This vocal group of Ohio State fans on Twitter wouldn’t contradict themselves in 2016, would they?
Social media outlets like Twitter are an incredible platform used by most all to voice their opinions. Whether right or wrong, we can all say whatever we please and there is nobody there to really hold us accountable.
Until there is, of course.
Thankfully, there is a thing called the search function. I went to Twitter and typed in the words “Alabama deserve division” in hopes to find 5 year old tweets by Ohio State fans complaining about Alabama being in the 2011 National Championshi p without winning the SEC West.
ICYMI: Tweets of the game – SEC Championship
For those that haven’t turned on a television in days, Ohio State is now playing for a National Championship in the College Football Playoffs without winning their own division.
This vocal group of Ohio State fans wouldn’t contradict themselves in 2016, would they?
First, I explained myself to my followers.
So, in 2011, Alabama got to play for the National Championship without winning their division or conference. People were mad. Real mad.

Among those that were real mad were Ohio State Buckeye fans. A few that expressed their mad on Twitter in 2011 or early 2012 during the game

So I found a few of those super mad tweets.

Today, after Ohio State got a spot in the CFB playoff without winning their division or conference, I went to those twitter users...

I worded my tweets to them exactly like they worded theirs in 2011. And I bet you can guess what their responses were.

I simply just replaced the word Alabama with the words Ohio State. Oh, how their opinions have changed. I will share shortly.

Simple enough. These Buckeye fans had no idea that I had their tweets from 2011 or early 2012 saved. John seems to think it should be allowed now that his favorite team is in the exact same situation.
Your first Buckeye that was mad in 2011 but is TOTALLY FINE WITH IT NOW is @Browns2212 pic.twitter.com/Znt08XsSyP

Dana thought I was tweeting him because I’m scared of Urban Meyer.
Your 2nd Buckeye that could not comprehend Alabama deserving it in 2011 but is TOTALLY ON BOARD now is @brklynbuckeye pic.twitter.com/24QnYJqSX5

Mikey ended up changing his twitter handle and putting his profile on private after being exposed. That sounds like a joke, but it’s not.
It's no longer #Fixed and it's DEFINITELY different this time, right? @_Mikey_J_ pic.twitter.com/U5avnkZBGe

Markus now thinks things like body of work and resume’s matter instead of winning your division. I wonder why?
We have now arrived at @IamMarkusNeff14 who could not bear to watch the National Championship just 5 short years ago. Now? It's all good. pic.twitter.com/9SlIoPlGb7

It’s definitely not BS when it happens to Ohio State. Only when it happens to Alabama.
Back then it was BS. 5 years later? Definitely not BS. Definitely not. @jayemdubbya pic.twitter.com/NKZF7TLY3K

That brings us to the final Buckeye fan that I tried to bait. Much to his credit, he mostly stuck to his same opinion from 2011. While I set out to give him a hard time, I do think it’s worth nothing that at least one of them isn’t contradicting.
I'll give @clevelandfandon credit. I tried to bait him, but he stuck with it pic.twitter.com/vh8ibN7IH4

I can’t say that I got too many of them to reply after this, outside of the guy that shut down his account, but the two I can send out are still pretty hilarious. Justin clearly doesn’t know how the search function works, but I accepted his congratulations anyways.
LOL! dude went back through 5 years of my tweets?? I didn't know I was worth that kind of effort. I'm honored. Congrats, on your Twitter win https://t.co/z996L1lxUV

Dana thinks showing him words that he typed is harassment, apparently
A Bama fan just dug up a tweet of mine from '12 and is harassing me. Who has time for this nonsense??

Even rival fans come together to hate Ohio State.
