As a fan of one of, if not THE most hated college football program in America, I find that a lot of people like to talk smack about THE Ohio State Buckeyes.
To each his own.
Some people have their reasons for hating the Bucks, while others just hate us cause they ain't us.
But please do not compare your historically average team, to my historically great team.
Regardless of your reasons for hating Ohio State, you cannot deny that the Buckeyes are one of the most successful college football programs in the history of football. With eight National Championships and 38 Conference Championships, it's hard to find a team that compares.
So unless your team happens to be Alabama, Notre Dame, Michigan, Pitt, Southern Cal, or maybe Oklahoma, please refrain from trying to tell me my team is inferior to yours.
If your team is one of the 91/129 teams in the FBS that has yet to win a National Championship, do not tell me that your team is better than mine.
If your team is one of 103/129, that has won, one or less National Championships in history, do not try to compare your one National Championship to the Buckeyes' eight.
If your team has a 50% or less all-time winning average, refrain from comparing it to OSU's 72% all-time winning average which is 4th in the nation and 5th in all-time wins (875).
If your team is one of the 92/129 that has never produced a Heisman Trophy Winner, don't compare your team to Ohio State who next to Notre Dame, has produced the most Heisman Winners in FBS history (7).
This is in no way will me belittle other teams, or telling people that they should be Buckeyes fans. I respect your team of choice, so do not disrespect mine.
So instead of telling me that the Buckeyes suck (since history proves you cannot back that statement up), instead tell me how great your team is going to be in the future.
Tell me about the players on your team that are going to make a difference next season and in the seasons to come.
Tell me about how much you have improved over the years and how one day you'll be regarded as one of the greatest teams in FBS history.
Tell me about why you have so much pride and faith in your team.
And back it up.
