[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ohio State. Similar people. Similar city. Lots of school spirit. Football-centric. [/quote] Not even close.[/quote]Why not??[/quote]Taking them in your order:

Madison's population is much more friendly and progressive than that of Columbus, which isn't as far from Appalachia as you might think and gets more than its fair share of JD Vances.

Madison has a lovely location between two lakes. Columbus...doesn't. The Wisconsin campus also flows directly into the most fun and interesting part of Madison whereas OSU inhabits its own student ghetto north of Columbus proper (to the extent there is such a thing in such a sprawling town).

Wisconsin's spirit is Wisconsin-focused. Its rivalries with Michigan and Minnesota are spirited but friendly. OSU has an inferiority complex about not being Michigan. They riot and burn cars after every Michigan football game, win or lose.

Buckeye football is all. anybody. talks. about. for most of the summer and winter and all of the fall in Columbus. It's truly obsessive. Wisconsin isn't close to that level about its football team. Nowhere else other than Bama is, really.[/quote]
