I know I am kinda butting into a conversation but, I hate cities, too many people. I like living where the predators I see are not human.
I grew up in the country, on a country road with probably 3 houses within a mile radius. It was fun in a lot of ways, but I understand why we moved when I got a little older. It sucks not being near anything.

To each their own I suppose. I like not being near anything. I have the basics (gas and food stores) fairly near me. Anything more specific is only an hour or so to town.

Life is definitely a lot different now than when I was growing up obviously. With online ordering and delivery it's rendering things like malls pretty obsolete. However, we were still 15-20 minutes from the closest grocery store, and it wasn't even a great grocery store. I lived about 4 miles outside of a small rural town of about 900. To this day there are two stoplights, a convenience store/gas station, a pizza joint, and a bowling alley. I still have family there, and was out there last month. I definitely don't mind getting out there and away from the city from time to time.

I grew up in the country too, right next to my grandparents' dairy farm. I could live in either the country or city, just not the burbs.

Want to either be in the action, or if I have to drive everywhere, at least be able to do whatever the hell I want and not have neighbors around.

Columbus and Cleveland >>> wherever you live. Fact.
will say other than weather I 100% agree. Lived in and been to other cities. While the actual city might not be the greatest (at least in Cleveland), the suburbs are as nie or nicer than others I've seen. For 1/4 the price (or less).

And cannot think of anything I'd want to do in other cities/suburbs I cannot do here.

It's not like Cleveland doesn't have some nice parts to it. You can sell me on weather sucking but the south has every bit the shitty areas that most any Urban city center has.
City of Columbus nicer than Cleveland no doubt. But as mentioned when it comes to suburbs either is similar to any other area.

Other than weather, as you also alluded.

I've never lived in the country

City living until I sold out to the suburbs

Yep. I remember Columbus not being nearly as bad as Cleveland so figure Cincy even better. Would bet most who rip these cities have never been.

If you take the cities on a beautiful day, Cleveland and Columbus are as nice if not nicer than anywhere I've been in the south (Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Nashville, Charlotte, Dallas, etc) other than San Antonio and Charleston. Those are probably my two favorite cities in the country outside of Ohio.

Charleston is nice

Nashville is incredibly overrated

Shit Vegas is cheaper

Going with Ohio State to win, and to take the crown.

Clemson hasn't played a quality schedule all year round. I think OSU is battle-tested and has so many ways to beat you. With everybody getting back to health, the sky is the limit for the Buckeyes.

while I do think there is something to this, and think OSU has faced more tough opponents, OSU has not seen a team as talented as Clemson. while we might not know how great they are because of opponents, we don't know they are not a great team.

Hell, Clemson could come in and blow Ohio State out again or vice versa. This game is hard to predict bc of how dominant both teams have been throughout the season
