Re: OT: Urban

So the last two head coaches at OSU have had scandals that will probably define their career. At what point do we start questioning Gene Smith's ability to control his department?

He's nothing but a puppet. Urban is the boss.

Re: OT: Urban

I meant unique because Penn State is in the middle of nowhere not in the 14th biggest city in the US with no Pro sports presence other than the blue jackets. Penn State players go to frat parties and bars and get red carpet treatment. OSU star players go to high society private parties downtown Columbus rubbing shoulders with big money folks who own all the bars lol Being in a City is different remember the old USC team?

Okay gotcha. Yes, in that manner it is unique, you're right.

Don't forget though, Columbus isn't a pro sports town. And it never will be. Ohio State was here long before the NHL or MLS ever came knocking. Columbus hadn't sold out Nationwide Arena the night before Game 6 against the Washington Capitals. I know that because they called me, a Pittsburgh native and Penguins fan, to buy tickets the night before the game. Pro sports are just a filler in this town until spring ball starts or camp opens in August. That won't ever change in Columbus.

The USC comparison is somewhat similar, but let's not pretend Hollywood and Columbus are the same. But yes, there isn't another college team in a major city that gets the attention that Ohio State gets. And the other thing is that Columbus just recently started to become a large city. Sure, it's booming now. But my aunt lives here. She moved here 25 years ago. It was a ghost town then. Not so much now. Ohio State became a large thing long before Columbus ever was thought to grow in the manner that it has.

Re: OT: Urban

There's another factor here, and this is no way defending the seedier aspects of major-college football. But these fall weekends provide monstrous tourism dollars for the communities involved. Try to get a hotel room in State College in short order on a home weekend. Restaurants, shops. You can take it to the bank that the natives are going to turn white if the cash cow is threatened.

I'm 25 bruh. Food Hall is great, but they stop serving food too early there. I want to stop in for a taco on the way home at 2:00 AM.

Cleveland native.

You live in Columbus? Food Hall is only a couple months old, so you must have been here recently.
