There are some things you just can’t deny.

Here in Ohio, we’re known for our irrational hatred of the state that shall not be named, buckeye-crazed love and spelling our state name with our hands—and for good reason. The following are 14 totally true stereotypes Ohioans school just accept as fact. See how many you agree with:

  1. We do, in fact, bleed scarlet and gray.

  1. And yes, we most certainly hate that state up north.

  1. We likely do have accents. (And yes, we will always deny it.)

Andrey/Flickr We’re simply not capable of admitting it.

  1. We really do take pictures like this everywhere we go.

  1. We really do love our farms—even if we didn’t all grow up on one.

  1. Our pride is, in fact, bigger than our heads.
