It's a valid point, though. Miami of Ohio was founded just a few years after Ohio University. O.U. was 1804, I believe Miami was 1808 or maybe 1811 (?).
In any event, both have been around a long time, and it is frustrating to be confused with newer or larger schools (Like Ohio State in our case)

Thanks. I just went to the Miami (Ohio) website and discovered that.
I knew it was around then. Appreciate the correction.

Gorgeous blue water, seasonable temps all year, amazing tropical animals and wildlife, ah, I love it.

When I was a student at OU (the University of Oklahoma, not the University of Ohio  ) many native Okies thought I hailed from that wide spot on the road in far northeast Oklahoma instead of that vibrant, cosmopolitan city by the sea in Florida!
BTW, the wide spot in the road in Oklahoma is pronounced "My-am-uh"; "My-am-ee" is how the Magic City is pronounced. (Unless you're from Latin America; many pronounce it "Mee-am-ee".

Just remember... when you're up to your ass in alligators, it's hard to remember the primary objective was to drain the swamp!

ok this is kinda off topic.. but what about the other schools in miami
namely FIU...
I cant tell you how many times people ask.. ohh so you live in miami??? oh so you must go to UM... grrr NOOO i live in MIAMI and i go to FIU
anyways i had a professor once who said.. UM is the university who doesnt know what city it is in.. he said they should rename it the University of Coral Gables....LOL i laughed when i heard this but when i told my boyfriend i got an earful..
for the record...i have nothing against UM... my boyfriend is an alum
regardless walking on the campus of FIU is sad at times cause more people wear UM gear than FIU gear... there was a funny pic and article in our student newspaper ... here i hope these links work
article http://www.beaconnewspaper.com/news/...l-843354.shtml
editorial cartoon

(you have to click the actual thumbnail of the pic to make it larger)

Thanks, but FYI, it's Ohio University. Remarkably enough, that's why we know it as O.U.
Just yanking your chain since, as you know, I have a close relative at "that other O.U." The younger one.
