Can someone confirm if the "I received an offer from Ohio University" posts on Twitter include a graphic that Ohio is sending out to each recruit that they are turning around and posting? I'm hoping we aren't sending out these "official" offers with a huge typo on them.

At least the recent recruits mention "Ohio University" and not "University of Ohio" in their tweet or Instagram post.

Walking up and down the hills 4 times a day definitely helps.

From another thread - must have been one of those 19 ACT/3.95 GPA folks that created this.

Personally, I'd like to see more spelling mistakes.

The less time our interns waste checking for typos the more time they have to be watching game tape.

I just saw my second "University of Ohio" declaration (offer or commitment). Call me crazy but if you don't know the name of the school you're committing to how can teammates/coaches/the school take you seriously? That doesn't excuse someone from getting their "14th" offer from the "University of Ohio" either who ultimately doesn't choose Ohio.

I guess I have no "wiggle" room for student athletes who don't know the schools they are after or are after them. (hip pun).

As for the Champion Hips, is this not something we can fix going forward? Were all of these created and sent out at one time?

Of all things, this type of poor execution gets me "agitated" more than the agitation I'm supposed to portray at the urging of our PA announcer during a football game.

I received a tour of the football office suite a few years ago and they proudly unveiled a huge mural along one wall featuring the word "Perseverance." Except it was misspelled.

I guess if you have off the chart numbers coming out of high school you could call your future school whatever you want and nobody cares? My all time favorite example of this can be seen here:

Somewhere, Monroe is steepling his fingers laughing about this:

Saw this yesterday and hoped nobody would notice.

Guess I'll put this right next to my Independece Bowl towel from a few years back.

University of Ohio doesn't really bother me . . . the typos do.

I wonder how many recruits of Indiana University tweet they are committed to the University of Indiana.

University of Ohio, IMHO, is much better than Ohio U. It's much more respectful. Go OHIO!

The first time I read the announcement,my brain put the "s" in and I read it as "championship".

Years ago I was told that,when you read something,you read what "should" or what you expect to be there.
That's what makes a proof reader so important.

As a test,I asked a few of my employees read the announcement.
None of them caught the error until I pointed it out.

That's not meant to justify this.
That's why in my office we double proof pretty much everything.

Also, the F7 key should have caught that in spell checker.
