Has it been settled that this will be the moniker of all things fan related with regards to the Bobcats? I hear it and, it grates against my sense of Bobcat  individuality.

     How many fan bases are called …….. Nation? It’s not unique. It doesn’t capture the feeling that I get when I think about our teams and university. It’s an easy catchall and I think we can do better.

     When I think about being a fan of Ohio University sports, I think about a brotherhood (personhood?) of people with a shared educational experience or, at the very least, people with a special  insight into the place that many of us feel so strongly about. Of course I don’t want to turn away perspective fans that are just becoming aware of our school, that’s not the Ohio University way. As a matter of fact, I would argue that we, as Bobcats, are an inclusive, gregarious lot.  That said, I still think that we can reach out to prospective new fans and, embrace the ones we have with something that identifies us in a more original way.

    So, who’s with me!?!

I regularly use #bobcatnation on twitter to reach out to the Ohio fanbase. If someone can suggest a better phrase to identify our fanbase as I will gladly start using that.
 

IMO, #bobcatnation sounds better than #Ohiofans or #ohiobobcatfans or #athensohiocollegesportsfans... When I use Bobcat Nation I don't believe the entire nation is cheering for Ohio. It is just words to unite a group of fans.

#bobcatnation and #ouohyeah are the two easiest ways I have found to communicate with other Ohio University parties on social media.
 

One of the many terrible things about the group of people at Ohio University who want O$U to have our name is that they are so clueless to the value of the "Ohio" name they would be just as quick to donate it as they would be to ask even a dollar for it.
 

I kinda like Bobcat Hollow though. We can call the Convo "Holzer Hollow!"
