Again... and I've made this point in other posts... we (as an athletic department and fans) need to stick to one name, one logo, one whatever when referring to our beloved school. If the athletic department thinks Ohio is the best name then lets roll with it - that's why they are in the positions they are in and we are not. I think Ohio is great as there is no other 'Ohio'. I don't like O.U. as there is obviously another 'O.U.'

Made you look! That is why we shouldn't be so cozy to use "OU" as a moniker, and instead make it a habit, regardless of our generation, to use "Ohio" going forward.

I've always wondered how the University of Oklahoma at Norman could be abbreviated OU when there are at minimum 3 D-1 schools (Ohio University, Oakland University in Auburn Hills, Michigan, and Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama) have those 2 letters, in that specific order, in their name.

Back on subject, I've always heard OUr school be referred to as OU or Ohio University, both of which I'm okay with.

The whole "Harvard on the Hocking" approach brought a fairly sizable contingent of East Coast students to Athens. Many of them brought their appetites for drugs and alcohol with them.

I love it!

I never knew the East Coast corrupted Ohio University and changed it from Lake Wobegon to Gomorrah. To think the forefathers/foremothers of The Situation and Snooki sullied the Chastity Belt on the Hocking.

I always thought it was those long-haired moppets from Liverpool, and later, those damn anti-establishment hippies. But nope, the problem was those damned East Coasters - referring to pop as soda in their snooty way.

If only someone alerted the preacher so he could have prayed these East Coasters away...
