We own that title "The." OSU lost it to us in the playoffs. That we don't care to use it doesn't matter. Their only hope is to win it back on the field.

I don’t understand that. I mean, I get players saying it,

but why would the school support it? First off, duh. Does anyone think there is a more prominent state university in Ohio than OSU? Who are they trying to convince otherwise. Second, why would you feel the need, at an administrative level, to demean other state schools?

What am I missing? It seems so small-minded and petty.

as much as they're using the "THE" as a suggestion that they're the only worthy school in the country worthy of notice and adulation.

They're a bunch of arrogant preeks with cauliflower ears from getting their arses whipped over and over by Clemson.

The word "The" is actually in their official name. They changed their name to "The Ohio State University" back in the 1800's. That being said, I think it's silly that they made that their official name. But since it is their official name, it makes total sense that the school would support it.
