Between the Indians/Reds/Blue Jackets/Browns/Bengals/Cavs, is ohio the least successful state in sports and do ohio sports fans experience the most disappointment?
No one was alive when the baseball teams were relevant.
The hockey team stinks.
The Bengals make the playoffs and lose in the first round every year.
The Browns are the Browns
The Cavs can't win the big one.
Even the pride of the state, osu is 1-4 in championship games since the turn of the century.
Is it time to move out of this sports dump?
Is Ohio the worst state to be a sports fan?

Re: Is Ohio the worst state to be a sports fan?
I'm going to let you in on a little secret....Just because you live in Ohio doesn't mean you have to root for any of it's teams..Were not living in the 70's or even the 80's anymore...You can root for whoever you want...But some still feel if there is an OH behind the city of a sports team they have an obligation to root for it...This is just me, but I don't subscribe to that theory.

Could be. They sell bus tickets every day. I'm sure there is a seat with your name on it.The Gloaming wrote:Between the Indians/Reds/Blue Jackets/Browns/Bengals/Cavs, is ohio the least successful state in sports and do ohio sports fans experience the most disappointment?

Re: Is Ohio the worst state to be a sports fan?
I'M DANG PROUD TO BE A FAN OF OHIO SPORTS. I FOLLOW ALL THE OHIO COLLEGES.
DON'T FORGET MOUNT UNION IN THERE AND ALL THEIR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS.
I'M A DIE HARD BUCKEYE BUT I LIKE CINCY, AND ALL THE OHIO MAC TEAMS.
I FOLLOW THE REDS, BUT THAT IS AN EFFORT OF LOVE. MUCH LIKE MY BENGALS.
I WATCH ANY OF THE LOWER LEVEL OHIO COLLEGE GAMES IF I CAN FIND THEM.
BUT YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE PRO TEAMS STRUGGLING.BIG TIME.

Re: Is Ohio the worst state to be a sports fan?
Once again, parents keep your children off the internet.
Blue Jackets (yes they stunk last year, most of their roster was injured for about 75% of the season). They will be a playoff team this year.
Cincinnati Reds: They stunk this year(injuries, terrible manager) but they won their last WS in 1990, and of the last 6 years, i think they've been in the playoffs 3 or 4.
Indians: They are getting better, doing the right things to become a winning franchise again.
Browns/Bengals: (Not a fan of either) but they are getting better I think.
Ohio State football: 8 national championship, 37 conference titles. Numerous other NC game appearances. No other school in the nation can compete with how many championships OSU has won in all sports combined, it's not even close.
MAC Teams: There are several very good MAC schools in Ohio across all sports.
Mount Union: 11 DIII National Championships!
Columbus Crew: A great MLS franchise!!
Cavaliers: Best team in the NBA Eastern Conference, without question.
So, what's so disappointing?
