So Urban is in the Cleveland parade
- Thread starter HailtoPitt
- Start date
Finally, someone showed the courage to inject nationalism into this heated discussion about parade attendance.
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Lmfao. You are such a little fan girl, you get defensive for no reason.
How do read what he wrote, and think he was trying to diminish the Pens accomplishment??????
He was simply responding to the people that said, the Cavs didn't have 1.3 because metro Cle isn't that large. He was pointing out people were coming from all over the state.
Nothing to do with the Pens, stop being such a fan girl
I agree. Sure, it's fun to rip on Cleveland, but it has its good points - just like most American cities.
This is America. You're free to be as wrong as you want to be.
While you're at it, you are also free to insist that nobody in the metro Detroit area cares about Michigan football, nobody in greater Atlanta cares about UGA football, nobody in Milwaukee cares about UW football, nobody in New Orleans cares about LSU football, etc.
How much better do i need to do? How about this:
THE OSU Alumni Club of Greater Cleveland - the 2nd largest group of OSU Alumni in the world next to Columbus....join our club today!
Who We Are
We are the Ohio State Alumni Club of Greater Cleveland. Our goals are to further the university’s interest in Greater Cleveland and to build and renew friendships among Ohio State alumni and friends in the area.
Outside of Greater Columbus, more alumni and students live here than anywhere else in the world. Thus, the Ohio State Alumni Club of Greater Cleveland serves as an important bridge between Cleveland and the university.
Or this:
CLEVELAND- Urban Meyer, Cardale Jones and The Ohio State Buckeyes were honored during Monday night’s Cavs game at Quicken Loans Arena. There was a roaring standing ovation for the team that won the National Championship last Monday night. Jones, who is from Cleveland, spoke to the thousands of fans and tweeted a photo of himself at the game.
Don't laugh at the Cavs fans. What do you think would have happened in the Burgh if one of the Steeler or Pens heros did the same thing ? It would not go over well here with the minute discussions of each and every aspect of our teams that goes on.
Here's a video of that NC celebration. All of the players and coaches that were introduced are Cleveland/NE Ohio natives INCLUDING URBAN. Might have been the loudest ovation in the arena all year.
OSU is the #1 team in the entire state but Michigan has a lot of fans on Ohio's North Coast and Cincy has a lot of UK and ND fans.
OSU and Nebraska were the only 2 teams to "win" every zip code in their own state in that Facebook Fan Map thing but you can easily see there are far less OSU fans in Cincy than in Cleveland.

Agree - pretty accurate. There are a scattered few Michigan fans throughout the state but most of them are just trying to standout and get on the majority's nerves. I have a nephew in the NW part of Ohio. The rest of his family are strong OSU supporters which probably influenced his thinking to "go against the grain" as a Michigan "fan." Problem with many like this is that their easy to detect as many can't really tell you too much about the players/roster or coaching staff. He can tell you that Hairball is the coach but that's about it.
If Cleveland had the professional success of Pittsburgh, one would think the big following of the Bucknuts would not be nearly as large. OSU is not connected to Cleveland as much as the nits are not connected to Pittsburgh. Despite the thinking that PSU is the state university, it isn't in following. Philly is indifferent to the nits quite frankly and has Temple as a local as well.,
Agreed - if the Browns, Cavs, and Indians won a bunch of championships over the past 40 years, then Cleveland people would not feel as much of a need to latch onto OSU's success.
Disagree. People latch onto a winner, period. The state of Ohio has always been football crazy, OSU football is an institution in Ohio with a great winning tradition, tons of legendary players and coaches, many from the Cleveland area. There is plenty of room in every fan's heart for multiple winners.
If OSU went on an extended streak of losing, mediocrity, and national irrelevance, then those non-alum fans that you're talking about might not care about OSU one way or another. But I don't see that ever happening barring a NCAA death penalty scenario.
While two differing markets, Cleveland and Cincy, Cincy has had moderate success and the Reds have been a success and the Bungles have been good from time to time. My point is Cleveland winning at the pro sports level takes Columbus much farther away.
