no, its not something that OSU students and fans made up, its actually the name of the school, "The Ohio State University"

Quote :

"This broader curriculum triumphed in the end and led the Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College, in 1878, to change its name to The Ohio State University to reflect the wide range of courses offered at the institution. The first class was made up of twenty-five students, including two women. By 1877, more than two hundred students attended the school"

its crazy the things you find out when you stop being biased and negative, and research the reasons behind your hate

i was making fun of tOSU for naming itself the ohio state university.

i knew that was the real name.

and i'm not biased, i really don't care either way about osu outside of the fact that they get away w/ cheating.

^So do most major schools in D-1.

4/22/2007 1:01:38 AM

osu more than most.

4/22/2007 1:05:42 AM

^^wait, what other major D-1 school makes a big deal out of making sure everyone calls them THE *BLANK* University

But don't sit here and act like if it was THE North Carolina State University you wouldn't be all over it and doing the same thing. You are just pissed we can't say it and OSU can.

sigh, don't turn everything into us being jealous of THE osu. really.

4/22/2007 10:30:20 AM

If you weren't, it wouldn't have been discussed this long.

Continuously calling something stupid doesn't exactly scream jealousy


I call my neighbor's dog stupid all the time and there's no fucking way I latently wanna be it

4/22/2007 2:43:56 PM

are you people really still arguing with macguyver

4/22/2007 3:03:24 PM

Everybody is probably a little jealous. It is Ohio State (yes I said "Ohio State")

4/22/2007 3:08:24 PM

They are all just still bitter about tOSU beating NCSU not once, but TWICE.

4/22/2007 3:22:26 PM

the only thing that i'm jealous/bitter about is that our recruiting violations cost us a national championship, and osu's got lost in paperwork and dropped.

I actually hate Ohio State, but I admit that it is slightly based on jealousy.
