Yea cause something they actually do on the field and can be proud of accomplishing in a very select group is worse than a stupid gimmick with the word THE is wayyyyy worse.

The Ohio State University is the real DBU, so there's that.

SMH. Imagine thinking this is driven by athletics.

Very long list of universities with "the" in the name, but only one of them is so insecure that they emphasize it at every opportunity and drag it through the courts and shite.

Calling yourself DBU has nothing to do with what happens on the field? Ok lol

That isn't what's being discussed, or what you were melting about with the reference. I pointed out why it's silly to compare the two.

You know how professional teams and universities send very threatening letters to grade and high schools using their logo? They don't do that because they hate kids
There's a reason companies and institutions are so protective of their brand.

It wasn’t being discussed. Someone else brought up DBU and said it was worse. I responded that it had a foundation with what actually happens on the field.

Ok cool. You’re protecting your brand.
It’s still the lamest and most cringe worthy thing to emphasize it whenever possible in text or speech, which is what the op was about.

Why are y'all pretending that everybody is talking about the words themselves and not the corny emphasis on THE. Everybody knows what this thread is about
correct.
if they called themselves The Ohio State university, i doubt anyone would care.
but instead they all say THE Ohio State University.

A few players in the NFL does it. LSU players say DBU, Miami player say Da U, etc.
Not really sure it's worth getting this riled up about, baw

Like I said above, this has merit for actual stuff that happens on the field.

I mentioned that in OP. It’s not quite as bad. Doesn’t happen as often.

You're very angry about something so mundane.
Might want to take a break from the internet for a while, gramps.

Right, and then you compared the two when you said "a stupid gimmick with the word THE is wayyyyy worse."
What's confusing you here?
Posted on 1/16/23 at 5:23 pm to DisplacedBuckeye
Somebody else compared them. I explained how DBU is not worse.

It’s Ohio. The only other things they have to be proud of are meth, opioid addiction, and Lebron James. It’s no wonder they want to draw your attention by emphasizing the as if it grants them some semblance of superiority.

They trademarked it. They trademarked the word "the." That is infinitely more lame than saying it.
