In regards to the other poster from Ohio, I'm not sure where you live maybe Toledo or something but from just about every place I've been people love Ohio State in Ohio. In the far North and South you will find some haters, but everyone in central Ohio loves the Bucks in my experience.

Brutis, go back and read what I wrote.

Trust me, its mostly the Columbus crowd (and alums scattered throughout the state) that give two sh*ts about the buckeyes.

The OSU fan base is in Columbus, and alums around the state. In Cincinnati I'd say they're the 4th or 5th most popular college hoops squad behind 1) OSU-Cincinnati, 2) Kentucky, 3) Xavier, 4) OSU-Miami, and 5) OSU-Columbus. I don't know if that equates to hate (probably only from me), but it certainly isn't a rabid following. If we throw in all amateur hoops you're probably behind a few HS teams too.

No such thing as OSU-Cincinnati or OSU-Miami. Avoid repetitive posts.

They are state universities in Ohio, thus Ohio State University Cincinnati.

I must really not be able to concentrate on work if I'm responding to edstimes.

Wrong. Ohio University is also a state University in Ohio, but is not called Ohio Sate University-Ohio University, in the same way Michigan State is not called the University of Michigan-Michigan State University. While they are all state schools, Ohio State is not affiliated with the University of Cincinnati or Miami University.

Here's a question, why is it that every female who filled out a bracket in my office pool referred to Ohio State as "Ohio" on her bracket? I don't understand. Do women see the name "Ohio State University" and immediately abbreviate it as "Ohio"? It's inexplicable.

[SFHoya99]

Seriously, Ed, when did the semantics bug crawl up your ass?

ed, you're in the wrong here. UC, Miami and even OU all fall under the Ohio state universities system. Much like Berkeley, LA, SD and Davis all fall under the University of California system. While California happens to refer to all their schools with the UC prefix, Ohio (and many other states do not). However, it's certainly acceptable to refer to the schools this way (in fact I've heard that used as justification by a number of Ohio State grads for their excessive emphasis on the THE). If you want to get technical, OU would be referred to as OSU-Athens and Miami would be OSU-Oxford. Ed, I've got 22 years of living in the buckeye state behind me, you've got one year of impersonating a possibly fictional character on a hoops message board. I think I'm gonna go with my credentials on this one.

Whoa, DaJuan, you have a job? Isn't this some sort of NCAA rules violation? Shouldn't we alert the New York Times of this?

Find me one example--just one will do--of Miami being referred to as OSU-Miami, or Cincinnati being referred to as OSU-Cincinnati **

[bubbrubbhoya]

Edstimes, do the asterisks in all your posts mean that they don't count? Because that would make sense.

My only point is that it is entirely improper to refer to the University of Cincinnati and Miami University as OSU-Cincinnati and OSU-Miami (or OSU-Oxford), respectively. The original post should be summarily deleted **

[bubbrubbhoya]

Hey edstimes, take this ad-hominem attack and[font=Verdana EDITED

Guys, keep it clean or it gets locked down! WBH[/font][/color]]

[hoyanick]

I think it should be locked down

[SoCalHoya]

Lock this crap down. This is creating bad karma.

[prhoya]

But the girls are cute... ;D

[PDRHoya99]

Well, this is a rather silly discussion that has veered very far off topic.

Ed, I think in a way we are both right, Ohio higher education is a decentralized system, with each school responsible for their own governance, however they still have an overarching board of govenors that coordinates all of the ohio schools: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_and_universities_in_Ohio, so my shorthand for the schools, such as OSU-Athens, while not technically correct, is essentially how the system works.

Now, can we just get back to important topics, talking about the hoya girls talking trash, and whether or not they are hot (I vote yes).

[Bando]

We can't lock this down. We need the hot redhead to come on the board so I can ask her out. Haven't you guys thought this through as much as I have?
