Most schools already show respect for any service academy.Sad that OSU had to put out a video asking for their own fans to not yell YOU suck or the other crap they ususally do.
Ohio State is a really nasty hostile place for opposing school’s fans to visit, from beer being thrown on you as you walk to the stadium to dodging burning trash cans and couches as you leave.

Too bad OSU didn’t ask for courtersy to all fans in that video.

I should have said most schools not in the same conference as a service school.
A conference rival trumps everything else since you play them every year and develop the same hatred toward them as you would any rival.

Still I think it is great for OSU to realize how terrible they act toward opposing schools and for one game at least try to act civil

I had the same reaction. On many campuses, fans don’t have to be *asked* to treat opponents with respect. I’ve seen some of the video of Ohio State “fans” and it reflects very poorly on them.
