Let the state of Ohio wallow in their misery...They haven't won anything since Ohio State stole the National Championship from The U in 2002

I can relate in regards to Mattingly. I grew up here and was an Astros fan, but the only individual player I cared about was Mattingly. Once he was gone I no longer cared about the Yankees, but I still get a lot of flak when I tell people who my favorite player was or that his autograph on my baseball is my favorite. That includes the ones I got when I met Stan Musial, Harmon Killebrew, and Rod Carew. I know, I'm crazy that way.

I would temper my "I hate Ohio" because they're are a couple of very good Texans fans that hail from Ohio!!! *ahem* Yankee in Texas and also Adam!! These are Blue Crew members through and through!!!

While on the one hand I got pummeled with ice cubes in the back of the head at the game there at Paul Brown Stadium, my host treated us very awesome (yes, terrible grammar), in addition we were row ONE and he paid for our hotel rooms (thankfully in Covington KY and not that Nati). We woke up early Sunday morning and he picked us up, took us to his house where we had a fantastic breakfast w/ Mimosas... & would not let us spend a dime in his sports bar...

SHOUT OUT TO BRADLEY and his G/F!!!!!

Bottom line, they're are some good folks there.

ticks me offf. well houston, i'l see you in a few years lol.

Funny no one assumes I'm a newcomer to this party. Probably because I've been wearing the same gear for years (literally the same smelly gear) win or lose. Never ashamed, never embarrassed & quick to stand up for my team.

Now, if you've just got to Ohio & they don't know you yet, that's a different story & I wouldn't let that crap bother you.

If you were too embarrassed to wear your Texans' gear, well that's what you get..... live & learn.

Sounds like you had an awesome time there Bill. Still don't like Ohio though. Uuugggllyyy.

[D1DAVE]

Ok this is a good one for sure! I was raised a Browns fan in good old Canton, Ohio. Still am one for sure. I moved here in 1979. When the Browns moved and Bud took NFL football out of this town I was floored. When the Texans came into the league I gave them a shot. Loved the stadium, ownership and tailgating. When Cleveland came to town this year there were more Browns jerseys in my tailgate spot than Texans jerseys. I wore Texans gear. I love them as much as the Browns.Ok maybe more. So wear your gear dude. There is a reason I left Ohio. Great state to grow up in. And the amount of Steelers fans there now is disgusting to say the least. Turncoats one and all!!!!! Go Texans!!!!

Yeah that's pretty ugly.

Its called selective photos. Drive through that state some time.

If I was President and I had to pick a state to dump all the nuclear waste in Ohio would be it.

I don't need to drive through it, I lived there for 11 years. I have hiked dozens of trails through forests and hills, spent time in the Amish country, been apple picking at gorgeous orchards, and visited the major cities as recently as July. However if all you did was drive through it, then I can understand why you don't know anything about it. If someone judged Texas based on their journey down I-45 then it would be readily apparent to everyone how limited their view is and how foolish they sound.

I could care less if you said Texas is ugly or anything else. People are way too sensitive nowadays. Who gives a rip.

I married a girl from Ohio... she lived there for 40yrs, and states today, that it was 40yrs of time wasted when she could have been in heaven. If Ohio was a body part, it'd be the armpit... not as bad as a rectum, but when the wind blows right, it can be just as smelly. And yes, because her family still lives there, we visit far too often. If you put Pasadena's chemical plants in the Texas Hill Country, minus sunshine 7 months out of the year, you'd have the Northeast portion of Ohio...

Are you sure? Boy, that doesn't sound good.

Wow... rough crew

[amazing80]

Look there are nice areas in ANY state, but the overall state is terrible. ESPECIALLY Toledo, that place sucked.

Hey now, my wife was born in Ohio and lived the majority of her life outside of Pittsburgh (yes she's a Steelers fan) and the only weird thing she's done is marry this Redneck from Houston. But you know it seems to work since we just celebrated our 15th anniversary last week.

As for Ohio, I've been to some nice parts and I've been to some crapholes. I think it's about like anywhere.

As for getting crap, try being an Astros fan near Philly...especially the last couple of years when Wade traded all our best players for peanuts to the Phillies. Or try being a Texans/Oilers fan when neither team has EVER beaten the local team, the Eagles.

I get sooooooo much crap up here, but I finally got something-for some reason I don't see the "dream team" in the playoffs.

Just STOP with the common sense and rational thinking.

Here we are trying to have a perfectly ridiculous conversation about how crappy Ohio is and you have to try to inject some sort of positivity.

Is positivity even a word?!!?

I hate you people so much.

This begs the question, how did you become a Texans fan if you lived in Ohio your whole life?
