Indiana People vs. Ohio People
SIAP, but here's an eyebrow-raising excerpt from Bob Wojnowski of The Detroit News comparing Indiana people to those from Ohio.
"Wolverines-Boilermakers is merely the opener in a huge one-day clash between the neighboring states of Michigan and Indiana, a friendly, respectful border rivalry. It doesn’t quite garner the attention of the Michigan-Ohio spat, largely because Indiana people are proud, simple folk, while Ohio people are dolts with horrific behavioral issues."

they are also known cooler poopers

I think Wojo was covering that with "horrific behavioral issues" without getting too graphic, because the Detroit News is a family newspaper.

I had a half-eaten hamburger thrown at me in rural Indiana-- and all because I dared to cross in front of a guy using the crosswalk in a parking lot. I am pretty sure Assholes are everywhere.
September 22nd, 2017 at 11:52 AM ^
I'm sure there are, but, just like with serial killers, ohio outpaces the rest of the region.
September 22nd, 2017 at 12:22 PM ^
How do you know those guys weren't from Ohio??? Fuck Ohio
2ndly- you have to do something pretty dumb to get a hamburger thrown at you lol
Indiana - You're Alright!!!!!!

and it wasn't a whole lot better than OSU. They trashed peoples tailgates while they were at the game and treated Michigan fans as bad as OSU did when I visited there, and they don't even have a pedigree.
September 22nd, 2017 at 8:50 AM ^
since 1992. Not once have I ever been treated bad by Purdue fans. My sister went to Purdue and sat in their student section with a Michigan shirt on during the game in 2004 and no one even said a word to her.
Purdue fans and OSU fans aren't even remotely close to being in the same category.
September 22nd, 2017 at 9:29 AM ^
I grew up 35 minutes from Purdue, went to Purdue, and wore Michigan clothes to every Michigan v Purdue sporting event I went to. Even Drew Brees was happy to joke with me about it when we had a summer class together.
Purdue students generally just want to be left alone so they can drown their misery in alcohol and fattening food. You would too if you lived in West Lafayette.
September 22nd, 2017 at 9:54 AM ^
Maybe you or others can comment on the analysis of a friend of mine who taught at Purdue. In explaining the difference between Lafayette and West Lafayette he said:
"West Lafayette has alcohol and meth, while Lafayette just has meth."
Discuss.
September 22nd, 2017 at 10:17 AM ^
That was true a long time ago. West Lafayette is becoming pretty affluent. You can tell because the high school there, while still be relatively small, is starting to be extremely competitive in the non-classed sports like cross country, tennis, and track.
So instead of meth, it's probably pain pills now.

cities and campuses --- west lafayette is much better than columbus. the people are much better also.... been to football agmes at both never a problem at purdue but at ohio state--- someone shit on my hood the first time and key-jobbed and let the air out of tires the second.... now i rent a car in ohio to avoid that ---- what a bunch of assholes....
September 22nd, 2017 at 11:20 AM ^
West Lafayette is still a far better college town than South Bend.

Think it was the last time Michigan was in Purdue. People there were totally fine.
Went to Happy Valley a long time ago, couldn't have been treated any worse. People getting in our face, flicking us off, etc... And were just walking down the street not saying a word.

C'mon man, i was born and raised in Ohio and proudly so. Every state has there idiots.
P.S the last 2 Michigan Heisman winners were Ohio natives.

We shouldn't mistake the pretend tribalism of sports rivalries for the real thing. People in Ohio are fine. They root for a different color laundry than we do.

I vote NONE OF THE ABOVE

Ohio is the butthole of America. I live near the Indiana/Michigan border. Indiana folk are very "simple" to put it mildly.
September 22nd, 2017 at 7:56 AM ^
I live in and love Ann Arbor, but until Michigan figures out how to pave its roads and keep those that are paved in good ondition, I'm not shitting on other surrounding states who have figured out something so basic.

Something is messed up...see my post below, and I only clicked once.

Most of my posts are appearing with nothing in the subject line or the text box. Anyone else have that problem? I have to post multiple times for text to appear. This started a few weeks ago.

Getting your own drupal site and see if that solves your mystery.

I live in the northern Cincinnati suburbs and they do a remarkably shitty job of clearing I-75 even after the smallest of snowfalls.
I have lived in 12 states in my life (I was in the military - we move around a lot), the last 11 years in Ohio. My wife and I both agree that the people in Ohio are generally the unfriendliest we've encountered to date.
We thought the people in Texas were the friendliest.
September 22nd, 2017 at 11:50 AM ^
Which northern Cincinnati suburb do you live in? If I ever run into you or your wife, I promise to be friendly toward you, unless you are a shitty driver.
September 22nd, 2017 at 12:16 PM ^
We are up in Mason but I commute up to Dayton for work. I tell people the year I spent in Iraq was safer than driving up and down I-75 every day.
