But see Notre Dame and Baylor don't chant our name, wear our letters on their jerseys, and play in stadiums named for our university. Ohio State does all of these things and because of this they have to be seen as the enemy. Their gain is our loss. You wouldn't root for Miami or Kent State even if you grew up a fan of theirs would you? No, because their success comes at the expense of Ohio. That makes them our rival.
