Oh please...

It's simply the name of the school. When you say it that way, it's just a small, insignificant showing of pride.

But I love watching people get all bent out of shape over it :roll:

LOL yeah... that's what it's about... A 60,000 student college felt screwed by a farm school in Athens Ohio.

Sorry... try again. The 'THE' was around long before that...

That's silly. Of course they shouldn't get ohio.edu. There actually is an Ohio university.

As an aside, go to northcarolina.edu. Instead of involving universities in silly squabbles, they set it up for the entire system.

Can you read?

What's your point? I agreed with you.

you are an idiot.

Alright a-hole, let me find a link to prove it to you. Right around the time OU got the rights to Ohio.edu, Ohio State started the whole tOSU thing.

He is right, I am in Columbus right now, and my dad (Lexus salesman), sold a car to the head legal guy at OU, and we were discussing the matter at christmas dinner.

link it up bitch.

e-fight! :p
