Yeah, Columbus is NOTHING like Austin. 'Cept for the whorns, Austin is attractive. Crowded, but attractive. Columbus has nothing going for it.
SoonerinabileneOh sweet jesus. Its like watching the special olympics in high definition on here now.
If you like your girls, "meaty", then Columbus is pretty cool I guess.
vs.
When I said Columbus is like Austin I am referring to the university and its influence on life there. And also referring to the fact that I hate the Buckeyes, have always hated the Buckeyes-it was drilled into me when I was little. Just like I hate everything Horns. Everything in Columbus revolves around the Buckeyes. The press treats the players like they are in the NFL and Super Bowl champs. And if they aren't national champs the press treats them and the coach like overpaid pros who never should have lost. The fans are over the top fanatical to point where often sportsmanship loses out. The city of Columbus water department cut off the water to the hotel Michigan stayed at, 2 home games in a row, in 3 years. When Bo questioned the second time about "the water main break", the water dept employees actually admitted to it.
As far as the overall Austin-Columbus cities, they are light years apart.
The greater Austin area has 1.8M people and is truly an international city at this point with the technology industry. It's been called the little Silicon Valley. Columbus has 800K. The days of Austin being a college town that revolved around UT ended in the 1980s. A&M's largest alumni group is in Austin for example. There are really no comparisons between the two cities.
Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.
I think matchups like this are great for us and great for College Football.
I'm looking forward to this one.
I agree, the local media and bars are the only ones that act like UT is everything there. Most of the people that I knew there did not go to UT nor had any connections to UT. At one point the (second) firm that I worked for we were down to one UT person in a 12 person office, most were were from outside of Texas, one from Corpus Christi went to Yale. UT no longer dominates everything in Austin like it used to.
The greater Austin and the greater Columbus areas are just about the same size. 34th and 33rd largest in the nation; the cities are just about the same size, too, at 15th and 17th largest. Both are state capitals; both have large campuses. Ohio State is the largest in the nation. Both are tech driven. The Battelle Institute of Columbus is the largest research group in the nation. Business Week has named Columbus best place in nation to raise a family. Columbus is fastest growing business area in technology. Silicon Valley is largest; Austin is 2nd; Columbus is fastest growing.
I lived in a very nice area of northeast Columbus. I also hated the Buckeyes.
This home and home has been penciled in for several years. What changed to make this news?
I've been to a tOSU v Mich game before and the hatred was for real. Very ugly. The stadium is huge.
I plan on going to both of these games.
I'm working up a Rondo thirst.
You are right-it was penciled in; apparently a contract was signed? Is there an official date?

It's dark but it's definitely burnt orange. Probably wet. Anyway, it's clear it's a Longhorn shirt. And the point was women in Austin are much better looking than those in Columbus.

I remember watching that game; I lived in Toledo and was working at a discount store as assistant manager. Since I was the person in charge that day, all co-workers were welcome to watch the game whenever possible, in the TV department. I remember the field goal like it was yesterday. Pulling for the Sooners all the way along with a high school kid; both of us keeping our mouths shut in front of about 30 Buckeye fans also watching.
You should have heard us exhale "Yes!" when it went over the goalpost. Rest of the store was silent.
