Interesting article about why Cincinnati is such an anti Buckeye "Republic." Repeats some things we've already discussed but he's got some hot-takes. Having lived in both respective cities while being a transplant to both I can testify to their respective attitudes and Cincy's brash attitude towards the Columbus sports scene.
We here in the Republic of Cincinnati, sequestered as we are in the far southwest corner of what the rest of Ohio considers Ohio, don't care much about The Ohio State University, sports-wise. Never have.
We have UC and X and even UK. The fact that OSU is barely 100 miles up 71 doesn't make much difference. We're a republic of immigrants, a melting pot of Bearcats, Musketeers, Wildcats and stuff. We don't close our republic's borders to Buckeyes. We just make it hard for them to become citizens
