you heard Stanley Jackson attempt to talk on WTVN? Plus, he wears velor suits. VELOR SUITS. At least Desmond is well-dressed.
So, yeah.
Fair enough. We know who we are. We’re a school of and for the people. Michigan is for elitists (who consequently think they’re elite).
Going back to UM’s academics being overrated, it is actually spelled velour suits. VELOUR SUITS. At least we can spell.
So, yeah.
i was on a conference call and used firefox’s spelling tool. my bad player. having not gone to michigan (and instead to wonderful public university in the great state of ohio), i can’t help but think your comments are non-applicable to both myself and a huge proportion of the michigan fanbase.
so, you are a walmart wolverine and act disrespectfully towards your employer, client, and/or friend? kudos to you sir. you are a true gentleman.
i’m carrying on the fine traditions established by the renowned benjamin henry harrison, thereby in no way can i be construed as a walmart wolverine. and, of course, conference calls are for dicking off. you’re a liar if you deny this.
you were born in indiana, pursued a legal education in ohio, and are moving back to indiana to open a legal practice with the inheritance from your recently deceased aunt?
(i won’t even pretend to have known all of that about benny off the top of my head)
I hate their fans more than any individual player. Although Desmond ranks right up there.
We drove up for the 2003 game, and had to sit in traffic with all their fans streaming by the car trying to leave that toilet bowl.
I used to hate David Boston but all that hate dissipated upon the discovery that he was self-administering the date rape drug. Giving yourself rapies? Awesome.
I just hate their stupid colors, and those stupid helmets, and their even more idiotic players. Their state sucks, and anyone involved with that program should just give up playing football. I hate Lloyd Carr for his ridiculously stupid sweat shirts he’d wear on the sidelines…Show some professionalism, you jackass! Recently, Woodson and Edwards have been whining and crying about the Michigan program as it is right now. Woodson is openly complaining he’s getting sh*t in NFL locker rooms about how bad Michigan is, and Edwards was whining to the media when DRod changed who wears the #1. The world’s smallest violin isn’t small enough.
Where do these guys get off? Mike Wallace sucks, too.
Screw them, screw their sorry excuse for a civilized state…I hope we give them 14 straight losses to start this century the way they did it to us last century.
I hate that old motherfucker from the HBO special too…. the REALLY old guy….
Yost?!?!
I dunno who he was. Had a yellow shirt on and looked like he went to high school with moses.
the best quote from that HBO documentary was “Have you ever been to Michigan? The whole state smells like old hot dog water. It’s fucking disgusting.” Unfortunately, I can’t remember who said it.
Dan Grueter, alumni of Ohio State’s class of 1987 said it. Google: it’s a miracle worker.
that’s my favorite too.
I guess Bill Belichick isn’t a professional for wearing cut off sleave sweat shirts, but hey who am I to judge since you have the answers. Is a sweater vest that much more appealing? For god sakes it reminds me of when I was 5 and my mom forced me to wear those stupid things.
And where do you get off? Who are you to question them?
Stop crucifying people for expressing their opinion!
Well see Bellechick looks like a dude id see pulling over and going through my trash every week to see if there’s any good stuff.
Just like in basketball, Rick Pitino always wore Armani, he may be a scum bag but he can coach and brings success. Bob Huggins was also a good coach but he looked like he was on his way back from the gym all the time. It’s not knocking their coaching, just look like you wake up in a house and not a dumpster once in a while.
so, you are a walmart buckeye and act disrespectfully towards your employer, client, and/or friend? kudos to you sir. you are a true gentleman.
I think Doritos shops at target. Just saying.
Yeah, he’s a Walmart Buckeye…and he sold Lloyd Carr that sweatshirt.
you are the worst troll EVAAARRR. your comments don’t even make sense.
troll toll.
Walmart Wolverine. That’s funny.
Bill Belichick looks like a slob. So does Charlie Weiss. A sweater vest is much more appealing to answer your question.
A guy I went to h.s. with went to Michigan…his Facebook trash-talk this week was, “Jim Tressel drinks wine coolers.” WTF?! $130,000 degree and that’s the best he could come up with. LAME!
that sums up life as a scUM alum. “book smarts” don’t mean jack in the real world… unless you work in a lab.
and working in a lab = only getting some rat ass so its a no win situation
there’s a scUM fan in my condo development. had his ugly yellow flag out today, hocked a big one on it when i walked my dog, Woodrow, this morning. felt good.
you should burn that flag!
if i have the chance. i have a feeling it will be out of site by noon PST on saturday.
lol probably so.
You stay classy Southbay
Whats better using scUM? TTUN? TSUN? Dick Rod? Not much more clever and my bet is you didn’t come up with a single one of them.
Well I can tell you who came up with TTUN that should be a no brainer. The reason they keep getting used is because it pisses people like you off, otherwise you wouldn’t be here commenting about it.
The same response goes to your buddy bucks fan about Jim Tressel drinking wine coolers, which is actually true in fact.
how does it feel to be demoralized repeatedly by a man that drinks wine coolers?
don’t get all butt hurt about it little boy blue.
I guess wine coolers help you crush Michigan, then? In that case, I’m going to go buy 3 or 4 cases!
Bruce Willis recommends Seagram’s

Dick Rod drinks white lightening and it shows.
What is your favorite Buckeye name du jour? Suckeyes? Bucknuts? HairlessNuts?
Luckeyes
Luck has nothing to do with what the Buckeyes have been able to do to the Wolverines all these years.
Well no shit pam. The term originated in 2003 or 2002. Whatever the year they won the NC game
I’m fine with being lucky.
Plus, what years are you talking? 52-42-3!
I’ll save time for your come back.
But but but those years in the beginning shouldn’t count.
Michigan fans always point to the past, where Buckeye fans are all about the present and future.
Congrats on winning those championships against all those club teams back in the day.
haha, so your rebuttal is:
but but but fielding yost!
that is obviously the superior position. i mean, what else could there be?!
i have always heard that henry ford was a son of a bitch towards yost when UM lost a game. can you confirm this?
Yes, the Buckeyes were “lucky” to win the NCG. It was luck that sacked Dorsey 5 times and held him to -19 yards. It was luck that converted on 4th and 14. It was luck that Mo C stripped the ball from Sean Taylor after he picked off Krenezel. Luck also held the ‘Canes at the goal line on the final drive of the game and luck batted down Dorsey’s last pass. Yep, luck had everything to do with it. Maybe one day UM will get that lucky.
mot any time in the foreseeable future…
Ya were all about the past man. All about it! Just like hearing 6 in a row. How many years am i allowed to go back?
ahh, but the streak is current.
Get a grip Pam. It wasn’t just that game it was the whole season. They snuck by a lot of opponents but it doesn’t mean they are lucky. I didn’t come up with the term and credit to that Buckeyes team. (notice I used buckeyes) I was just stating when the term came about and that it’s my favorite.
and where did hairlessnuts come from? Actually my favorite is one Id rather not post out of respect to our fine gentlemen who put this site together (and that really isn’t sarcasm. I like this site. haha i read it more than mgoblog) but its the F”eyes
I’m partial to “skunk-bears” myself.
go blew you realize the curbstomping that is coming your teams way. Buckeyes are gonna treat them like a prom date in new jersey
That’s nearly as good as the Texas fans I passed on the way to the Fiesta Bowl. My cousins and I were walking into the stadium wearing jerseys, we walked through this tailgate of Texas fans (cuz fuck ‘em). They had a table full of champagne and the asshat TX fan in his stupid burnt orange polo decides he’s going to zing us a good one. His quip: “Where’d you get those jerseys, Banana Republic?”
I thought it was only scUM fans that did that shit?
For whatever reason Braylon Edwards always brought out the massive hate in me. I truly hoped he would get hurt whenever he played. HATE! HATE! HATE!
Mike Hart is a close second, mostly because we lost to his HS team in the state playoffs, only for me to find out the same day he was going to scUM. Eff him.
And third is going to be…..Biakablahamabutututka. He broke my heart like a girl never could…….
I agree with most of the ones already stated.
I did have underrated hate for Chris Perry, especially since he starred in the only game we’ve lost since Tressel took over. He was quite the gum-flapper himself, but like the rest of UM’s backs, didn’t do shit in the NFL. I can still picture ABC’s coverage of that 2003 UM team getting presented with roses in the locker room after the game. Perry was so obnoxious, it gave me hate. Replace your friends aftershave with battery acid kind of hate.
what about Anthony “the [g]A[y] Train” Thomas?? That dude was there for at least a decade
Tshimanga Biakabutuka without a doubt
John Cooper
Seconded.
Cosign
My worst memory of the rivalry we Greg Frey.
Tim Biakabutuka – I was 13 when he went ape-shit on the Buckeyes in ‘95. Nothing compares to the feeling I got after that game ended. To make matters worse, I grew up in Knoxville, where they showed the Florida-Florida State game live on ABC, which put the OSU-UM game on pay per view. I can’t think of another year in my short lifetime where OSU-UM wasn’t broadcast coast-to-coast on ABC.
Funny, seems everyone on this blog was 13 in 1995…
Not everyone. I was 42. Everyone who knows me knows his name is not to be mentioned. Ever.
It’s hard to pronounce anyway lol.
That helps.
yeah right, I was 8…and I remember the hurt like it was yesterday. It was the first time I said the F word around my dad, grandpa, and our Priest and no one thought twice.
I was going to say Braylon Edwards, but the dude was basically a class act during his time at Michigan. Thus, I have to go with Chris Perry. Not only did he destroy us in ‘03, the dude has never stopped talking shit, even as Michigan has sank further and further into irrelevance.
Oh, and he up and decided to suck when he got drafted by my Bengals. That doesn’t help.
Fuck Chris Perry with a baseball bat. Seriously.
Am I the only one that holds hate in my heart for Anthony Thomas? (the RB, not the chocolate maker)
whew, thought you were dissing those wonderful peanut butter buckeyes they made.
I vote for John H. Cooper…2-10-1 says it all!
Chris Webber…sorry but I was at the Elite 8 game in Lexington, KY and it was a long ass ride back to Akron that night. I hate the Fab 5 and the trend they started with the long ugly-ass shorts…Roy Tarpley and Gary Grant before them and all of them. Basketball isn’t nearly as important as football but right now those memories piss me off. Cheatin’ Bastards.
Football: I hate all those pricks too.
yah i want that final 4 banner of theirs nice to know that the buckeyes played a professional team that year
TIME OUT!!
Best call in the history of CBB.
hate hate hate on hate week nice.. besides hate for all those traitors that left the fine north coast to go to that shithole. mine in particular is of desmond horsetoothed jackass fucking howard (watch the hbo special on the rivalry) him and his little gay butt pirate friend nick lachey (pull that fuckhead’s ohio card) singing that god damn song is enuff for me to puke. the entire greisebag family the old man in particular real professional up in the booth, now go get a taco and call a wakeforest game douchebag! being the ripe old age of 31 i grew up in the pit of life that was the daggum buckeye in my pocket cooper years so i hate that arizona state reject keep some instate talent would have been a good idea. also god just make a big deal out of the fricken game you jackass (and his qoute about never loosing to a bad scum team) coop u lost to basically every scum team, hell you would and did to a fricken juco team when the game mattered.
Dude, we gotta get you back on your meds.
what its hate week…lol…
Not even close, it’s Desmond Howard. The pose was bad enough. Now he has to wreck 20% of College Gameday with the most inaudible mush-mouth drivel. That retard couldn’t find a complete sentence or make a coherent point if his life depended on it. All because of one high-profile play against the Bucks.
Well, he was the only Game Day crew member that picked tOSU to beat PSU.
he looks like a rat though.
True.
Master Splinter!
I hate Tom Brady for becoming a big name in the NFL, also, for beating my OTHER college team: Bama in the Sugar Bowl. I STILL HATE HIM FOR THAT.
hate to the sec as well. no quarterback play or offence in general = good defence sec is overated only problem is the media has a huge mancrush on them
also it was in the orange bowl bamas coach at the time wanted to molest and harrass women in maimi instead of new orleans
Agreed. Not only is Tom Brady someone I love to hate, but I’ve had it with the SEC being media darlings. Move on.
Im shocked nobody mentioned Bo Schembechler….
A true traitor. Benedict Arnold of college football.
bo schembechler was a liar!
“those who stay will be champions”
except bo never won anything, no national championships, nothing. sorry.
woody:3
bo:0
now it’s “those who stay will be embarrassed”
Or rather it’s now…
“Those who still will be.,…OH COME ON! You’re transferring?”
dead schembechlers song “bo for 24″
He’s #1 on my list. I’ll never forget how they used to sell “S*** on Bo” toilet paper at the OSU fan stores back in the 70’s. Those were the days.
1. Mikey Hart
2. Dez Coward
3. Bob Griese – Had enough of this biased UM homer calling the games! Hope ABC kicks this old POS to the curb.
Re: the fan survey in Good Shizzy
98.2 percent of Ohio State fans claim Michigan as their biggest rival, compared to just .9 percent for Penn State.
83 percent of PSU fans think Ohio State is their biggest rival.
You’d think they’d see the disconnect, but even after this year, which gave us even more reason to not care about them, they still don’t.
new flash found out joe pa died 8 years ago was replaced with a t-100 with lifelike rubber skin…they are officially are sloppy seconds or thirds
Yeah but who else would be Penn State’s biggest rival? Truthfully, Penn State has been the most important conference game the last 4 or 5 years, except for the year TTUN was number 2. Other than that, Penn State has been the main competition in conference.
Who cares how good Penn State is? They’re not our rival. Never will be. The Big Ten can suck it for trying to push them on us. They are a consistently decent to good conference opponent, and that is all.
I feel like that 0.9% had to be fans from FL who didn’t understand the butterfly ballot.
Penn State fans, it’s not our fault you don’t have a rival, but please, stop thinking we care about you more than any other conference game. There is only one The Game.
Best Rivalry in Sports. (Not PSU)
That’s true but at the same time there’s nothing wrong with have more than one rival. Hell Michigan has 3 that they play every year.
I have been in the ‘Shoe at least 40 times and have never really seen the terrible treatment of visitors that is attributed to our fans. I was at the Iowa game and the Hawkeye fans behind us were assholes. We didn’t say jack to them and when we tried to congratulate them on a good game, they took off. Maybe I just always sit in the polite Buckeye fan section.
same here and why the hell do they take their smelly ass shoe off! i dont understand hillbilly jibersih so i didn’t want to talk with them after the game
Owning shoes is a sign of extreme wealth in Iowa.
I thought it was those black ‘n gold suspenders….
the overalls are like owning an Armani suit, the shoes or on Cartier watch level in Iowa.
These guys kept shouting over the O-H-I-O with I-O-W-A. I guess they wanted us to know they could spell.
The Iowa fans did that at the Iowa-TTUN game this year…I disliked it because of its unoriginality, but also when they did the “W”, it sounded like 70,000 hicks surrounded by 500 miles of nothing with corn cobs in thier mouths screaming “DDUUHHBDOOO” with no synchronization.
Wait, isnt that what it was?
Desmond Howard.
I was the sports editor at The Lantern in 2001 and the writers for the Michigan student newspaper were CHEERING in the pressbox. Losers.
From my time at OSU: 1a. Braylon Edwards 1b. Mike Hart
There are some UM players I could imagine being alright people off the field — not these two. Seriously, douche bags.
From before my time: Gerald Ford. WTF did this dude ever do other than pardon Nixon? Garbage president.
From when I was growing up: Woodson. A cock pure and simple.
From post-college: Rich Rod. An ass of epic proportions who is ruining this rivalry by making TTUN terrible.
Honorable 1-and-done mention: Sam McGuffie. Hated all the hype surrounding him and just knew, entering the season, he wouldn’t last. As my friend said moments after McGuffie got concussed during last year’s game: “You can kill a midget in Ohio, right? I mean they’re not REAL people, correct?”
1. Dan Dierdork
2. Mike Hart
3. Chad Henne’s tattoos
Theres only 2 right answers here, Tom Brady and Desmond Howard. Brady for winning SB’s and banging models, Howard for the pose. They can both die and I’d celebrate.
Chris Perry ruined my freshman year.
Mike Hart. Talk about a bonafide douchebag. He was all talk, and the biggest thing he had going for him was his ball protection… until he coughed it up twice against Florida and laughed it off like the D-bag he is.
But I can’t hate him too much with his respectable 0-4 record against us.
I can’t hate him too much either since he did beat the ‘Gators, who I hate more than the Wolverines.
I’ll never hate another team as much as Michigan, but it is easier to see them beat a team like Florida when they can’t beat the Buckeyes. I was cheering for an asteroid to hit the stadium that day.
I have a hate/respect thing for UM. However, I just plain hate the ‘Gators. I hate their smarmy coach, their eye gouging players and their fans who haven’t shut the hell up for three years.
they will soon be very very quiet. tebow christ and urban are soon to be gone from the swamp.
I agree, about Florida to a point. It’s nice to know Michigan is a rival that’s porgram has been relevant more than 15 years. I never like Spurrier and don’t care much for Meyer. I do think it’s funny that Meyer said his 3 jobs his wife can never Veto are Notre Dame Michigan and Ohio State. But even though he’s a good coach, I think he only cares about one thing, Urban Meyer. He will risk his players health, he will choose not to discipline a player if it means he won’t win. I just don’t like him. I’d much rather have a stand up guy like Tressel. He may not be as flashy but I’ll take him any day.
Oh, I definitely rooted for them when they beat the Gators. But I still think Mike Hart is a d-bag.
For me and my siblings, its Tim Biakabafruitcake. That no-talent turd won the lottery with his 15 minutes of fame against OSU. I think my 125-pound sister has more talent at RB than he did.
My vote is for the Sklar brothers – especially the bald one with glasses. Everyone knows the other guy carries them. My 2nd vote is for the ugly Michigan women (redundant right?) that go to school there. I mean seriously, have you EVER met a hot, or even cute chick that went there? Me neither… HATE!
How about Brady – I was suprised he did not make the list. I still hate him on Sunday’s
Wasn’t Brady the one everyone up there wanted benched for Drew Henson? I just never thought much about him because he was never AWESOME up there. He didn’t become TOM BRADY until Bledsoe got hurt.
To the day I die I will hate Desmond-f*cking*-Howard with the fire of a thousand suns. Whoever the idiot was in the athletic department that thought it would be a good idea to let that @ssclown into the stadium with Nick Lachey was obviously b@tsh!t insane and I hope that they were beaten senseless by zombie-Woody Hayes.
my thought exactly!!!!!!!!!!!! they should be beaten or worse yet be made to hear that song. i would say even worse have to listen to a lachey song but they like to cuddle together to his music
I hate racism.
?
^ I’ll second that….
so racially, you are pretty cool?
It was just all this hate talk. I had to mix it up.
Go Bucks.
1. Desmond Howard- I remember going up to NYC for Thanksgiving and watching the game at my aunt’s house. I was fucking heartbroken and I still hate him.
2.John Cooper- You could make the entire scUM team blind, mentally disabled (please excuse me here. Yes I know I am wrong), and wheelchair bound and he would still fucking lose. I was trying to find the crew that cut down his tress and burned him in effigy, to help out.
3. Anyone from Ohio who “plays for the other team”. (As in scUM).
4. I would say Woodson, but I was out to sea for the game in ‘97…we got it over radio, and that day sucked. (My first few weeks on a ship- Indians lose game 7, I was sea sick for a week, My (bitch) of a girlfriend dumped on a pay phone in my first liberty port, and we lost to scUM. Talk about being a real loser).
So
I hate their stupid ass corny fucking helmets. I hate their corny stadium. I hate their fight songs. I hate their fans. Darth fucking Vader went there. I am in the Navy and cringe every time I have to put on my PT gear since it is blue and gold. I swear I am the only jack ass at the base gym in non-Navy PT gear every day. Some version of Scarlet and Gray and Black.
I swear to God, in the late 90’s, I was the only kid in the neighborhood with a Buckeye jersey. All my friends had Fab Five jerseys. I had Lawrence Funderburke. And unresolved anger issues.
Don’t get me twisted, I love the Navy. I love PT. I just don’t like my Gold PT shirt.
God Bellisari and Rambo sucked ass.
espn hates the buckeyes was fliiping through saw that on classic (mary may a.k.a. trez alberts must of picked that one)wtf is classic about that see the 2001 game is on next. . . espn hates the buckeyes see they got the 03 05 and 06 games on friday really 03 another wtf moment
God bless Krenzel, Wells and Mo Hall…
Rest in Peace Mrs. Spielman
Amen. The Spielmans are in Buckeye Nation’s prayers.
May be no consolation, but I think Saturday will be for Mrs. Spielman.
wow, horrible news. she was always the toughest of the spielman family, hands down. i hope chris and his family know that they’ve got the support of everyone who has ever even heard of them and all they great work they did.
Not really your guys domain, but hoping to see a nice little write up for her from the guys here at Elevenwarriors….
Sweet, my first 11W mention. Completely lucked out with that one, no way am I that funny.
Ann Coulter… Stupid alumnus
I hate all the people mentioned above as well, but DickRod takes the cake for me. He understands nothing about the tradition of the school he coaches for, and his ignorance is insulting. Also, its more fun to hate someone who is still there.
It’s funny that Ohio State fans grasp this about DickRod, but Michigan fans either are too dumb to see it or are in denial. I know last year DickRod basically said the Ohio State game was just another game. I heard him say that at some point last year, not he is Mr Rivalry. Tell me someone he doesn’t realize how important THE GAME is this year for him to keep his job.
I still hate the old bitch who sat behind me at the Biakabuttooka game, tapping me on the top of the head while saying “I thought OSU was the second best team in the country!!!”
Then the cherry on top of the entire stadium chanting “Eddie, Eddie” while folks were leaving the dump.
And the helmets.
God, I do hate them all.
Never want to see Biakabutuka’s name again. I still think Cooper’s defensive plans was to not tackle Biakabutuka.
oh and i hate michigan because they are literally the smuggest sports fans in the entire world when they are winning
I’ve been to 25 or so games here and there since the early 80’s. Saw Kolesar, Crable, Carter, Biakabetuka, Harbaugh, Woodson, Howard…on and on. But the one I dislike the most I never saw play a down in college.
Dan Dierdorf is one big arrogant ass, which pretty much sums up their entire fanbase.
On the other hand, I am a huge fan of Mike Lantry.
The um girls in the photo were laughing, btw. Shot was right after Beanie’s last run of 17 yards in 2007. The um seniors were the joke I assume.
This is such a beautiful thread. All of you guys have such exquisite memories. Thank you.
Tai Streets. Tai Streets. Seriously, we were in total control of that game.
TAI STREETS TAI STREETS TAI STREETS A MILLION TIMES TAI STREETS
1) Jim Mandich. Deal with THIS. You are a douchebag. A fucking Traitor.
2) John Kolesar. Another Fucking Traitor
3) Desmond Howard. I hated when he posed. Another Fucking traitor
4) Elvis Grbac. Cry like a bitch you fucking traitor
(are we noticing a pattern here yet?)
5) Charles Woodson. Another Fucking traitor, but what an impressive game he had.
Non-Ohio Honorable mention: Mike Hunt…errr I mean Hart. Never saw anyone trash talk so much and produce so little.
Oh, and by the way, Biakabatuka didn’t make my list because by 1995; making the trip up to Ann Arbor every other year; I was numb and prepared for the worst. Thanks Coop.
I dated a TSUN fan in high school (didn’t know it till it was too late) bitch broke up with me over IM, cowardly just like a true skunkbear… No in reality I would have to say it is honestly Smokey Manningham, don’t know why just always rubbed me the wrong way.
