Who would have thought after Forest ten wins that Olivier would be the Donkey leader? Granted this screen shot from Charleigh on Bluesky, not sure if she created this herself or grabs it from someone else but wanted to make sure I gave someone credit for it.

Ask Fantilli I guess.Well, I enjoyed it, so, really, that's ultimately what counts, right?
Hey not anything about you but Hedger with his half truths and reaches on his comments just gets me going.
I’m not a big OSU fan like most around the city, so I personally hate when the OH-IO chant breaks out at nationwide. You’re there to watch a different team. Cheer for them.
Perhaps the difference between us is that I do not see making a comment as the same as "hating".
I'm all for the crowd doing O-H-I-O more. It's a distinctly Columbus tradition, it gets the crowd involved, it's unique in the hockey world and fans around the league are probably a bit impressed by it, and I don't think we need to collectively sing any more Bon Jovi.
It would make more sense if they were the Ohio Blue Jackets. I just don’t see the point of it at a CBJ game, everyone knows it’s not a cheer for the team. Why do a cheer for a team that has nothing to do with your home team? I much prefer the CBJ chant and I’m sure the players would as well. Agreed on the Bon Jovi front though. lol

Except for it’s an Ohio State tradition. The school has supporters and alumni all over, not just Columbus. Its presumptuous to assume that just because you are in Columbus you have any affinity for the university that happens to be there, no matter how large or tradition-laden.
I mean, it’s obvious those of us who share my annoyance are in the minority and are tilting at windmills hoping it might ever cease. But I will never stop being annoyed by it.

It's been almost twenty years since I was a Browns STH or gone to a game and I stopped watching the games or caring when they traded three first round draft picks for a POS. So don't know about now...but back when I had season tix and went to every game...I believe they did.
I am a casual Buckeyes fan, I associate Hang on Sloopy with the state of Ohio, not Ohio State.

Really? I have no freaking clue, don't like basketball or soccer or baseball and even if I hadn't lost interest in football I certainly could not care less about the Bengals. I know you are trying to make a point but it's lost debating it with me. I gave you my personal opinion about a song...you don't agree that's cool. In the end it really doesn't matter to me.

Ok I will let you have the last word.
I appreciate you trying to understand my point of view in this.

They do at Indians games. They play hang on sloopy and do the Ohio chant. They also have the Ohio letters they give to fans and show them on the scoreboard.
The Monsters used to acknowledge Ohio State-Michigan rivalry, but haven't lately. They would have done something last night during the game but I don't remember anything being mentioned.
Don't know about Browns or Cavs games, but it wouldn't surprise me. I did just remember when I went to games in the 80-s and 90's, the Browns would have the OSU marching band once a year. Not sure if they still do or not.

It's a distinctly Ohio State tradition and not a Columbus tradition. I don't see it done at other non-OSU sporting events but it sure as hell happens at OSU Football, basketball and hockey games. I can't really recall it happening at Clippers games or Crew games.
Teams should establish their own identities and things don't have to be shared among fan bases and shoudn't be forced upon other fan bases.

The Blue Jackets should only use sticks made out of buckeye wood and the starting goalie should sing Carmen Ohio before every game.
If only we could focus this OSU angst on the true enemy. The wave.

Not my favorite either, but the crowd was noticeably more lively last night so if that’s what it takes…

Oh I focus my hate on that too. And “woo.” And the chili chant (which actually is a CBJ thing, the irony is not lost on me).

We f***ing had it with Boomer!! So stupid what people turned that into that ruined our unique and fun mascot. I think they should bring him back. If they have to “reinvent” the design, so be it.
I’m annoyed by ALL the cheesy stuff at the arena. I get it, it’s part of the “experience”. I’m also someone who would prefer a tv broadcast with zero play by play (minimal “color commentary”) and mics everywhere around the ice.
It’s not JUST from Shelley’s comments about Olivier recently, that I would think coming from him, would almost be the complete opposite, but, is anybody else really not a fan of him doing games?? I think him working with Rimer so long might have hurt him, while at the same time made him seem better than he actually is.
He’s not the worst in the league the way Rimer was, he just absolutely lacks awareness about so many things that happen on the ice, and VERY rarely actually adds anything insightful. The jokes are in there organically, but it WAS noticeable just how more knowledgeable a guy like JD was, on the game itself. Shelley would be better with limited studio/intermission job.

I think just winning regularly will take care of that.Not my favorite either, but the crowd was noticeably more lively last night so if that’s what it takes…

This. Lean into the fun. If people make some memes and some people who enjoy juvenile humor are chuckling over the mascot, at least they are noticing our mascot.
