January 15, 201511 yr My impression from the numerous denizens of the Queen City I knew going to college in Ohio is that maybe 1 in 15 cared anything for Ohio State at all... My mom grew up near Columbus and when she was alive was a big OSU fan. I got it from her (even though I live in NKY). When UC played OSU, however, I rooted for UC.
January 15, 201511 yr Only 41% of the TVs that were turned on Monday night in the Cincinnati DMA were tuned to the game. A number that even I' date=' a non-tOSU guy, found shockingly low. Columbus' share was over 75% I believe, off the top of my head.[/quote'] Close. 72.
January 15, 201511 yr I don't know a single person that is an Ohio State football fan and a UK basketball fan. I think people just assume it happens since both fan bases are very large. Very small % if I had to venture a guess. Tons of them in the Ashland area.
January 15, 201511 yr But I was led by the B1G to believe that New York was Rutgers Country... :laugh:
January 15, 201511 yr I don't know. I think pro sports are infinitely better than the college product. Outside of the NBA (which I still think is at worst equally as entertaining as the college version), there isn't a single college sport that isn't absolutely dwarfed by it's professional counterpart in both popularity and excitement/entertainment. I'm sure I'm an outlier, but the older I get the more I enjoy collegiate sports across the board and the less I enjoy the pro versions. I didn't watch 9 innings of baseball this year that didn't have the Reds playing. I didn't watch one full NFL game that wasn't involving the Bengals. However, I've already watched the better part of at least 20 NCAA games that didn't involve Xavier. It is just different to me. May come with having spent 6 years in a College Athletics' senior position, but I LOVE College Sports and only like my regional pro franchises. Well...and the Sixers, but they barely count and are thoroughly unwatchable. In short, I'm sure I'm just weird.
January 15, 201511 yr I am a UK basketball fan and an Ohio State football fan. I don't care about Ohio State basketball or Kentucky football. From NKY though...

Very small % if I had to venture a guess. Outside of BGP, I know very few. One of my co-workers is a big Ohio State fan & Kentucky fan, but it's because his daughter went to OSU.
