Ohio State

Good one. Although the food is certainly better than the Army or the Marines. Maybe the Air Force in their country club living quarters eat better ...?

Hmmm, a few things I can think of:

The band Pretenders were from Ohio.

LEGENDARY golfer Jack Nicklaus is from Ohio.

Youngstown OH used to be a great steel town but has been sadly ignored and is a dump.

President Ulysess Grant was from Ohio.

Cleveland Browns used to dominate the NFL. They have sucked for 50 years.

U. Mich. - something to give Ohio State fans something to focus on and HATE 365 days of the years, besides their lives.

Oh, sorry, Chop post said Ohio good for something!?

Joe Walsh is from Ohio. There might be some pretty forest left somewhere in Ohio.
 
My mom lived in Cleveland a few years back. She calls it the dark ages. Winter was a monster that demoralized her completely as it approached. On one visit up there, me and a friend of my brothers who joined us went to see The Go Go's. That was an excellent show. The opening band did the usual and said, "Good night Detroit!" Lots of boos but the locals were probably used to that sort of thing. We met some local blue collar girls who showed us around an entertainment district called The Flats. We were having a good time and I was my usual, "fast talking Texan" self. The girls then turned on us. They decided we weren't impressed with them (my hunch anyway) and started accusing us of having girl friends back home and that we were up to no good. I laughed because I didn't have a girl friend back home (I was coming off a divorce and was on a hiatus from love) and I wasn't up to no good because I wasn't hitting on them. They finally dumped us and we had a good laugh about that.

Good thing the game is at Jerry World with a roof and not the Cotton Bowl.

Remember the U Houston vs. Notre Dame ice bowl in the Cotton Bowl ? Think it was Jan. 1, 1979.

Watching the DFW weather now. Wintry mix expected beginning early am Thursday. Possibly 2-5 inches in spots. Turning to rain late Thursday afternoon.
Friday will be dry and mostly clear. Above freezing. If you are driving to DFW on Friday from the South, west or Southeast you should be good. But be safe, drive with caution and use your good Longhorn Brain. :)

I had a boss back in my consulting days who lived in Dublin, just north of Columbus. I used to go there several times a year. If I flew in after 8 pm, it wasn’t easy to find a good meal. There was a terrible Mexican place near where the president of the consulting firm lived, and it was one of the only places open late. I ended up eating there a few times simply because there weren’t many other options.

Culturally, Columbus always felt to me like a very watered-down version of Austin — kind of lacking the vibrancy or creative spark. Just my take, though!
