Re: It's Time for College Hockey to Leave the NCAA

It's hard to believe how many times people use "loose" when they mean "lose".

Wow - and here I thought this thread was going to be a complete train wreck, but you've managed to turn it around into a useful discussion of the incorrect grammar of some popular expressions. Outstanding work, folks!

It is Miami of Ohio, it's certainly not in Florida.

From Miami's 2010-11 Media Guide:

<I><b>Miami University, Please</b>
When referring to Miami, please use Miami University, Miami University (Ohio) or Miami (Ohio). Please do not use Miami of Ohio, University of Miami of Ohio, etc. The latter are not the proper names for our institution. Also in 1997, the University began using its new nickname, the RedHawks. It is one word with a capital H. Thank you.</I>

Miami (Ohio) is ok, but Miami of Ohio is not? God I love marketing people. And by love, I mean hate.

I would imagine that "Miami (Ohio)" is intended for print, while "Miami of Ohio" is aimed at broadcasters, who are the real problem as far as the university is concerned. It's understandable why we make the effort to differentiate our brand, but kind of a lost cause at this point.

You would be suprised how many people legitimatley believe that Miami of Ohio is the offical school name.

I'm not a marketing person, yet I completely understand the difference between a parenthetical added for clarity and a bastardization of a school's name.

They don't teach you that at Dartmouth of New Hampshire? Really? What do you mean that's not the school's name? I grew up on the NH-Mass border and always added that for clarity, since people never knew if you were referring to Dartmouth of New Hampshire or UMass-Dartmouth. Weird that it would bother people if that caught on.

That's what your school gets for making a bet with some small private school in Florida over who gets to keep the original name based on football national titles.

University of Miami - Coral Gables, FL

Miami University - Oxford, OH

:confused:

Different names aside, if their NTs all get vacated can we have the name back, getting the ones from the 80s could be tough, be we can work on this? :)
