Now ask me if I give two shits about Nebraska hoops...

[iam416]

You should. It's waaaay better than UNL football.

[Wild Hoss]

harsh, but fair

[entropy]

just don't insult our volleyball

[THE_WIZARD_]

You should. It's waaaay better than UNL football.

This sports season...yes. But then again so is volleyball, gymnastics, bowling, baseball, wrestling, track, badminton, tiddlywinks (ok it's a push on this one)...and I don't give two shits about those either.

FFF...Fear. Frost. Fuckers.

[iam416]

You mean Blond Cally? I'm gonna have to take a rain check on the fear thing for that.

[THE_WIZARD_]

I can smell the fear...

:::revealing:::

[THE_WIZARD_]

Fear the 30 ft. bank shot

[AlabamAlum]

It's the Value City Arena?

[THE_WIZARD_]

shaddup

[AlabamAlum]

There used to be something called Value City in this area. It was a low-end ultra discount chain. I am assuming it is something different up there.

[THE_WIZARD_]

It's a tattoo parlor in C-bus I believe

Same chain that OSU B ball arena is named after

[iam416]

It's technically Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center. It's most commonly referred to amongst OSU fans as "The Schott".

Schottenstein is an OSU alum and considerable donor. His group owns a several retail clothing chains and interest in others. I believe his family started Value City in Columbus a long time ago -- it's how they made their money. Around Columbus it was branded Schottenstein's.

I believe Value City is now defunct (and Schottenstein is dead). But, OSU's double naming homage to a huge donor remains. I would rate them maybe #2 or #3 for OSU donors -- a very, very distantly behind good ol' Les Wexner (L Brands Corp). He basically built the entire NE Ohio quadrant of Columbus and an entire town (now closer to small city) -- New Albany. His ruthless rule has yet to be flummoxed by a renaissance cooler with a moral compass and bad ass martial arts skills.
