What people are saying about Columbus Ohio..... that a football town can care about basketball.... when OSU makes it to the Final Four..  

This guy has issues... he went to Bowling Green University (three years... or he lived in Bowling Green for three years... went to college for six with no degree.. ) and is scarred for life when it comes to The Ohio State University.  Buckeye Issues... ..."the Ohio State University Buckeyes"  he writes " I prefer to focus on what I really think is important - logos, jerseys, mascots and cheerleaders"

He is not a fan of Brutus Buckeye...  he does not like the basketball jerseys... I am with him on that...the jerseys... of the cheerleaders he says  "If there is a more conservative group of cheerleaders in all of the NCAA, I have yet to see them. Jerry Falwell's Liberty University cheer squad dresses dirtier than this. The guys are showing more skin than the ladies and the basketball team's jerseys are more revealing."  as if it is a bad thing....and goes on... "But what can you say, just like everything else about Ohio State, they are simple, classic and conservative. Anything else would seem out of place."
