I hope there isn't the halftime locker room fiasco like last year. There's no way Toledo is as thuggish as Ohio, but you're asking for trouble when you have to send both teams through one narrow corridor right in front of one particular fan section at the same time just after what could be some emotional play.

I vaguely remember reading about this, Ohio players were taunting our fans?...would you mind to refresh our memories?

Oh, yeah. I remember that. Ohio was up handily at halftime. As they bounced off the field at halftime, some Ohio players thought it would be a really good idea to come over and taunt the App State section of fans. I was in that section pretty close to the field. I recall the one-armed salute that a couple Bobcats sent our way. The fans heartily booed the Ohio players.

I think I recall that we left the field before they did. And, both teams had to pass through the same gate to get to the locker room (stadium design flaw if you ask me). I recall App players turned back and saw the Bobcats' antics. I recall thinking they are going to wish they did not do that. I was right.

That #51 was the worst. Very cocky. SO glad he left that field a loser with his tail between his legs. I'm sure he thought they had it all locked up going in at halftime. Losing could not have happened to a better guy.

OU was rude.. man.. just rude last year... I was shocked seeing that from the stands... Thankfully, we shut them up sent them home sad.

Jovan Johnson (51) balled out that game. I've rewatched it three times and I thought for sure he would be on an NFL roster this year.

So cool that they had to leave the field the same place when the game was over. We let them know how we felt.

Don't forget one of their assistants taunting Mondo on their sideline after he got trucked. It's easy to see where the culture starts with those clowns.

Their head coach was rather douchey...I just had to look up the head coach on wikipedia because I couldn't remember his name and found this hidden gem:

"In 2005, police in Athens, Ohio found Solich passed out behind the wheel of his car, which was in drive and facing the wrong direction on a one-way street. Solich was convicted of drunken driving, resulting in a $250 fine and driver's license suspension.[4] He attempted to fight this based on testing that revealed the "date rape" drug GHB in his system. His attempt to withdraw his plea failed"
