- Thread starter Kickin' Chicken

Hi pdq;
I am one of those guys who thinks Ohioans hve made tremendous contributions to our sport. Amazingly so.
My op was a tongue in cheek attempt to draw out some of our az members thoughts on why they feel Ohio's sons and daughters have made, arguably, more contributions to pool, per capita, than any other state.
So you see, I was actually honoring Ohio with this thread.
Peace brother. :thumbup:
Best,

Never heard the OP's claim from Ohioans, but here's a tidbit for ya;
The J.M. Brunswick Manufacturing Company opened for business on September 15, 1845, in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Then, as stated, Mosconi ran and ran and ran. End thread, again, lol.

"Thank you for calling the Ohio Suicide Hotline, can we help you?"
Yes, I'm thinking of committing suicide.
"Sir, that is horrible - how long have you felt this way?"
My job moved me here about a year ago....I became a basketball fan, but then Lebron left and it's all been downhill from there.
"Yes sir, I know, it hit us all really hard"
I mean, winter is back, it's crazy cold
"Yes sir, I know"
And the women here.....I mean, thank God for winter and everyone covering up.....I've been considering men..
"Yes sir, I know"
I don't know if I can take it any longer.....I need to exit this cruel, evil world.
"Do you play pool?"
Well, a little, but not much, why?
"Ohio is the epicenter for pool.....you get to get out of the cold, enjoy a great game, and if you drink enough, the men and women start to look better, I promise"
Sounds great.....how did it become the 'epicenter'?
"We just tell everybody that....I don't even know what it means, but it sounds important and it makes us feel better"
Got it......I'll start practicing today.....and how do you spell epicenter???
:grin:

Well, in that case...
A few random points - New Jersey has also been a big contributor, esp.
in the days of Straight Pool.
Per Capita - Kentucky<pop aprox 4.5 Million> merits consideration,
esp in Bank Pool.
Specific players - as mentioned before, but well worth mentioning again,
George Rood, perhaps the best all round player ever from Ohio,
or anywhere. And Clem Metz Top of the top One Pocket players
of the 50s and 60s and said to be second only to Fddie Taylor in Bank.

I lived in Minneapolis for a while and I think that Minnesota is the strongest pool state. Just open the BCA champions list over the last 15 years. Half of them are from MN. Not only are there a lot of champions...there are a whole lot of B or above player. Its pretty impressive.
Hub of the Universe
It doesn't seem to matter, (interpreted either way), where you visit, you're going to find folks from Ohio, usually a lot of them. This has led me to believe that Ohio is actually the hub of the universe. As irrefutable proof, I offer up the fact that all known objects in the cosmos are currently speeding AWAY from Ohio, (probably the snow), nuff said?

Ohio Epicenter
Because it is , we get all the best from West Virginia and Kentucky all of our own and 90% of the rest of the people who used to go broke on their way to Michigan.
