Ben and Jerry's is the only thing that saves this state from oblivion. 18 Kentucky The Commonwealth of Kentucky is a very odd state. There's definitely too much interest in horse racing, which by the way, is not a sport. There are no beaches and few intangibles. But it does have UK basketball.
Basketball is almost as important to Kentucky as it is to Indiana.
19 Nevada You've got to admire a state with the guts to create a city like Las Vegas. Nevada has none of the criteria that would justify this rating except my team won the 1988 National Wallyball Championship in Reno. 20 Ohio Parts of Ohio are okay. Cleveland has Jacob's Field. Cincinnati can be fun and its airport, which is actually in Kentucky, has excellent connections to New Orleans.
