The (pronounced "thee")

Sorry NFL players,

The Ohio State University was the first "The". You can add it to your school if you want but

a) it's probably not part of your school's generally recognized name (uh, yeah....who says "The Pennsylvania State University"?)

and/or

b) you'll look silly proclaiming your school is "The" university of whatever. (e.g., Penn State)

Go Bucks!

;-) (It's all right. I love you Nittnay Lions like a good conference rival deserves. And I'd take a job there in a second!)
