I hope you get some jail time Gannon. I hope your cell mate, is a rabid OU fan. A 300 pound behemoth, named "Bubba", that's got University of Oklahoma tattooed on his di@%. Late at night, rest assured, that ain't no bar of soap. Your a true POS!!!

An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches

Dude needs some serious jail time with bubba. My daughter, born and raised in ohio, ended up a meechigan fan and married a michigan man and now lives in ann arbor. I still love her as much if not more than the day she was born. I love parking my buckeye red transam in their driveway showing my osu front plate.

WTG, BuckeyeStu.....unconditional love. I married into a Penn State family, not as bad. Pick sixes every fall help me with that.

And that's a winning mental image of your Trans Am dressing up their driveway, well done sir.

This reminds me of Friday night lights when Toby Keith goes batty on his son about fumbling.

Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.

Gutless bastard. Let him rot.

My heart breaks for his son; no child deserves such a fate, especially from the hands of a parent.

Here's hoping this piece of human excrement gets jail time and his son grows up and does the exact same thing to his ass when he gets older......................I honestly want to head down there and kick his dad's ass myself!!!!!!!

Battles are sometimes won by generals; wars are nearly always won by sergeants and privates. Football is no different, the guys down in the trenches win the games, not the coach.

Kids will do anything for attention these days. Geeze.

That's way excessive and the guy should serve time... Spielman has mentioned how his Dad told him "you aren't going to mich, you are going down to Ohio State" and he says he's not sure what he would have done if he went against him. I'm sure it wasn't going to a felony but he didn't want to find out.

I would tell my kid, "not under my roof" just like a tattoo, earring profanity etc...do what you want after you move out or turn 18. My boys are only 6 and 4 but they love the Buckeyes so far and go with me to b-ball games. We're really close and they already know what the Bucks mean to our family so I doubt it will be a problem...but, If they later rebel and want root for mich, I will have an issue with it, at a minimum they won't be bringing any mich gear into the house.

Sorry if that makes me to ridged, but I was raised that way as well...no long hair, tats etc. if you want to express yourself that's great and you'll have that freedom when your 18, but not in my house... I never wanted the long hair, 80's tails etc or tats so it was easy for me to abide by the house rules.

from another site

"Big deal. When I was a kid I was routinely beaten with a horseshoe and flogged with a live electric wire simply because I was a Washington Federals fan instead of rooting for the NJ Generals. It all seems so meaningless now, but back then the USFL was really taken very seriously."

Sorry i know this is a really messed up scenario....

I just couldn't stop laughing at this

knucklehead

Kid probably rooted for OU because his dad was abusive.

Friend: Why do you root for OU? Isn't your dad an OK State Fan?

Son: Cause #&*@ him, that's why. (stealing a line from Good Will Hunting)

Also with regard to an earlier Spielman comment, it wasn't fear but respect that made him choose OSU after his father called him a traitor for considering tSUN. Another quote regarding that incident, "I didn't really know his true passion for Ohio State until that night, And then I knew." He also says that it was the best decision his dad ever made for him.
