I don't know.  I'm actually qualified to comment since I grew up in this area and have come back after college and some work in NYC, LA, and Miami.  The pro title drought weighs heavily here.  Yeah, most are OSU fans.  Diehard OSU fans too.  But, CLE/AKR/NE Ohio is portrayed so negatively in the media.  Certainly from a pro sports standpoint and that's accurate but hearing it over and over and going through the debacles in person is frustrating.  It constantly beats down on people.  Non sports-wise it is also ridiculed.  Something positive to unite the area I'm all for even if it is cheesy with the "Believeland" or "All In."  Non sports-wise there has been heavy crime the past decades, homicides galore, economic decline, (though now a renaissance of sorts), the Tamir Rice situation, the Ariel Castro kidnappings, etc.  All negative always in terms of the national media spotlight.  I understand the whole "Cleveland deserves this" mantra and the efforts to unite in this Title hunt.
