@rick4bama,
Long story short.
You remember several years ago when the players had their own videos in pregame lineups? You'll remember that's when we really started hearing the phrase, "THE Ohio State University."
I know what they're driving at...it's some in state thing with Ohio University. It's as if we can't tell the difference between "I'm from Ohio University" versus "State" or we don't know who we're watching on TV. I thought the whole thing was stupid from day one.
Speaking of the word "the..."
It's The Citadel. If you ask someone from The Citadel where they went to school, they'll tell you, "The Citadel." It's more of a part of the name than the word "the" is in The University of Alabama.
On one hand you have players demanding some respect. On the other hand, you have a school that demands the respect. A play on words, yes. The Citadel is deserving of the phrase "demands respect" on their academics alone.
