'By this point, everyone who follows Michigan football knows that coach Brady Hoke refers to Ohio State as "Ohio."

"Always have," Hoke said Monday during his weekly news conference.'

The sad thing is that people want to spin this as being some sort of sly dig by Hoke when in reality it's just a facet of his somewhat dimwitted nature.

Of course there is something to be said in Hoke's defense: http://gosu02.tripod.com/id116.html


"The logo of TBDBITL, "Diamond Ohio"--one of many examples of official OSU uses of "Ohio" alone

From time to time you will see Buckeye fans who object when others refer to us as "Ohio". I believe that this is remarkably silly and represents a remarkable ignorance of our heritage and history. As I will show, references to OSU as "Ohio" are frequent in historical news reports, songs, names, etc.

Of course, much of the problem stems from the identification of Ohio University as "Ohio", and the lawsuit between the two schools over the use of the term. Personally, I do not refer to OU as "Ohio", as I reserve that title for Ohio State, and am not at all willing to cede our historical claim to the name in order to pacify them or avoid confusion.

First, simply consider various references to "Ohio" without the trailing "State":
1. Ohio Field and Ohio Stadium
2. Script Ohio
3. the "OH-IO" and "O-H-I-O" cheers
4. Our school songs. Consider one of our two fight songs, Buckeye Battle Cry: "In old Ohio, there's a team that's known throughout the land- Come on, Ohio!...Our honor defend, we will fight to the end for O-HI-O!" The word "State" does not appear in the song.

Or consider our other fight song, Fight the Team: "Show them Ohio's here, wahoo, wahoo, for O-hi-o!" Again, the word "State" does not appear in the song.

Even more telling is the alma mater, Carmen Ohio: "Oh come let's sing Ohio's praise - Time and change will surely show, how firm thy friendship O-hi-o!" The alma mater is not just a fight song; it is the expression of our deepest feelings of love, respect, and loyalty to our university. Buckeyes have sung this song for over a century, and no one has ever found it odd that the word "State" never appears in the song."

It is Michigan week.

Fuck Hoke and his hokiness of thinking calling Ohio State "Ohio" is an insult.

"Fuck Michigan" is all you needed to say.

Getting ready to leave for the holiday so if I don't stop back in before The Game two wishes;

1) Wishing for a Happy Holiday and safe travels to all BPers (except you m*ch*gan fucks, you cumstains drive fast and take chances).

2) Wishing for the Buck's to find it in themselves for one last glorious effort and continue the 7 year trend of playing Ike to scUM's Tina.

Hit it again Ike and put some stank on it!
