This is a great forum.

First of all, I'm a diehard Bucks fan. I am not a troll and I do not insult, disparage, or call others names. I cannot stand posters who, for lack of a solid argument, result to that. I love talking B1G football, so If you want an objective OSU point of view, I can supply it. I live in the belly of the beast, Columbus Ohio. Yes, Columbus, not Cowlumbus.

To the admin. you've set up a very user friendly and complete site. It's one of the best one's I've seen.

So, let me know if this is cool, guys. I'd like to hang here.

PS, if my avatar is offensive, let me know. It's a great movie that show anybody can change for the better.

I am at a loss. I guess I am not sure what movie that is from. Your name is another head scratcher. So curb stomping and picture of man with a swastika on his chest is your first attempt on this forum. Not my cup of tea but I am only a pleeb here.

The movie is American History X. Ed Norton's character is Derek Vineyard, a skinhead that changes his thinking and way of life at the end. Great flick and should be checked out. But, not a movie for everyone.

I saw that movie in the late 90s and it was powerful, recognized the avatar (of course, the film title is also right there). If anyone wants to know more, there are clips and readings available from multiple sites.

IMO it's fine if you want to come here, opposing view-points are always good. Blatant name-calling is not accepted, for the most-part though. Also if you do bring information please bring the appropriate source and cite that. You are allowed to voice you opinion but have something to back it up (and preferably not a fox news article).

Other than that it's all good. Don't be offended if you see "ohio", "suckeye" or "bucknut" thrown around and you won't hear me say anything about "tsun" or anything else. "walmy" isn't offensive to me other than the fact that it isn't appropriate for myself and several others here. I do think that the nazi-swatchka on your avitar may be going a little too far though...

Derek...

First let me say that I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding this site, the functionality, etc.

As for you being here, WELCOME.

We had originally set this site up as a Michigan-Fans-Only type thing, but after a few months of that, most understood that we were in need of some differing opinions. So, that all being said, you're more than welcome to hang around here and post as frequently as you'd like.

As for the avatar, I don't really mind it, simply because I'm very familiar with the movie (as well as the scene that is the 'verb' of your nickname/handle). At the same time, we've already have evidence of a few that aren't as familiar with the movie, so you'll probably have a decent amount of explaining to do for the first couple weeks lol. But, again, I don't mind it.

That's the point of this forum - not a whole lot of rules.

We're all in here to talk football, and occasionally stray to the subjects that most men enjoy discussing: women, booze, women, other sports and women.

Did I say women?

Anyway, again, welcome to the forum.

Have fun and......GO BLUE

Thanks, 2nd. Sounds good, I don't subscribe to insulting others, especially when it comes to a sports forum. I don't mind "ohio." Woody kinda started that kinda thing anyway. Not much Bucks buzz on Fox. Should I check MSNBC? I kind of see how you're leaning.

On my avatar, I have others to chose from but that's the most powerful one, and if you've seen the film, you would understand that that tattoo became a scarlet letter.

Thanks! I don't mind being bashed as an OSU fan on a UM forum, the other forums out there are terrible. Bash me for my views, not my loyalty. I do love talking OSU/UM football and I feel we're all in for a bumpy ride the next few years!

Nah, not a whole lot of bashing going on in here.

You have a fellow OSU poster in here with you, WhatsYourDeal, and I think he can attest that there isn't much, if any, of that going on in here.

You'll get called out for bullshit comments, but not who you root for. lol

Eh...I don't think you will get bashed for being a fan. You will hear negatively toward Ohio but what do you expect. I think as long as you are objective you will do fine.

Love Ed Norton. Might have to check out the movie.

It's a great movie, really.

"Disturbing", at times, but probably his best acting (Fight Club being right up there too).

Wasn't WYD banned from here Admin? I saw people talking about it on mlive.

no disrespect to the bucknut, but i hated that movie. a bunch of punks and thugs and their social issues. but welcome anyway. go blue!

A'las not everyone has seen it, or is willing to see it, or will view it as great. All we see is a guy who looks like a skin-head. We don't know that plot of the movie we just see a punk.

I have to believe that he was too, he hasn't been here in forever.

Great movie, Edward Norton's best.

welcome to the forum. My avatar is not a hollywood story... it's a scientific fact ha ha!

Looking forward to your thoughts and insight on Michigan and O$U football.

Thanks, Willie! I know what I'm in for.

American History X is not for the faint of heart and not a family show. But, along with Primal Fear, one of his best performances.
