Jim Harbaugh So Weird He Refers To Ohio State By Name
Edit: Why the negs? I thought it was interesting to see that the national media thinks Harbuagh is crazy (in a good way) even when he does absolutely nothing weird. Sort of fits the the Onion's meme of him sitting in every seat.
Michigan Football: No Games, Just Sports.
Wait, no, that's not how it went at all. You're correct about his first usage, but then he played right along after that, followed by Beilein and nearly the entire athletic department. Yes, the media played their part but I'd argue that this here message board did most of the work. Lets at least be honest in our arguments, please.
Let the other guys talk. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Harbaugh will have Michigan working like fictional character Clubber Laing, with an even bigger "chip" on their collective shoulder. Anyone can talk and come up with stupid names like "That School Up North." Harbaugh will start proving it on the field, a lot earlier than many people think.
Ohio is Ohio University.
Our other rival is MSU. If I call them something else it's "Buckeyes" or "Spartans"...that's it. I never use the other name.
OSU/MSU, Buckeyes/Spartans, Losers/Sore Losers. End of discussion.

Haha, thats what I was thinking. You're going to need at least 40,000 mgopoints before you can dictate like that

...continued discussion: The transcript is on the front page and there are 2 press conference threads.
He said a lot of things...I couldn't care less how he refers to OSU, didn't when Hoke did either. Only thing I hated was how the media and everyone on here would get their panties in a bunch on how a grown man chose to refer to a university.
Who the fuck cares? Say it how you want...is Brady Hoke going to suspend you from being a fan or something? Jeez, it was always so obnoxious...everyone doesn't have to speak the same damn way, if you don't like it, call them what you want to call them.
Okay, now end of discussion. /drops mic

Oh my gosh I refer to Ohio State by name too! I'm just like Harbaugh!
/s
but are you wearing khakis?
says "Ohio". Thanks to MGoBlog and Drupal, you're just like Hoke!
athletic apparel and turkeys aren't good enough for you?
So... what ever happened to that turkey? Still harrassing people? Did he wander off?
maybe we need a new thread to update us on the situation.

"And then Mr. Carlson had the helicopter land in middle of the parking lot. I guess he thought he could save the day by letting the rest of the turkeys loose. It gets pretty strange after that..."

Breaking: Media struggles to find narratives in casual Q&A
Never understood why Hoke referring to them as Ohio is considered so taboo while their head coaches refer to us as TTUN and their freaking Governor annually bans the letter M. Seems odd to only hold one side of a rivalry to this standard.
Get out of here with LOGIC man.
Kidding aside, its a great point and funny the whole dymanic.
The fact that it became an issue and actually was posed as a question means it worked.
Its kinda like them barely beating Hoke and then saying, jeez are you ever going to give us a game.
Quite frankly, I like the TTUN/Ohio stuff. I think it's interesting. I think it adds tension. But I think calling us Ohio wasn't creative. It lacked originality and wasn't clever. Then you guys lost to the actual Ohio in basketball immediately after Hoke started using the term and it made the whole thing a big joke. Killed the credibility of the insult.
Tl:dr
The idea was good, the execution was poor.
BJR, I posted this earlier and still don't understand about the fans of "THE Ohio State University" is their level of anger and animosity when Brady and others keep calling you all Ohio!
1) But when they score a touchdown, their cheerleaders bring out flags on the field that spell:
2) There fans spell:
3) Their band spells out a script:
4) Their stadium is called:
5) Their fight song says…”Fight the team across the field, Show them Ohio's here….”
So if they want to be called Ohio State, can't they just spell the extra 5 freakin' letters!
Even our spelling challenged little brother at least attempts to spell STAEE. They do not go around calling themselves THE Michigan State University and yes I know Ohio University exists, but then why not spell out STAEE??? And please, do not answer back with your record over the last 7 years vs. us, that is a fact of life not an answer to a question.
Irrational weirdos get mad when you call them by not their name.
But o-h-i-o IS your name, so I am still not clear why even the irrational ones don't like it. Anyone new to college football who saw these 5 examples for your school would swear up and down that it is ohio. Below are some other "state" schools and the flags their cheer teams bring out and they all have "state" in them. I know THE ohio has enough funds to swing for the additional 5 flags.
I give him a pass. To post on here from an opposing school, ESPECIALLY OSU, and not troll deserves some sort of award. I give him the "thick skin" award and ask not to treat him too badly lest we get some real trolls on here !
Now you have to move to Canada and become a curling fan.
if I knew WTF was going on there. Even Canadians have difficulty explaining curling to me, and none of them admit to ever doing it or going to whatever they call a meet.
