Those of us who served with Marines thought some of the junior officers were from Mars... ;-[)

Not time for one of the Marine stories, but a toy bike horn figures into the equasion.

I don't care.

I like the fact that Otis Sistrunk gained a reputation from being from
the University of Mars because of a misinterpretation in the team guide
listing him as being a marine (US Mars)

I'm glad our guys are proud to claim NU as their alma mater, but I think
the pro's have earned the right to say pretty much whatever they want,
as long as it is acceptable in polite company.

2 questions:

 

1.     Do today's diplomas say "The Ohio State University"

2.     Which of the coaches would be guilty of starting the players
saying The OSU as a
way of setting themselves apart.

 

I still don't "get" the idea of saying your High School, or neighborhood
during
introductions. At least most of our guys say Northwestern like they are
reasonably proud
of the institution.

Was talking to a good friend who graduated from tOSU around 1970.  His
diploma says simply
"Ohio State University".

He thinks that the "The" was added to the school name sometime in the
mid-80s.  Not sure
why, but it certainly gives outsiders something else to ridicule.

I'm adding the full list to this thread since we're talking about things
that partially
originated here....

I just remember that the AD while I was at NU (72-74) 

1. Hired Tex Winter to coach baseketball
2. Put in the Tartan Turf field at Dyche.

In any case, when I was first doing Purple Reign for then Rivals, a few
of our posters
both here and on the chat rooms there started mocking The Ohio State
University by
abbreviating the name tOSU.

After a year or so, the NCAA started making a lot of noise about
graduation rates, and
published a rather damning document Football grad rate at about 40% and
their Baseketball
rate at under 20%.

I remember posting a commentary to the effect that until tOSU got those
numbers up above
50%, I would call them d (for duh) OSU instead. It caught on among a few
readers - I think
there are a couple of guys who still use it. 

I was on the Bucknuts radio show talking about NU football one time, and
my appearance was
questioned by some readers, stating that I used dOSU in my commentaries.
Now that I'm not
writing much for sports, I've lost track of the grad rates at dOSU - are
they any better?

Yes, dOSU actually comes from some NU alums referring to them as tOSU in
posts.

I changed the "t" to "d" when one of the NCAA reports on graduation came
out showing their
lack of graduation prowess. I used to get roundly boiled by the dOSU
alums on the chat
boards because I did that.

Oh well, old news now that St. Tressel is about to be skewered.

Funny.  When NFL players announce their ala mater they generally say The
Ohio State
Univesity. So figured it derived from that. My late dad (today would be
his  94th b day)
was an OSU grad and while he rooted for them, he despised their emphasis
on sports at the
expense of academics

D stands for Duh - as in Duh Ohio State University, home of graduation
rates under 50%.

Can also stand for the Homeric (Simpson) Doh as in "Doh, OSU officials
claimed that they
didn't know the guy had flunked out prior to the season." Or, "doh OSU
basketball team
once again had a graduation rate under 50%." (which is what spurred the
original DuhOSU
back on Scout/Rivals)

It goes hand in hand with the Evil Empire for N**** D*** or MinnySoda,
or many of the
derisive names that I have used over the years when referring to
opponents.

I think it goes back to when I was working at Oklahoma - when we were
going to "Shuffle
off the Buffaloes" one season against Colorado.

Remember that the original Purple Reign Chat Board had an official
Grammar Policeman,
empowered to correct grammatical and spelling errors!

It appears that St. Tressel may have known about the violations of NCAA
Rules involving
Pryor and his mates--and not told the University, as he was
contractually bound to do, as
per this ESPN online report:
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=6194133

They are holding Press Conference at 7 p.m.  Stay tuned for "As The
Buckeye (Worm) Turns".
