I don’t get it. What’s the big deal about calling Ohio State THE Ohio State???
In college, I knew a grad student who did her undergrad at The Ohio State University. Very arrogant. She was an oboe player, and of course playing oboe bursts a lot of capillaries in the brain, so...
So stupid. What a waste of taxpayer money. What are they hoping to accomplish with this? Do they think they’re going to stop, say, Michigan State, Arizona State etc from calling themselves THE Michigan State University, etc.? And if so, why?? Total exercise in idiocy.
I HATE when NFL players introduce themselves with “THE Ohio State...” like it means a damn thing. Ohio St. has only won two national championships in the past 48 years, after winning 5 under Woody Hayes alone.
I have a Nephew who is a lawyer for the Patent Dept. I wonder if he had anything to do with it.
I want our great president to trademark “THE™ President of the United States”. It’s only right! /s
I could see Troy University being “The Real Men Of Troy”.
Are they talking about An Ohio State University?
At least with The Episcopal Church, it was because they were trying to deny the validity of other Episcopal Churches. (Which was totally depraved of them, but at least it was a motive.) But what gives here? Were people from Kent State claiming they went to “a Ohio, state University?”
You mean “THE University of Florida at Columbus”?
If “The” could be trademarked, clearly the “Bent one” would want to trademark “is”.
TEH™
And from there we go to The (tm) cat, The (tm) dog, etc.
