Fact: I lived in Ohio about as long as it takes to type this sentence.

Fact: I used to work with a man who was a diehard Wisconsin fan. His distaste for The Ohio State University was legendary.

Fact: He and I would play pranks on each other. One of my more epic pranks was to get into his Microsoft Office dictionary and instruct it to, whenever he typed the word ‘the,’ it would replace that word with the phrase ‘The Ohio State University Rules.’

Fact: I then taught him how to secure his computer when he walked away from it.

Fact: Other than that, I have no fondness for The Ohio State University, mostly because of that crazy insistence on the word ‘The’ in front of their name.

Fact: The previous fact notwithstanding, I just love this video. Kudos to the folks who dream this stuff up, and to the folks who choreograph it.
