This is definitely it. So many players do it now. It's dumb in the first place.

I was going to post a Key and Peele video, but this says it all.

I like the clean, maize "Block M," but if Schlissel wants to replace the university logo with this, I'd be totally fine with it.

I think they are serious. Not mocking.

Gosh, I hope it's mocking. Folks down here honestly believe that OSU is the only school with "The" at the beginning of it's name. At the other end, I loved Brandon Graham's "Michigan".

What makes this funny isn't so much the throwaway jibe at tOSU's "THE", but the collectively indignant reaction from OSU's fanbase who are pretty much the (THE?) poster children for "can dish it out but can't take it"
October 26th, 2015 at 10:55 AM ^
Yeah seriously. People getting all upset about "The University of Georgia" when "The University of ____" makes a lot more sense than "The ____ State University." And even then, if you just said it without stressing the e, then we might just let it go without thinking about it.

I actually emailed our trademarks and logos guy a few months ago because I was horrified that people were using "The University of Georgia" on items and in text. Gross.
His response: "Actually, it is a preferential thing … if you include “The” in front of “University of Georgia” it is not wrong, but the fact is, the actual registered trademark does not include “The”. HOWEVER, if you add “The” it does not diminish the trademark or the enforceability of the rights associated with the registration in any way whatsoever. For all practical purposes, both iterations of the terminology are federally registered trademarks, even though there is only one actual filing."
I still don't use it though.
October 26th, 2015 at 10:47 AM ^
THE.
How can an entire state pin all its self worth on such a common and meaningless word?
Wait. No need to answer that.

The definite article in The University of Michigan refers to "University." In the case of The Ohio State University, it refers to Ohio. They don't want their Ohio State University to be confused with the other state universities. I have a strong suspicion that it is the other state universities that forced The Ohio State University to adopt the definite article.

I appreciate a sense of humor and in this era of rudeness and indecency, I think a little clean fun is cool. Don't some of these guys mention their high schools and other places as well?
Bottom line, there were a lot of former OSU players in there and not many (only one?) former UM players. So we have some work to do.

yeah thats what sticks, there were like 4 buckeyes on carolinas O. malcom jenkins is still a beast. and they even had guys like kurt coleman in that game. theres just way more buckeyes in the league than wolverines, a fact that hopefully changes over the next 10-20 years

I move to officially change the abbreviation, from tOSU to Tosu.
