It's good to be king.
It took a few years to get the job done, but Ohio State's legal eagles finally bent the United States Patent and Trademark Office to its scarlet and gray will, winning the trademark to the most common word in the English language: THE. There is only one university on the planet that has the gravity to pull off a flex like that, when you think about it.
It's a good time to be a Buckeye. Not content to have a couple of the top recruits in the class, Ryan Day and his staff continue to bring in blue chipper after blue chipper, and this week was no exception.
And not to be left behind, it was a big week for Buckeye basketball, too, as the program saw two of its stars drafted to the NBA for the first time since 2007, while one of its favorite alumni of all time was announced as a pending OSU Hall of Famer.
Plus, Ask Us Anything wants to know if Elon Musk could turn Rutgers into a title contender, and how we navigate Red, White and Boom. Oh, and an important reminder: you can ask us all kinds of fantastical things by sending us questions to dubcast@elevenwarriors.com!
