Conceited Ohio State
- Thread starter bcarda
- Start date
I don't get it. Are they trying to trademark:
- the use of the word 'the' in any context???
- the use of the word 'the' in conjunction with a university or other institution name? I.E., "The University of Nebraska"
- the use of the word 'the' with "Ohio State University"? OK, this I can understand, although I have never and will never use the phrase "the Ohio State University".

never, ever call them anything but ohio state. that's it, no more. the pompus asses have always tried to act like they were special. yea, special pompus asses.
My guess is your 2nd point, they are trying to trademark 'The' in front of Ohio State so that no other University can put 'The' in front of their name
I loved it a few years ago when Dayton knocked those arrogant blowhards out of the NCAA tournament, and the Dayton Daily News did this:
FWIW, Ohio State has some of the toughest and strictest copyright infringement enforcement by a pack of lawyers in all of college football. I'd say they are way above every other school in that regard. They constantly scour everything on the Internet to find even the most innocent infringement cases.
although he's the worst... I do like that Jim Harbaugh refers to them simply as "Ohio"
I believe Brady Hoke is the coach you're thinking of. He did do something Harbaugh has yet to do, beat Ohio State as head coach of Michigan.
Ah.. I think you are correct. Harbaugh had OSU beat in 2016 but the refs gave a first down to Ohio State when Michigan clearly stopped them on 4th down to win the game. But again, couldn't have happened to a better guy......
Edit: Was Hoke's only victory against OSU when they had their off-year in 2011 with Luke Fickel as coach?
It’s rough when your main rival is a top 10 team every year
Ask Tom Osborne - TO was 2-12 against OU when OU came into the game ranked in the top 10
2-12. I had no idea it was that bad. Someone can double check - I hope my calculations are way off
https://www.espn.com/classic/s/ou_neb_record.html
In 13 of those 14 games - Nebraska was also ranked in the top 10. In the other game we were ranked 11th
In the entire history of the series Nebraska has beaten a top 10 ranked OU team - 5 times
OU has beaten a top 10 ranked NU team 16 times
In the entire history of the series, when both teams entered the game in the top 10 - Nebraska is 5-13 (includes 2001 game not included in above link)
An unranked OU team has beaten a top 10 NEB team 3 times. The reverse has never happened

Came across this article. Ohio St is trying to trade mare the work The in The Ohio St University. Just found it funny.

Univ of Michigan trolling them by saying they are going to trademark the word “OF”
Haha that's awesome. Could we get The and of. "The University of Nebraska"RollingLaugh
I think there was a slight made toward them on Golic and Wingo which i did not catch at the time but now I do...Jason Fitz mumbled "trademark" after an OSU story...
There are 2 threads discussing this
I posted in the other thread Michigan trolling them by claiming they are going to trademark the word OF
I'm sure they want to sell merchandise with only the word "The" on it. Yes, it's arrogant, but that's what leaders do. They've been very successful at getting their athletes to all say "THE Ohio State University" in introductions and in reality, it has stuck.
So sorry...my mistake for paying less than great attention on a message board...

Apologies ... my comment was directed toward why I was posting the same message in 2 different threads
I replied to your message only in that it also referenced mocking OSU.
That would mean Nebraska has a right to protect its brand by trade marking the letter N. How dumb can they be?
Osu is osu.
They need to know enough if I'm talking about osu (okie lite) osu (Nebraska west) or osu, the one from ohio.
Otherwise, I dont care until they step in it through them not understanding it.

That might be the greatest headline EVER. Wow. What a burn.I loved it a few years ago when Dayton knocked those arrogant blowhards out of the NCAA tournament, and the Dayton Daily News did this:
It was rejected on a technicality, not because it was f%@#ing ridiculous. This might not be over.
But in the time it takes to type the pretentious little italicized “t” can’t you just type Ohio State?
