Do you realize that there’s Ohio University in Athens, Ohio and Ohio State in Columbus?

It’s like saying Florida when you mean Florida State, or Oklahoma, when you mean Oklahoma State or any other state that has two universities with similar names.

The reason people make a hoopla over THE Ohio State University is because so many refer to Ohio State as “Ohio”. It wasn’t started because they thought they were better than everyone. It started because people confused the two schools.

If people stopped using Ohio for when they mean Ohio State, the Buckeyes would probably have never made such a big deal over THE.
