It’s all about football today as the Buckeye’s take on Oregon in tonight’s championship game in Texas. And while Texas might be the state that most think of as THE football state, Kate Hairpoloulos of The Dallas Morning News thinks that might be wrong. She thinks Ohio has some pretty good reasons to lay claim to title.
She says,
With Ohio State playing Oregon on Monday night in Arlington’s AT&T Stadium for the College Football Playoff National Championship, its presence is a reminder that Texans aren’t the only ones with proud football tradition. From the “Friday Night Lights” feel of Massillon’s Washington High to the mighty The Ohio State to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton to the coaches and players it has produced, the Buckeye State’s football culture is ingrained.
