In 2007.....
Ohio State researcher plants his Buckeye pride
From the air, you can see Scott McIntyre's pride in the scarlet and gray spelled out in yellow and green.
In May, the Ohio State University research associate carefully planted plots of yellow-leafed soybeans amid a more typical green-leafed variety in an unused, four-acre field at the university's Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center about 50 miles south of Cleveland.
Since the plants started coming up in late July, the two-tone field has displayed the words "OHIO STATE BUCKEYES" with an accompanying smiley face.
McIntyre, 43, said he was
inspired by how well Ohio State did last football season, when it went undefeated until a 41-14 loss to Florida in the BCS national championship game.
He also pointed out that his tribute is best seen from an aircraft, flying about 1,000 feet up.
Yellow-leafed soybeans yield less and aren't used often, and they start to turn green as they mature, he said, so the message may not last more than another week.
But the plants also hold on to their leaves longer than regular green-leafed ones, so the show of Buckeye spirit should be visible again at the height of football season this fall, McIntyre said.

PRECISION AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGY POWERS WORLD'S LARGEST SCRIPT OHIO
Move over, corn mazes, hello Script Ohio.
Agricultural engineers at the Ohio State University's College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences demonstrated the power of precision agriculture technology this growing season by turning a 100-acre field near the Molly Caren Agricultural Center near London into the world's largest version of "The Incomparable Script Ohio."
Experts in the Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering typically use "smart planting" devices guided by GPS to help farmers grow corn and soybeans more efficiently, using fewer crop inputs and fuel to plant and harvest their crops.
Those experts have also spent the past four years demonstrating the efficacy of the technology by crafting a series of aerial pictures in a given field, including a simple Block O in 2015, Brutus Buckeye in 2016, and the Athletic Department's version of the Block O logo in 2017.
This year, the project took on a much grander scale.
"We decided to start and continue this project to show the potential of new multi-hybrid/variety planting technology and demonstrate that it can complete tasks with accuracy and precision to the point of making logos in field scenes,” said Andrew Klopfenstein, a senior research associate engineer.
The Script Ohio was created using components from Precision Planting that turn a traditional planter into a “smart planter.” From a monitor inside the tractor, farmers can control the plant population and see hybrid type planted in coordination with a mapping of GPS coordinates.

“There are benefits to matching plant hybrids/varieties to soil landscape,” Klopfenstein said. “Farmers in the future will consider multiple factors when generating prescriptions. Some of these factors may include moisture holding capacity, soil organic matter content, slope, and historical yield data, just to name a few.”
By creating a map using GPS coordinates, a grower can program their planter to distribute less seed to an area with rocky terrain with an expected lower yield as opposed to an area rich in organic matter where higher plant populations will increase productivity.

Ohio State files action against Oklahoma for block 'O' trademark
Pride of Oklahoma drum major Julie Siberts leads a chant of "Boomer Sooner" during the Rose Bowl Game, a College Football Playoff Semifinal, between the Oklahoma Sooners (OU) and Georgia Bulldogs (UGA) at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, Monday, Jan. 1, 2018. Georgia won 54-48 in double overtime.
Ohio State has filed an action against Oklahoma to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The item in question? A block "O."
The notice of opposition was filed last week. Ohio State uses the block "O" as its primary logo, and the school extensively outlines the history of its use in the action.
The University of Oklahoma Board of Regents filed a trademark application for the mark in December 2017. OU claims its block "O" has been in commercial use since 2001. The mark is most noticeable to Sooner fans as the logo on the chest of the drum major.
Ohio State claims it has used the block "O" since 1898 and that Oklahoma's applied-for mark is "highly similar" and that "confusion is likely."
Baker Mayfield tried to stake claim to the block "O" by planting an OU flag in it after Oklahoma's 31-16 win in Columbus, Ohio last season.

Yes, college football is, thankfully, back.
Tomorrow starts the first slate of games (I guess?). It's something, it's better than nothing and I think we all need this.
