I'd agree with the state of Ohio. With the exception of Ohio State football, none of the teams that play in the state would make me want to get up in the morning.
Baseball: Reds (52-66 this year, 78-84 last year), Indians (51-69, 74-88)
Football: Bengals (2-14), Browns (9-7)
Hockey: Blue Jackets (29-42)
Basketball: Cavaliers (17-65)
