Letter in today's Dispatch and Ray's response:

Ray: I noticed in the online extra letters to the editor that a number of people were comparing Brady Hoke referring to Ohio State as “Ohio” to Woody Hayes referring to Michigan as “That School Up North.”

Here is the difference between the two: There is no actual university called “That School Up North” whereas there most certainly is an actual university called “Ohio” with a football team that plays in the Mid-American Conference.

Imagine how confused our friends in Athens must have been to see that TSUN finally beat them when they hadn’t even played.

— Pamela Mason, Lawrenceville, N.J.

Pamela: Yes, but doesn’t that likewise mean that the Bobcats can claim a basketball victory over Michigan now that Wolverines coach John Beilein has adopted the “Ohio” phrasing?

As well - headline in the Sports section - "OU rolls to it's sixth straight win". I wonder how many readers thought the story would be about Oklahoma, Oregon, etc.?

As both an MSU Spartan and Ohio Bobcat, it drives me crazy.  It's like a double-dip insult.
