Can you deny the fact that OSU steals fan support away from Akron in Northeast Ohio? I know everyone wants to root for a winner, but for some reason the Browns are still capable of getting fan support.This is how I see it: If OSU starts to lose more often and becomes the next Indiana in the Big Ten, those buckeye fans in the Northeast Ohio area will no longer root for them. I think the only reason people around here root for OSU is because they have a winning tradition. They can't say they root for OSU because of the Ohio in the name because I don't see anyone around here rooting for OU. If OSU's winning tradition ends, probably 80% of those fans will stop rooting for OSU. I'd like to see Akron steal some of that 80%
