Enquirer: State of Local Sports, XU #2

[XU84]

In a local survey of confidence in college and pro teams, our Muskies came in second to the Buckeye football program. Pretty interesting to read. Maybe someone with more time can post some of the highlights. certainly a very favorable comment on the program and how our fans see it.

I am sure that Sean Miller will see that and it is a good sign to him. If he JUST read MM he might wonder about whether he is appreciated.

We never make much noise on the local radio programs, and thats fine by me, but its great to see us come out in numbers to show the support for the program in this setting. Also consider that OSU has a huge alumni base, and they really didn't beat us by much in the survey. And your right about Sean Miller. I hope he sees the huge approval rating and realizes how appreciated he is. I like to think he's smart enough not to worry about the negative comments on this site from so-called fans.

I imagine the responses were mainly from the Greater Cincinnati area.
