COLUMBUS, Ohio — It’s hard to travel in the Buckeye state without seeing the scarlet and gray of The Ohio State University.
On ball caps. License plates. T-shirts.
Nearly everywhere you look in Ohio, OSU’s presence is felt.
The arboretum where I completed a run and the golf course where I played a round last week in northeastern Ohio proudly displayed OSU flags and signage, while the pizza joint right outside my hotel in downtown Columbus is named OH Pizza and Brew — the OH presumably the first half of the famous Buckeye chant: OH-IO.
