Ohio State Egomania Trademarking "The"

[BoxsterCy]

If you have ever met a true Ohio State fan, you understand how this is a thing.

Different than a Tavern Hok, but equally punch-able.

They do tend to dress nicer than tavern Hawks.

This is not much of an accomplishment

Needs to be updated to "THE Hawkeyes on my Belly"

I told the Buckeye grad I work with about this. He hadn't heard about it. He just shook his head. He then volunteered that it was going to piss off Michigan fans - and probably a lot more other school's fans.

Iowa fans: We've trademarked the color black
Ohio State: Hold my beer

Guys, they are compensating for their tiny ding-a-lings. Let them have this.

I feel like this is the kind of thing Urban Meyer is working on when I pass him on the bike trail every day.

This reminds me of this, which is funny:

We should go after IP on this word which would prove we weren't compensating for the micropenis:

in college I attended a few events with clubs from various other colleges and without fail, if someone failed to announce them as "The" Ohio State, their group would all yell it back. So insufferable.

O-H!
I-O!

Give them the THE. The poor folks live in Ohio

Surprised Michigan doesn't trademark FU.
FU Ohio State Buckeyes!

I'm sure plenty of schools would pay to retroactively trademark "@$$holes" to them?

Can't stand Buckeye nuts.

Do we need to send a search and rescue for @Sigmapolis? Excuse me, "THE Sigmapolis!"
