No, because it makes us look like jackasses. However, I have long since made my peace with the fact that it does so... I neither apologize for my fandom nor do I feel the need to refute anyone when they say it's fucking annoying. Because it is, but I can also separate that they are not necessarily talking about me when they lump all Ohio State fans together. It's a comfortable shorthand that lots of people use when referencing sports fans.
