OSU announced that new football jerseys would be scarlet, with scarlet, white and black stripes on the sleeves. The old jerseys were scarlet, with scarlet, white, black and gray stripes on the sleeves.
The Columbus Dispatch did a poll on the issue and announced it had received more response, 734, on this matter than any other poll. 79% of the respondents were opposed and did not want OSU to switch from gray to black stripes. One response was:
".."I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t even concentrate on typing this message because I’m so angry."
If you look at this controversy politically, it might forecast a Republican victory in November '06 seeing as how folks seem to be so opposed to change.
OR
It might forecast a Democratic victory in November '06 because folks want moderation. Something our conservative Congress hasn't got.
