OSU players with ridiculous claims: Where have we heard this before?

A few years ago, in 2007, when I first started visiting this wonderful blog, I E-mailed Mike to let him know that Malcolm Jenkins was lying to the media about his experience at Beaver Stadium. Here's a link (http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/21443422/). He said the following, referring to OSU's trip to Beaver Stadium in 2005: "That’s probably the first time — the only time — that’s ever happened. ... People cursing you and spitting at you, and things like that.". Perhaps he was just embellishing things a bit to make sure his comments made it to print, but it came at the expense of our fans and I simply can't put up with that.

Well, fellow Penn Staters, flash forward to this year and check this out (http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=87743&SPID=10408&DB_OEM_ID=17300&ATCLID=204827225). Apparently, some kind of creepy urban legend is starting to catch hold. Here's a little excerpt from the linked article:

Sometimes, the Nittany Lions faithful might carry that [passion] to the extreme. That becomes evident when visiting teams almost have to run a gauntlet down a walkway underneath the stadium to get to the field.

''It's something. They're throwing stuff at you, spitting on you, yelling everything you can think of at you,'' Spitler said, smiling. ''But it doesn't bring you down, it really fires you up and gets you going. I think it's a positive in a way for us.''

What in the world is going on here??? I'm a Penn Stater living in Columbus and I have to tell you... the trash talk about our fans, stadium, and gameday environment is getting a bit outlandish. Frankly, I'm starting to get pissed off about it. What's the freakin' deal with this crap?

I figured I'd put up the first post addressing tickets for the Homecoming game (against Michigan) this year. Feel free to respond to this post if you're either looking for tickets or selling them.

I'm looking for a pair, by the way, so feel free to E-mail me at Brent_wcu@yahoo.com if you're trying to sell them. I definitely want to be present when the ridiculous streak comes to an abrupt end.
