Ohio Stadium unveiled a new texting hotline this year, 69050, for any fan wanting to report an experience with the game. (While it was ambiguously defined, the central idea was a hotline to report unruly or dangerously drunk people via a simple text message addressed to Brutus. Overall, it's a good idea that helps fans feel safer.)

But Diana Moskowitz of Deadspin filed a Freedom of Information Act request for every text message sent the the hotline... and they're as fantastic as you'd expect.

You'll have to head to Deadspin for the full game-by-game breakdown (it's worth it), but here are some of my favorites:

johnny manziel?
agreed
tell him to stop
brutus fire gene smith too.

Ohio State fans also loved just sending text messages with "Brutus" being the only word in the body. I'm a chocolate milk aficionado, and $9 seems a bit steep for chocolate milk, too.
