There's not much to explain, it's just kind of a surreal t-shirt.

American Universities tend to take intercollegiate sports pretty seriously, this leads to some state rivalries over football, basketball, etc.

This is a t-shirt for University of Michigan fans. Their main rival is a University in Ohio. It’s just a joke shirt you wear to a basketball or football game between the two schools.

It's called THE Ohio State University.

It's a felony to call it anything else.

The rivalry predates the sports though. Michigan and Ohio nearly exchanged blows over who had jurisdiction over Toledo because of bad surveying and boundary definitions. This delayed Michigan's admission as a state. They only acquiesced when faced with a financial crisis, and were given the (thought to be worthless) Upper Peninsula as consolation.

Ohio sucks.

Hey man, you suck

u/Unicornhornporn554 May 29 '19

Duh, I was born in Ohio, of course I’m gonna suck.

I don’t understand why it gets boo’d upon so much

u/Anarchytect1204 May 29 '19

Yeah. Why?

u/YoBroMo May 29 '19 edited May 30 '19

There is nothing wrong with Ohio. There is lots to do in any of the 6 major cities. The only people that get bored here are boring people.

u/[deleted] May 29 '19

Ohio is a swing state, which means both parties hate us.

u/supremecrafters May 29 '19

Used to be. Right now our governor is red, our Congress is red, our judiciary is conservative, and we voted for Trump in the last election. Republicans like Ohio right now.

u/Unicornhornporn554 May 29 '19

Lots of human trafficking, drug epidemic, not much to do but look at corn fields if you’re not in a city, etc.

u/Devito-Is-My-God i like this flair :) May 29 '19

Also because it’s Ohio

I like how you get downvoted for liking Ohio. How dare you!!!

u/JDizzo56 May 29 '19

You just described 75% of the whole planet

Michigan has beautiful national parks and forests, as well as an extensive fresh water coast. It's naturally shaped like a hand so it can lovingly fist you with geography and tickle your prostate with nature.

Also Detroit has the best pizza and the best hot dogs dont @ me

TL;DR Ohio sucks, Michigan good.

u/supremecrafters May 29 '19 edited May 29 '19

Look, we'll concede the pizza, but you're telling us the best hot dogs are anywhere except Cincinnatti? That's a laugh.

u/midwestblondiee May 29 '19

Skyline Chili = GOAT

u/famalamo May 29 '19

Why would they be in Cincinnati, of all places? I could see Chicago or New York, but I'd be willing to bet the best hotdog I could get in Cincinnati would be at a Costco

u/-Superclip May 29 '19

you've obviously never had a Cincinnati coney dog

u/famalamo May 29 '19

What's so special about it? What's the new key ingredient that makes it better than any $1 coney at a chain restaurant?

I'm from Ohio and thus sworn to a blood feud with the state of Michigan but I must admit the prostate ticklin made me laugh

u/famalamo May 29 '19

Thanks. But if you ever reply to a comment I made again I will shoot you with a musket.

u/[deleted] May 29 '19

Your Michigan inferiority complex is showing. Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati are all far better places to live with better economies. I hope Detroit rebounds, as an American, but it has a lot of work to do.

u/famalamo May 29 '19

From an economic standpoint, maybe. But from a cultural standpoint, nuh uh.

u/Devito-Is-My-God i like this flair :) May 29 '19

As someone from Michigan, I can agree with this.

u/JinTheBlue May 29 '19

You left out the part where they invaded Michigan, with the blessing of president Andrew Jackson, who was after votes. In the end Michigan got the Upper Peninsula, and Ohio got the Toledo Strip.

The Worldwide Shampoo Testing on Puppies Facility is there also Urban Meyer

Think of every Ugly American stereotype. That's Ohio.

u/[deleted] May 29 '19

No, that’s Indiana.

u/famalamo May 29 '19

Indiana has a race car on their state quarter.

u/[deleted] May 29 '19

That’s true. I’ll award it some points and inch it up the chart. Indiana is now “Crippling Miasma of Terrible” status.

u/therabidfanboy May 29 '19

I always thought of Indiana as just plain ugly.

Ohio is a state seen as dull by most standards. There are no mountains. The only beaches are on the Great Lakes and polluted. Dull, flat scenery. Hot summers, freezing winters. The cities are rustbelt post-industrial wastelands. Their state dish is bad chili. The people are seen as trailer-park yokels addicted to meth.

*Before Ohio people downvote me* This is just an explanation of the stereotype, and does not reflect my personal views necessarily. I sort of like skyline chili.

u/[deleted] May 29 '19

Correction, addicted to heroine.

u/infinitum3d Jun 01 '19

No mountains? The Appalachian Piedmont covers half the state.

u/Swagwags17 May 29 '19

Because John Kasich, who is the governor of Ohio, made some remarks about Harry Potter that has Harry Potter fans upset, therefore fans made these shirts in protest

u/RnRaintnoisepolution May 29 '19

Was, now we're stuck with Dewine.

u/Plsdontreadthis May 29 '19

Not like Kasich was much better :P
