I’ve always been more invested in the basketball teams even though I’m a college football fan. The truth is, Ohio football is a nice excuse to come to Athens in the fall and to watch the band. For most us who grew up in the state of Ohio, we know the vacuum that is Ohio State, and it is incomparable to Ohio and MAC football. In football you need to get top tier talent at almost every position to win championships, and that’s not what Ohio gets. Now with basketball, you really only need 2-3 talented players and a just good enough cast surrounding them to make some noise. In basketball just 1-2 years can make a difference in a program. In football it often takes 3-5 years to maybe build up just 1 special team (think about Iowa or Northwestern and their cycles). So all this to say, yes I’m all in on Ohio basketball, but I’m not investing heavily into these other sports. If they do win and have success in them though, that’s just a cherry on top.
