I am an enormous Buckeye fan even though I am only 14-year-old girl. I go to a Catholic school in Ohio, and our nickname is "the Irish." You can very well imagine the huge number of Notre Dame fans at my school. There is one girl who is particularly rude about it, saying that Ohio State is all rednecks and that the players are rude on and off the field. But really, she doesn't even know what she is talking about considering the fact that her dad probably told her to say all of that. And she said that Notre Dame players are smart and OSU players are all dumb and there just because of football. That's crazy. The Ohio State University is one of the best public colleges in the nation. She said the players celebrate too much and are rude to others. How can I respond to her? We used to be best friends, but her bossiness and immaturity drove us apart. I am putting together some pictures and quotes to stick in her locker to prove how wrong she is. What else can I do? THANKS, and GO BUCKEYES!

I need some quick facts and comebacks to throw at her the next time she critisizes the best football team in the nation. THANKS!

Sounds like you go to Marion Catholic...
Just leave it alone. The fact that she's an Irish fan indicates that she has brain damage, so there's no use arguing about it.
GO BUCKS!

Ask her if she saw the Fiesta Bowl last year? How THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY gave Notre Dame the bussines. I happen to know Tedd Ginn jr. his dad and Troy Smith and she could not be further from the truth, they are very intelligent. And if you really want to get technical, at least half the team, ifnot more is black (African American)when is the last time you or anyone you know, saw a black redneck????? The last time OSU won a National Championship Craig Krenzel was an molecular engineering major with a 4.0 g.p.a. while lead the Buckeyes to a perfect record.

I think I can top everyone here, and I'm a fan of Notre Dame first, Ohio State second, so no one can yell at me. Next time your "friend" talks trash about Ohio State, tell her this:
"Brady Quinn's sister married A.J. Hawk over this past summer."
If neither of you know who those guys are, you shouldn't be arguing this subject in the first place.
If that doesn't work just wait until the Buckeyes beat Michigan on November 18th. Then you can tell her that your "redneck" team beat the team that beat her precious Irish.

I feel sorry for you... delusional and all.... You should be thinking MEEECHIGAN!!!! Go BLUE!!!
Hey at least you are rooting for someone other than Notre Dame!!!
Can not Wait to see OSU vs. UofM game.... that will be the national champ game!!! cause the loser will not be able to play in the BCS national champ game (if Rutgers / Louisville/ Texas/ Florida all stay in the picture)

ASK HER IF SHE SAW THE PIECE ON TV LAST WEEK ABOUT NOTRE DAME'S COACH AND HOW HE CUSSES ON THE SIDE LINES....HOW IMPRESSIVE. YOU WON'T SEE JIM TRESSEL ACTING LIKE A HEATHEN ON THE SIDE LINES. WHOSE THE RED NECK NOW? GO BUCKS!!!
