Hook 'em Bucks!

When is texas gonna learn that Ohio is the real football state. Sooner or later Texas will catch up.

[johnnie]

1. This sucks

No Texas fans?

[Texasgal]

3. We're getting loaded

from our loss....and getting our nooses ready...:(

[jakefrep]

2. Has that really changed in the space of a year?

Ohio won't be a real football state until the high schools start building 20,000-seat stadiums for football.

4. We have 70,000 one in Massillon, Ohio

Eat it.:P

[johnnie]

9. Massillon IS football

It has always been

[sasquatch]

5. Another Buckeye beat down

:)

6. Well are you just busting on UT fans or all of Texas?

Cause if it is all of Texas I have nothing to say.

[sasquatch]

7. Only UT fans and Texas "Southerners"

The Texas Westerners are still cool in my book.

8. Only UT fans and Texas "Southerners"

The Texas "Westerners" are still cool in my book.

[johnnie]

10. UT fans

Only

18. You don't know much about UT. We are called 10%ers

because only 10% of UT alum and students really care. When they play well, we'll cheer. When they lose, we just find something else to do. This is as opposed to A & M, who are called the 90%ers.

[jakefrep]

11. So one measly college football game determines this?

And did this really change in the year since OSU lost at home to Texas?

[johnnie]

12. Yes

And yes

[Broken_Hero]

13. I missed the game

except the last 8 minutes....from what I saw UT couldn't drive much, and Ohio ST was rolling well...

[johnnie]

14. I missed it too

But from the crap I got last year, it feels good to pay back.

[Broken_Hero]

15. I watched the whole game last year

it was a good game, with mistakes, and miscues on both sides...and UT just out performed....the final for the game today was what, 24-7? Thats pretty one sided...I just hope that UT is strong enough to beat Oklahoma.

[jobycom]

16. Ohio is a state?

Damn. I thought it was just a punch line.

[fleabert]

19. know the state song?

Hang on Sloopie... with O... H... I... O... in the breaks. omg. at least that's what I was told to explain why they sing it all time at games.

[jobycom]

20. omg. I have long considered that the worst song ever written or recorded

And I just looked it up on Wikipedia, and it is indeed the official state rock song of Ohio. Wow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_On_Sloopy

[fleabert]

21. thanks for looking it up!

I wondered if it was like the basement at the alamo...tall tale for the newbie. For the record, OH was the most boring state I have lived in or visited, and that list is long. I liked downtown columbus, but that's it. the rest of the state is all burbs.

[DancingBear]

22. Now, as an OSU alum I must correct you!

Even Columbus is no great shakes. :)

That said, if the choice is between living in Texas or Ohio (which is like asking to be shot or stabbed) - Ohio wins.

[fleabert]

23. I suggest you visit Austin and San Antonio- both cities have

a strong liberal faction- and have a lot of culture and are great fun. Perhaps then we'll agree. you couldn't pay me to live in Dallas or Cleaveland - Houston and Lubbock are like being tortured, and Columbus just puts me to sleep. :-) That's why I live in CA, and specifically in the Bay Area! It's incredible. (but the football sucks)

[DancingBear]

24. Oh, I've been to both a ton of times

I just don't care for the climate, topography, etc. of Texas.

And then there's the whole hat thing.... :)

As for Ohio, well let's just say the ride on I-70 into Columbus (and then out of it) is not exactly on the Top 1000 Scenic Drives Of All Time.

BTW, I LOVE the Bay Area. We'll be taking a little mini-vacation out there in November, I think.

[fleabert]

25. Climate, oh god, you didn't mention that as a deciding point!

it's hotter than hell down there! And the topography is becoming 'House Country' instead of "Hill Country" lately. Unchecked and unregulated development is a bad thing. Wal-Mart every three miles, no thank you. I would have to drive 17.82 miles to find one here... I love it. I haven't been to one in so long- I forget how bad it is. ;-)

[fleabert]

17. columbus may be a football city, but pound for pound, texas kicks

ohio's ass when it comes to football obsession! (I can speak with authority, I was born & raised in Texas, and have lived in OH)

But...seriously, the Buckeye's have some of the most dedicated, crazy, obsessed fans I have ever seen. That stadium is just an absolute sea of red on game days, and the parking lot, OMG. Kudos.

congrats on the win, you stomped us.

[sasquatch]

26. That's Scarlet not red
