Logan Tuley-Tillman: punk kid or honorable hero? We can probably guess your answer based on the color of the beer koozies in your trunk.

Just as a recap, Tuley-Tillman is the Illinois high school football standout heading to Michigan who also happened to get a scholarship offer from OSU – a letter he burned before the masses on Twitter.

Sure, torching the offer letter and broadcasting the evidence was juvenile, a fratty chest thump to the rest of the Go Blue nation. But, this being Michigan and Ohio State, Tuley-Tillman’s move was obviously freighted with a nuclear payload of piss and bile. When the pic hit Twitter, he was bombarded with assaults from all sides by a character straight from the pages of Scene: The Buck Nut. According to Yahoo Sports, he even got death threats.

This is probably as good a place as any to say that – yes of course – not all fans of The Ohio State University are front lobe-stunted knuckle draggers who somehow connect A to B and concluded they have every right to bitch about the life decision of a 17-year-old kid. We know most OSU fans are good folks. In fact, we consider ourselves a member of the tribe.

  1. Hey dumbass….You wore Maize and Blue in a Mall in C’bus?
    Really?? Not a bucknut but am a long time fan so “stupid is as stupid does”…

  2. When you can’t wear a Michigan hat or shirt in a fucking mall in Columbus without getting shit thrown at you, it is an embarassment to the whole state of Ohio. Just like when some idiot Browns Fan gets fighting mad over a Pittsburg shirt or hat. There are things out there that have meaning. Football games don’t have much meaning unless Jerry Sandusky is coaching and you are going to the showers with him.

  4. Kenny. Absolutely you should be able to wear whatever you want whenever you want. However, when you wear a rival’s clothing in a place where people are passionate (or drunk) and make bad decisions (college?), then bad things happen. Who wears the hat of a rival when you go to visit a college? The only person that does this is someone who isn’t considering going there anyways, and just wants the free song and dance so he can brag that the rival kissed his ass all while he wore the rival’s hat. It’s either that or he’s an attention whore. Both are bad things.

    If I were the coach, I would have taken one look at this kid and said, “sorry son, you’re not OSU material. If that’s the way you dress up for an interview (which is essentially what this was), than you’re not the person for us.”
