2009 was a big year for sports in Columbus. Both the Crew and the Blue Jackets made it to the playoffs, Huntington Park opened in April for a record-breaking season attendance for the Clippers, and in August we lost The Destroyers as the Arena Football League went under. None of that stacked up to the continued fandom behind the OSU Buckeyes Football team, which took back their place at the #1 spot in this year’s reader’s poll. Their 2009 season had plenty of ups and downs, but concluded in victory as OSU defeated Oregon at the Rose Bowl at the start of the New Year.
