I know this is probably nitpicking, but can we stop referring to them as tOSU? (THE Ohio State University) We add in the "t" in respect to their ridiculous insistence to add the "THE" to their name, and in response they all call us scum.
It really bugs me. So let's stop.
At least this week.
Any suggestions on a more disrespectful abbreviation? OSUcks, perhaps?

No. Childish insults like scUM and O$U are beyond stupid. Let's not become those fans.
What scUM means
Users of scUM have *no* imagination. That was probably an old joke in the '70s.

Actually, it seems that most
Actually, it seems that most Spartans aren't clever enough to use that spelling, preferring "SCum" (which they borrowed from UCLA, unaware that it doesn't work as well for us).
The 2 aren't
The 2 aren't equivalent...
tOSU is awesome because it shows how ridiculous they are by being "THE" Ohio State University. We are making fun of them while staying classy.
scUM is just stupid because ... well obviously.
If we go to OSUcks ... then we're just like them.

calling them the f*ckeyes.
When your team is winning, be ready to be tough, because winning can make you soft. On the other hand, when your team is losing, stick by them. Keep believing.
General rule
Any insult that is a play on the word "f*ck" is stupid, overdone, and not remotely creative.

In many buckeye circles they refer to themselves as "tOSU" or some derivations, so off the bat it's not overly derogatory for us to use it. Also, I think you're mistaken in believing that we're showing "respect" by using "tOSU." In my opinion we're poking fun on their own insistence of adding the THE. That said, I have no problem with it.
See the buckeye blog The Buckeye Battle Cry, shortened "tBBC" for a self-use of the t by the buckeyes.

In defense of tOSU
There's an abstract quality about tOSU that works perfectly, in my opinion. Maybe its the goofy sound of the word as you sound it out, plus the meth-addict inversion of capitalization, plus the pathetic arrogance of what the 't' means to Buckeye fans ...
I'm in complete agreement that O$U, Suckeyes, etc., are blights upon Michigan fandom. But I like tOSU.
Agreed
I cant stand listening to people say "The" OSU....
tOSU should be banned forever!
Hail
Um.... This thread is full of fail
Like mama always said "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all"
really because OSU calls us a name and we respect them you want to call them a name.... Terrible idea!

Hmm
Well since I live in Texas now it's actually tOSU to differentiate between them and Oklahoma State - hell, when I was at "tOSU" even OSU fans called it tOSU because of the "The." I gotta be honest with you guys - calling it tOSU isn't really an insult at all.
And a history lesson just for sh!ts and giggles - the only reason it's "The OSU" is because Ohio University in Athens put in to the state to officially be called "The Ohio University" and OSU said, no, if anybody is going to be "The Ohio" anything it's going to be OSU because they have a bigger campus, more students, more faculty, more money, blah blah blah. So, actually, it's OU's (NT OU) fault there was even a t in the first place. But, back to my original point - tOSU isn't an insult - we should do better than simply using their initials and calling it an insult.
Dunno about that...
...many Ohio Universities were chartered using the definite article. It is true that The Ohio University (1804) and The Miami University (1809) both used the term before tOSU.
As a matter of fact I like beer.
That's true
However, when they went to make it official the state of Ohio decided against it resulting in this: "In 1906, Ohio made a law that said The Ohio State University was the state's "flagship campus""

There's also this: http://library.osu.edu/sites/archives/resources/faqpage.php#THE
anyway - that's, hopefully, the last and only link to anything involving "osu.edu" on here ever :)

I mean, it did produce some of the best Michigan Football players ever.

I don't get how tOSU is
I don't get how tOSU is offensive. Unlike scUM, designed to be derogatory, it's an actual abbreviation for the actual name of their fine institution.
Unless the "sc" stands for Supreme Commanders? Sports Champions? Superior College?
In which case thanks for the compliments.
I like "Supreme Commanders"...
it fits with the whole "Zolatan Mesko: Emperor of Space, leader of the Space Commanders of the Univeristy of Michigan."
Eh? Sounds good to me!
Go Blue!
Thanks for the compliments

God, I hate living in Columbus.

AN Ohio State University
Since those asshats really don't deserve the definite article, I say we refer to them as aOSU - An Ohio State University.
This is the first good idea
so far.
Myself I've always wondered
Myself I've always wondered why they need to remind each other of the difference between the Ohio state university in Columbus and the other ones. I can tell the difference; can't they?
