Just when you thought the Ohio State and Michigan rivalry wasn’t what it use to be, this happened. Ohio State has put out a T-shirt that says, “I’d rather shower at Penn State than cheer for the Wolverines.”
Those are fighting words.
And that’s just one of the shirts sports fans released in a series that mocks the victims of Penn State. The “I’d rather shower” series, not approved officially by any university, also takes on the rivalry between LSU and Alabama

Schools use Jerry Sandusky’s abuse as a rivalry burn and it’s just sad
By Graham Watson | Dr. Saturday
More than two months ago, a grammatically challenged LSU fan came out with a T-shirt that read: "I'd rather take a shower at Penn State then support Alabama."
It was a horribly insensitive piece of apparel that could only be topped by Ohio State and Iowa fans doing the same thing.
That's right, some think tank at those schools thought it would be funny to print up shirts that said: "I'd rather shower at Penn State than cheer for the Wolverines." Nebraska is used in place of Wolverines for the Iowa shirt.
Sigh.
I'm not going to go into some long diatribe about how wrong this is. I think most people — rational people — already know that. Making a T-shirt referencing sexual abuse Jerry Sandusky inflicted on children is just (fill in the blank).
But hey, it's a rivalry, right?
Rivalry or not, it is a low life scum sucking bottom dwelling action.
