Who the fuck am I going to root for if I move to Ohio??

[madinmaryland]

Dayton, OH, no less??

[KamaAina]

1. THE Ohio State University, of course

and the Cowpies. Most Cowpie fans can't find Arlington on a map, anyway. Even if they live in Texas.

Professionally, Dayton is pretty firmly in the Cincy orbit, which poses problems since the Reds are division rivals of the Pittsburgh team my Phillie-fan childhood friend used to call the "Pyrites". On the other hand, they'd come to town frequently. And hey, the Bungles actually made the playoffs last year!

Locally, the Dayton Flyers usually offer decent A-10 hoops action, and the single-A Reds affiliate has sold out every game since the stadium opened: the longest sellout streak in pro sports!

Overall, I'd be more worried about the abundance of teabaggers than the sports scene.

5. Hey. I can drive 25 miles from my house in Maryland to find an area infested with teabaggers!!!

Frederick!!

Teabaggers and Klanners. Actually, aren't they one and the same?

6. Closer than that - Damascus nt

[El Supremo]

2. Zip

I mean the:




BTW, you ain't a Buckeye fan anymore? Don't blame you.

4. DUDE! The Ohio Northern University (and I know have a reason to root for the Denver Broncos)...

Zac Dysert. (google him, if you don't know why).

[madinmaryland]

3. THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, of course!

[Condem]

7. My old college town!!!

Just act like your an alum of UD, mad. Beats the fuck out of Ohio Northern!!

[madinmaryland]

9. Any good bars there?

[Condem]

13. I haven't been back in 30 years. But there's a couple I remember.

Flanagan's was a good spot back in the day. And Timothy's right by campus. But I hear all the action is now in the Oregon District!

8. you will be close to Lexington

Calipari is in your dreams.

[Auggie]

10. Dayton?

Root for sanity. Here's the republican douchebag who would represent you in Congress:



"In 2012, Turner called for a missile defense site on the east coast of the United States, to defend against missiles that would be launched from Iran. The east coast site would be the third such site, joining two others on the west coast that are designed to defend against an attack from North Korea."

11. If it's a business move, I'd go with your competitors.

You can always go out of business and have to move back home.

12. Whoever you root for now?

I say that as a Cubs fan who lives in Braves territory. If nobody, just sit back and watch 'em all until you find a team or two that you like.

14. Kentucky

Not to far down the 'new' road.
Will be fun this year.
Take care Mad.

15. Reds and Bengals

You won't be living in Cleveland- you will be living in Cincinnati! Close enough anyway...

16. Miami of Ohio over in Oxford has a hella good hockey team!
