Value City Arena roll call

Submitted by ThadMattasagoblin on

Who else is going to be in the belly of the beast? Tickets are 10 dollars and we have a good shot of winning.

This is the best post I've seen all weekend.  I kept hearing about all of the wonderful deals they have.  After driving by the one in my neighborhood for 8 years, I finally stopped in.  First off I couldn't figure out how to unhook the shopping cart and didn't have a quarter.  So, off I went into the store with no cart.  I find a couple things (asparagus, a pineapple, and some sweet peppers), that are nicely priced.  I'm not at all impressed with the rest of everything else they have to offer and feel dirty just for being in there.  Anyway, I get to the checkout counter scan my credit card and get declined as they only take cash or debit card.  Didn't have either. That was 20 minutes of my life I will never get back.

I'm totally cool with the store not getting the patronage of people who can't operate a shopping cart or carry a debit card.  You should totally feel dirty for being in there; you're obviously in a class above all that.

In seriousness, what I really like about the store is the time savings.  I don't have to wade through 15 different brands of organic pine nuts to find the damn rice I'm looking for.   And then as a bonus I save 30 bucks a trip for the exact same stuff I would have gotten at Meijer, with the exception of a very few things.

A win down there would be big in my opinion. The season is winding down and one more win would pretty much make Michigan a lock for the dance. 2-3 over the next five games is not to much to ask for.

According to my brief search, it looks like Value City was formerly affiliated with Value City Furniture store and owner, Jerome Schottenstein.  VCF seems to be the corporate sponsor of the OSU arena. The full name is Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center.

Ran the Columbus Marathon back in October. Hit the wall right when I got to the OSU campus. Would've been better off stopping and taking a shit on the athletic grounds.

Right now methinks they're out of the tournament unless they either win out or win most of their remaining games and have a strong showing in the BTT. Neither of which are likely to happen.

Very few signature wins, several bad losses, and some horrendous looking blowouts. Cap that with the fact that they've still got to play Iowa, and then MSU twice, all of which are likely losses for them.
