Per a tweet from Doug Lesmerises of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ohio has changed the schedule on the wall to something with a little bit of a Brady Hoke-ism. This is the kind of stuff that makes the rivalry fun IMO...
@PDBuckeyes In OSU team meeting room for #SigningDay, schedule on wall for 2012 lists "that team up north" instead of Michigan.
that's not even catchy or
It really rolls off the tongue easily
Should be great the first two times it is used in an interview and then they forget about it. What about landing on scUM (makes me think of spoon!) since that will play to their base and just getingt the whole thing over with now?
I think people misunderstand
I think people misunderstand this a little. I don't think Woody Hayes called us "That School Up North" specifically to insult us, but just to show how big this game was to him. Likewise, I don't think Hoke tries to demean OSU by calling them "Ohio." Again, it's more about him demonstrating that that game is on a different level.
Now we know we're back.
We have their attention. If they still refuse to buy gas in Michigan, that's fine too, only they don't have to push their cars over the border, they can leave them behind and get another "loaner" from a booster.

Well, I guess it's good they know which direction North is.
Too late now they just look
Too late now they just look like copy-cats (and tool bags).

Obviously that is what Woody
Obviously that is what Woody called us first, but plastering this on team materials calling us that Team Up North? I'm sure that has nothing to do with all our fans, players and coaches calling OSU Ohio now, right?

Yes.
We did.

Yea, but do you honestly think they'd be doing this if Hoke hadn't started the "Ohio" thing back up? For the record I do like it. It adds to the rivalry... Well, it would if they had the phrase correct. Lol
Truth be told, we never
Truth be told, we never really stopped calling yinz TTUN or TSUN. And, fwiw, the phrases are basically interchangeable.

Um...
I thought Woody's line was "That School Up North"? Is Terelle Pryor the one writing their history?

Pretty sad when random MGoBlog readers are getting it right and it's wrong on the team schedule. Then again, maybe it's best they alter one word to sort of distance themselves from a guy who should have been arrested for assault in the middle of a game.

"THE University of Ohio
"THE University of Ohio State"....cracks me up every time.
Freudian
A) You're tight. They misquoted their own legendany coach.
B) It was a Freudian slip. They said team instead of school because they don't think of their program in terms of academia. They see it as it is, a bankrolled semi-pro team.
Speaking of Freudian slips?
A) You're tight
Tight like a

737 days and counting...
No big deal
Haven't they been referring to us this way for a long time.
Besides, refusal to say the name is tantamount to fear of saying the name....a la Voldemort.
*This of course does not apply to Hoke's reference to "Ohio," as this misidentifies them. Insert additional M logic here < >.
Always reaching for the banner.
They have referred to us those way for YEARS. Still, good to know Hoke is in their heads.
For today, goodbye. For tomorrow, good luck. And forever, Go Blue.
awesome
this is awesome. back to the days of woody hayes and bo. anyone that thinks this is a copy-cat tactic does not know their history of how woody would refer to Meechigan.

I'm digging it. I've always liked "Ohio" much more than "that team down south," so I'm glad Hoke is using it exclusively now. They can take the second name, I don't really care.

"the team, that team, that
"the team, that team, that team up north"
Sigh.
This is all a slippery slope that usually seems to end in the death of a lot of innocent trees.
As a matter of fact I like beer.
"That Team Up North"
Does this make MSU (also on their 2012 schedule) "that team up north and to the left slightly"? Urban is trying to rekindle the Woody Hayes fire and the spirit of "The Ten Years War", it seems, because I swear we've been "that team up north" since at least the 1970s. I find it interesting that they would attempt to fire back at the "Ohio" reference, although not at all shocking that it is appropriated from a previous regime and not terribly imaginative.
I wonder if the first suggestion in the room was, "Why don't we just call them 'Michigan'? Oh wait..."
In all honesty, I hope that, on 11/25/12, they refer to the game as "season-ending loss".

Why do you guys think that team was Michigan? I thought that team up north was a reference to national power MSU.

Eh, it isn't the same as
Eh, it isn't the same as Hayes in my opinion. Hayes was literally crazy and had a pure hatred for Michigan. Meyer just seems like a regular coach that doesn't have real desire to be at OSU, at least his public attitude. Saying "that team up north" is so unoriginal though. He needs to think of his own line and start showing some real fire for this to be considered another 10 Year War. Just feel like he's doing this because of Hoke's "Ohio" and because of Hayes, not because of actual hatred for us.
