I went back this week and watched some clips from the 1968 national championship season and I noticed that we were called "Ohio" very frequently, even in the Shoe the scoreboard listed us as "Ohio" and in the Rose Bowl our endzone was painted "Ohio", not "Ohio State". No wonder Bo Schembechler called us "Ohio", apparently that's what everyone did back then including OSU itself.

I always thought Brady Hoke called us "Ohio" in an effort to sound like Bo, but now I think that he was just stuck in the past and never realized that nobody calls us "Ohio" anymore. This also explains why he never figured out how to use a headset.

It's funny that fans of ttun think that by calling us "Ohio" they're demeaning us somehow. Instead, it just shows how out of date they are.

Here's a couple videos from the 1968 championship season in case anyone is interested.
