Born and raised in Ohio.
Attended OSU at one of the satellite campuses for a year and a half (got 95% of my undergrade core finished).
All of my family still in Ohio.
All of my family that attended college (90%) are OSU graduates - I'm the only one that had to finish at a different school.
Current love interest is an OSU graduate (respiratory therapy) who moved here to help take care of her grandparents who moved here to retire.
Will apply to an OSU PhD program - next year - that's the only path I'll take in which I'm willing to leave my current job.
And, no I don't own a single OSU item... no shirts, no hats, no key chains, no bumper sticker, no flags, nothing.
Only reason I'm still down in this backwards ass cesspool of a city is because of the job. If I could find something up there that paid what I make down here - I'd be gone. Would like to get up to the Cincinnati area - problem is jobs. Either lack there of, or they just don't pay enough. Cleveland is a pit, Columbus is ok, Toledo is... well.... Toledo, not much of a job market and not a very nice city over all. Dayton is nasty.
