They were the original "school up north"

Hayes usually referred to Michigan as "That School Up North", supposedly because he could not bring himself to speak the name Michigan...hence OSU fans refer to UM as 'TSUN'. He also referred to it as "that state up north" or "that team up north" .

From here.

The page from Woody Hays book that Mullen borrowed and returned back to OS via current coach Urban Meyer. Now that's full circle with that phrase.

Thats also what they called Florida State when they were in Gainesville

So they're TTUN, not TSUN.
