Just curious. It's been bugging me since I noticed it last week.

Which came first? The chicken or the egg?
There was a thread last year where this came up if you're interested:

Just an FYI - because it's a huge pet peeve of mine - you say either The Ohio State University or Ohio State. Don't use the "The" if you aren't also saying University.
I attend OSU, but apparently not THE OSU. The other OSUs (Oregon and Oklahoma, respectively) don't get the honor of being THE OSU.
Oklahoma State: "Hey, y'know, we're kinda in the big 12 too, and..."
THE Ohio St U: "Shut up Oklahoma, nobody cares."
Oregon St U: *cowers in the corner*
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe they renamed the school "The University of Florida at Columbus, Ohio" in 2007. After all, we do own them.
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Legend also has it that "The" was used to show the other colleges which institution was supposed to be the leader in the state - both in size and in financial support from the legislature. .
This thread is two years old.
But interesting nonetheless!This thread is two years old.
well, considering how AWESOME the people who are going to THE Ohio state this year from the forum.
