no surprise...South Carolina and the state of Florida have 75% of all the ohio desertersKyleRowland Kyle Rowland
Ohio State enters court to thunderous ovation and OH-IO cheers. South Carolina gets booed in home arena. Buckeye Nation is everywhere.
Like most locals, Tradd Bastian loves the Holy City. A sixth generation Charlestonian and man about town, his allegiance, like his accent, is clear. Yet there's one thing that threatens to end the native's Chucktown romance: A ragamuffin militia from the North.
"They have gelled hair, wear cargo shorts, vertical-lined shirts, and, if you're really lucky, high black-and-white socks with tennis shoes," Bastian says. Each spring they attack the city, gumming pralines and Hyman's hush puppy samples. Their legions are strong, and their numbers are growing. They're called Ohioans.
Now, corn-fed Caucasians have long been attracted to the Carolina coast, Ohioans in particular. With their endless winters and flat acres, the Buckeyes anticipate a trip to Charleston like a prepubescent boy's first step into EB Games — awkward and over eager. For a long time that was fine; the Charleston tourist economy greeted Ohioans and their pasty flesh with open arms — until now. What was once a highly lucrative trade of historical sites, beaches, and grits for bucks, is now more like a trade of grits for grief.
