(which if you think about it makes more sense, since we're cheering for the school OHIO, not the letter O). Yes, this is correct.  That's the way it was done when I was in school back in the days of Rev. Cutler.  I don't know exactly when the OHIO at the end morphed into OHHHHHHHHHH.  I still say it the old-fashioned way, and I've noticed that some other folks who graduated in the 1960s and '70s do the same.  Perhaps, the Ozone could encourage folks to go back to that way of doing it, which would help the branding and help balance the OU-OH Yeah initiative.   The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

Enjoy being lousy, just a party-school "OU" when you could be OHIO.  Well, it's at least better than doing the A&M cheer and adding "U." on the end.  That was the worst idea ever.   +1...x 8 billion I understand why you say that, but do you understand how mad that made OSU fans? But, why did some fans do it at basketball games this past season when OSU was not in house?  Double stupid.

I appreciate all our fans, and all the support they give the OZone, but why is it that we try to do something good and people still complain? We did something that's never been done to that magnitude before, something PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY admitted was amazing, and yet, there are still people complaining and whining that it's "not Ohio." You're right, it's not Ohio, we have other cheer for that which have been mentioned. This is something that can unify the stadium (which it did) and bring together the Ohio University community as a whole. Please, stop complaining, and lets all actually just enjoy something special which has been brought to this great university. Can't we all just get along?

The best cheer I've ever seen in Peden Stadium or any MAC stadium. We are Ohio and we are OU...why can't we be both? As long as this university exists, students and locals will always refer to it as OU. And that's OK. As long as they're supporting the program, why do we care about what our own fans call us? I don't mind being called "OU". As long as its no "Ohio U"...I'm happy.

Absolute friggin home run. Nailed it. Peden was ROCKIN'.
