Ohio State likes to call itself “THE Ohio State University” from time to time. It’s just what the Buckeyes do. Ohio State actually tried to trademark “THE” at one point.
RELATED:
So, when Utah football’s official Twitter tweeted about “THE University of Utah,” the Buckeyes weren’t really having it:
THE University of Utah.

Jeffrey Okudah is a star defensive back for the Buckeyes. He likely isn’t taking too kindly to Utah’s tweet. Or, he’s just laughing at it, which is what his tweet in response would insinuate.
But, why did Utah tweet that in the first place? Because it flipped an Ohio State commit to Utah on Thursday, the second day of the Early Signing Period.
So, Utah decided to poke “THE” bear. Here are some other replies from Buckeye Nation:

Whenever these two teams play again, it should be a fun one. Hopefully it’s sooner than later.
