In those cases, I find it's due to a big misconception over what a state college means.
Ohio State University doesn't represent the entire state.
It's simply a state-managed public university.

Often times I'd hear, "Why don't you root for Ohio State? You live in Ohio!"
Well, Karen...why don't you root for Miami, UC, Xavier, BGSU, OU, and Dayton? They are in Ohio too.

In fact, if any university should represent the state of Ohio, it should be Ohio University, which was the first university founded in the state in 1804. Miami University is second-oldest in 1809 followed by UC in 1819.
Ohio State University isn't even one of the 25 oldest universities in the state. It wasn't founded until 1870. 

Sorry, I'll step down from my soapbox now lol.
