I am so late to the thread here, but yes I am a huge Michigan fan (depressing as of late) and an alum. I still have tons of love for my school, but I love it more when we aren't in the toilet athletically!!!!!
I'm a Miami grad and have always been indifferent to OSU. I don't remember anyone liking OSU down here in southern Ohio while I was growing up. It's different now.
My DH however, grew up in c-bus and then went to UC. So he's been surrounded by OSU asshole fans his whole life and he HATES Ohio State more than anything in the whole world. Hate hate hate lol.
That being said, he has no problem with fans like you @starry, you're an alum. It's all the passive OSU fans that can't understand why he's a UC fan that really get him going.
Is a big 10 newbie allowed to post in this thread? Maryland alum here. however lots of my family and one of my best friends are in Ohio, so I cheer for the Buckeyes. My mom went to Miami, and I have relatives that went to Miami, Dayton, Wright St and Ohio, but no one actually went to Ohio State! But everyone roots for Ohio State.
