Agreed. 

You know, I tried to root for Big Ten, in the form of OSU, but I just
couldn't do it. Even against Florida. 

Every time I'd start to feel a little bad for Troy Smith (who seems
like a good guy), I'd think of one of my many negative experiences with
OSU fans, and the feeling would go away. 

In particular, I'd recall being booed by a car full of OSU fans, who
passed us as we were walking to the game this past year, a mile from
the stadium, for no reason other than we were wearing NU colors. 

I mean, who does that sort of thing? No other fans from the Big Ten in
my experience. Well, maybe Iowa fans, but OSU fans make Iowa fans look
good. 

So, the images of those stunned OSU faces will live with me for a
while. Like the memory of a particularly enjoyable meal.
