Ohio changes reference to Michigan game
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.

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.
Shits weak, yo.

I thought they were just going to call us "Mich" from now on.

When Meyer was at Utah, he never once spoke the name of BYU. Rather, he insisted on referring to them as "the school down south".
So, this is hardly a surprising development.

#1 It's better than "scUM" which is childish
#2 I proves that we're back and they're worried about "The School Up North"
Good, I hope it makes them sleep better. They'll need to be motivated, because I know we will.

Are the Ohio players expected to memorize that?

<br>No, really. The WHOLE thing?

This tells me that the buckeyes know Never to Eat Soggy Waffles.

Michigan is The Great Lake State (among other things). Without that state, the water would run downill and drain out, just look at a globe. We need ohio, they are the bung.

Ohio didn't suck so much the whole upper peninsula would fall into the water

Urban promised me he was going to use "That School Where They Use Big Words"

the old witch from The Black Crystal?

No, it's a picture of me, but I've long been told I'm a dead ringer for Aughra from The Dark Crystal.

They have been calling us that school up north for at least half a century. Probably even before Woody Hayes showed up to throw yard markers and punch TV cameras and opposing players.
It predates Woody but he made that nickname tradition.

Ohioans....they are so darn witty

It won't take long before Urban starts dressing like a fat old man and punches a Clemson player in the throat on national TV.

Our school IS to the north of them. By calling us "that school up north," they are also basically denying that there are any other schools worth caring about to the north of them. It's acknowledgement of a special rivalry relationship, that's all. And in doing so, it shows some respect for that relationship.
Frankly, I'm much more offended by having lost to them 8 of the last 10 times, with the absolute low point being the years 2008-10, when we lost to them by a combined score of 100-24.
