The Gipper Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 10 hours ago, wargograw said: Define "often." I can think of basically no other examples than the one you cited (which I am again assuming was done by a woman and/or someone new to the game), and maybe the diplomas they give away and other official academic items. Obviously around here OSU refers to Oklahoma. Didn't know it was that way elsewhere too. I assumed there was no standard "OSU." I'm going to venture to guess that folks in California and Massachusetts and Utah and Georgia don't assume OSU refers to Ohio State. So yeah, Gipper's wrong again. But nevertheless, the larger point was no one calls LSU Louisiana State, and Gipper arguing it is just his contrarianism, and not any actual pursuit of the truth. You are proving to be a DumbAssTexan. Yes, it is most often called LSU.///I most often call it that. But to essentially say that it is never referred to as "Louisiana State" is just wrong and stupid. As for your assumption that people in other parts of the country don't think of OSU as Ohio state....you would almost certainly be wrong.....as you are relying for your position on Boo Fagley to support you. Now...do you see how dumb that makes you look. But....go ahead. Google just OSU and see what comes up. Here, I will help you in case you are too dumb to google: https://www.google.com/search?q=OSU&rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS775US775&oq=OSU&aqs=chrome..69i57.1439j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of that everything on the first page is related to the state generally, not the school. Type in Ohio State and it gives you a snapshot of the football team's schedule and results, Ohio State football news, and EVERY LISTING on the first page is related to the university. Type in OSU...as I just have.....and EVERY listing on the first page refers to Ohio State. Then about half way through the second page there is a reference to Oregon State. Of the first 21 listings, 20 are related to Ohio State. #11 references Oregon State....then Oklahoma State comes up at the 22 listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here if you google "all" most of page one is about some Australian rhythm game. Then it mentions Oregon State, then Oklahoma State....

It tries to guess it according to your location and your search history, among other data. This summer I went to Ukraine for 10 days and I still get adds in cyrillic sometimes.

Nero Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 'osu/OSU' (it shows same results to me) https://osu.ppy.sh/ https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osu! https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/osu! If I search 'OSU college' it shows me 2 first about Ohio St. U, third about Oklahoma, and fourth about Oregon, but probably it's biased as IIRC I have already searched for Ohio State University before.

The news articles were all Ohio related but there was only one actual link going to an Ohio State page, while Oklahoma State and Oregon State both had one as well. Nevertheless, you're deflecting, as you completely ignored the results about googling "Louisiana State," and that's what this discussion is primarily centered around. Thanks for playing.

gumby73 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 6 more & Dorsey seems to find guys that were at least drafted(2 more) a 5th in DB Corey White & 6th in RB Kelvin Taylor. What do the A&M guys remember about OL Joesph Cheek?

TexasAg1969 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Cheek was a legacy player @A&M. Father also played and was a 4 year pro. Been on PS with NO $ KC so Dorsey has some familiarity about his current status/potential as a player. Has to be better than Cam Erving was. LOL!

wargograw Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Joseph Cheek is really really bad (at least was in his last year of college). Benched by the end of the year. Some buddies of mine was lamenting how thing and pretty-boyish our OL was relative to the rest of the league. Someone said, "I've dated women uglier than Joseph Cheek."

Tour2ma Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 *** Mods *** May want to pin this for a while... Three more yesterday... Cleveland Browns sign three players Updated Jan 31, 12:09 PM; Posted Jan 31, 12:08 PM By Dan Labbe, cleveland.com dlabbe@cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns added three new players to their roster on Wednesday, the team announced. Tight end Devon Cajuste, defensive back Denzel Rice and offensive lineman Christian Schneider all signed with the team. Cajuste and Schneider are both officially in their first NFL seasons. Cajuste signed with San Francisco as an undrafted free agent in 2016 out of Stanford and spent most of his rookie season on Green Bay's practice squad. Schneider was a part of Green Bay's rookie minicamp last season and was a four-year starter at right tackle at UC-Davis. Rice originally signed with Philadelphia as an undrafted free agent in 2015 and has appeared in seven games, four with the Eagles in 2015 and three with the Texans in 2016. He spent time on Indianapolis' practice squad last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Possibly a few "more seasoned" people for special teams than we had last year......which I believe in fact cost us perhaps a few games. One for sure: Green Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
