Wish JC had informed his partner we are Ohio and not Ohio U, weird to hear one consistently call us Ohio and the other Ohio U but pretty much par for the course.
With the cheer OU, Oh Ya, how can we not also be Ohio U? And with all the smart OHIO grads over the years how come one of you didn't start the OH IO cheer in Athens instead of the thieves 70 miles away?
We are Ohio U. As far as I know we are NOT Ohio Northern, NOT Ohio Wesleyan, NOT Ohio State and so on. This gibberish has made me laugh for decades.
And, we are not Ohio State U., either. Get the point?
Don't think I agree with OCF on much but we do not say Miami U, Harvard U, Indiana U, U Wisconsin, U Illinois, U Kentucky, Penn State U.
U get the picture.
Well, actually if we're going to be anal about letters in names, Miami DOES refer to themselves as "THE U" for Miami (FL) and "Miami of Ohio" for Miami (OH). You also have UK for Kentucky. OU for Oklahoma. Don't fear the "U" :).
Ohio U is pretty obviously just a differentiator for the national scene between us and Ohio State.
Yes, technically we're "Ohio". No, nobody else outside this board gets butthurt when somebody calls us Ohio U. Shoot, "I" call us OU most of the time, and Ohio U sometimes.
Anyways - back to basketball. Troy/Abilene Christian (dare I call them ACU *gasp*) plays tonight.
Well, actually we are OU as is OK but no one say UOklahoma and no one says UKentucky.
I get what you are saying but when an announcer is a pro and does his research he will see
