To paraphrase a former student, famous in these parts, losing to Bowling Green is "Unacceptable!" Unfortunately, we've had lots of experience with unacceptability in the flat, windswept lands of northwestern O-hi-o! [This is the part of the state where they actually articulate every syllable in our state name.]
Well, in my part of NW Ohio, you can hear the locals pronounce it A-hi-ya.
My younger sister is a linguist. She says that only in northwestern Ohio, near Toledo, do people not slur the state name to one degree or another. They enunciate each syllable clearly. I assumed that BG would be in that Toledo orbit, but maybe that's not true. It's kind of funny when she pronounces "Ohio" the way it's pronounced in different parts of the state. The most funny, IMHO, is when she pronounces it with a Cleveland accent! Sorry, but I can't do that myself.
