I just wanted to add that I live in Cincinnati and that I LOVE the Buckeyes...and every place I go, I see Buckeye gear representing...I was at the Cubs/Reds game last week and I couldn't COUNT how many people I saw wearing Buckeye gear...


Yes, there a lot of Buckeye haters in Cincy...hell, I work with a few...but NOBODY can give me a difinitive answer as to why they hate OSU....I chalk it up to jealousy and say 'Go Bucks'.


:oh:

I thought Braylon came off as very classy, intelligent individual. The Browns were lucky to get him.

The more I've thought about it, the more I think I can root for him. It might take a while to "forget" he played for scUM, though. But its not like he's Kellen Winslow. That guy didn't play for scUM, but he's still SCUM. I can't root for him.

As for this Columbus/Cleveland/Cincinnati thing, this is the first I've heard of this "brotherhood" between Columbus and Cleveland. Cleveland likes to think of itself as the only "real" city in Ohio. The Bucks get NO coverage on most radio stations and television networks, unless it is somehow bad press for tOSU. After Ohio State beat Penn State in 2002, nothing - only interviewing Cavs players about some crappy game they were about to play. After Ohio State beats Michigan last year, NOT A WORD. When Clarett tells the "truth" its all over - "Ohio State football should be shut down, blah blah blah." It's disgusting.

In the Cleveland Plain Dealer, you see more information about how shitty the program is, as far as discipline, than you see about how Tressel has had more Academic All-Big Ten players, on average, than Cooper did, and how Tressel is turning the program around for the better.

And you're lucky if you can find an Ohio State basketball game on TV. Granted, I don't follow the Bucks basketball, and I don't always remember to look for the games, but it seems that only about half the time I remember to look, the game isn't on TV.

During football season, if you walk into BW3 or another sports bar in the Cleveland area, you'll find as many Michigan fans as Ohio State fans. And (this pisses me off the most) after the 2002 national championship, I heard a fan on a radio show call in and say that it was great for the whole state of Ohio to have finally won a national championship, because its been "so long". The first thing I thought of was 1990 Reds, and the host of the show even asked about that. The caller stated something that I've heard from many Cleveland fans: Cincinnati isn't part of Ohio - it's Kentucky. With all the Michigan crap I see, I doubt that Cleveland is part of Ohio.

I've never heard of the issues between Cincinnati and Columbus. I just know that the "average" Cleveland fan is only a bandwagon Buckeye fan.

can you tell me where they got em? i remember after the 03 nc game there were only 2 jersey's being sold in cincy as far as i could tell. krenzel and MoC, and almost all the MoC jersey's i saw were the wrong color. probably that "garnet" color i hear so much about.

every store i go into i see a wall devoted to UC, one to UK, one to xavier and then there are 2 t-shirts a sweat shirt and a hat for tOSU.

Cardboard Heroes at Cincinnati Mills is LOADED with Buckeye gear. I just bought an indoor inlfatable Brutus for my basement last night. There is a Team Town also at Cincy Mills and they have tons of OSU kids stuff. (My daughters are decked out with stuff from there)...but, yes, there seem to be few places that actually load up on Buckeye gear...I do admit that I get most of my stuff from hangonsloopy.com

Speaking of where to buy OSU stuff, I saw a store near Toledo that was possibly more disgusting than that Nike commercial where the guy with the OSU sweatshirt is making out with the chick with the Michigan sweatshirt. It was a store that sold both Michigan stuff and Ohio State stuff. I don't remember the name. I should take a picture if I find it again, sometime.

I love the bucks as much as anyone, but what are you going to do with that?

Oh, nevermind..I think I figured it out. But just for the record, I don't think inflateaphilia is appropriate behavior for someone with children. :ohwell:

In Findlay OH there was a similar store called The OSU Michigan Store. I guess since it was in northern OH and Findlay has a bunch of corporate headquarters & factories, they were marketing to the UM fans too. Fortunately, after two years of revolting irony, they scrapped the Michigan stuff and now are solely an OSU store. OilerBuck can vouch for this absurd store.

Ugh.. what a disgusting concept for a store. And the worst thing about it was that it the entrance/exit was on the same side as the Michigan side. So, it buy OSU stuff from there, you have to walk through the Michigan stuff. That'd be like walking through a children's book store on my way to get some porn.

I know! The store was located off of the main hallway, so when you turned down the smaller hallway to get to the store, you had to walk past the UM stuff (on the right side of the store) to get to the OSU stuff. It was definitely a smaller section, but the concept of the store is unreal. I mean why not open a book store in Ireland back in the 20's called "Irish - English War Supplies" ? It would receive a similar reaction, tho I guess the football store wouldn't be burned to the ground.

I grew up in Middletown just north of Cincy and I think that there was a bigger rivalry between Cincy and Cleveland rather than with Columbus. And when I got orders to the Cleveland area I was a bit worried from what I remembered growing up. Once I got to the Cleveland area I was very impressed and it was no where near what I thought. There are plenty of Buckeye fans in the Cincy area. But I can guarantee you that there are just as many Wildcat Basketball fans as well. Shit I even remember getting the "Earl Bruce Show" on Sundays so it couldn't have been all that bad.

One thing on the Braylon Edwards thing, I thought that he handled the mentioning of Ohio State rather well. Cleveland may finally have a first round pick worth something there because he has shown respect and an understanding of the fan base.

As far as Tibor goes....well,.....I don't understand the cynical apparent hatred for those in Cleveland. Maybe where there's smoke there's fire but I would not be surprised if it just Tibor being Tibor.
