That's....odd.

I just saw the news. They showed shots of the riots down at OSU last night.

I know those places. I know who used to live in some of those houses. I think I even recognized a partly burnt-out car.

Wierd.

Having recently moved to Ohio ( July 2000 ), I'm not that much of a Buckeye fan (Heck, I'm still not used to my team of choice (Purdue) being any good)...

I have to say that I think the fan behavior is getting out of hand, though, and I hope that the students that were arrested or who wind up arrested face severe penalties.

I agree that the students should and will face severe consequences. However, the problem is that a lot of the rioters weren't actually the fans. A lot of them were just troublemakers who took advantage of things for more trouble.

Ah, well.

Okay, point taken....

They're not necessarily fans--- but given the general population in that area, I'm willing to bet that a significant percentage ARE students.

I like the discussions on the news: any student caught in a riot? suspend for a year + any charges. nonstudents? criminal charges + being barred from enrolling for a year.

I will say this-- OSU fans are generally easier for me to tolerate than Notre Dame fans, because most ND fans that I've seen end their support after football season...

True.

Heck, I'd even be happy with straight out explusion + charges if the student can be ID'd doing active major damage (lighting a car, throwing bricks, etx.)

And I will agree on the ND fans. I know one guy who claims to be a devout fan, yet the only time he even wears their colors or talks about it is usually around the time they play OSU or a bowl game.
