FanHouse Buckstache

"Old School" is the College Football FanHouse's irregular look back at the rich history of college football, usually through the medium of embeddable flash video. Check out the Old School archive for more famous plays and infamous hair.

A little tribute to The MZone, the recently departed Michigan blog that had a brief fling with fame when Colin Cowherd ripped off some of their content, in the form of a 1980s Ohio State commercial heavy on the Buckstaches:



Oh, yeah, and there's AN ENORMOUS INSECT ROBOT THAT'S GOING TO KILL US ALL.

Sometimes the "wisdom" of crowds really amazes -- and disappoints -- me. Indians outfielder Shin-Soo Choo is South Korean, and before he was promoted to the big leagues this past Monday he was subject to some extremely misguided and insensitive treatment from fans in a visiting park. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:

When Class AAA Buffalo, the Indians' top farm club, played in Toledo, fans apparently associated him with Seung-Hui Cho, the Virginia Tech senior who killed 32 of his schoolmates before killing himself April 16.

"Some fans said bad things," said Choo before Monday's game. "It's pretty close to my name. My name is spelled Choo, and his name is Cho."

When asked what the fans were saying, Choo wouldn't say.

"It upset me when a couple of fans talked like that," he said.

Choo and Cho are from South Korea.

This is one of the most asinine things I've ever heard. I'm all for freedom of speech, but hurling off-base insults from the safety of the stands is one of the biggest acts of cowardice I can imagine. Nice job, Toledo, you're representing Ohio well -- I'm guessing those fans were wearing a Buckstache.
