No, Ohio State isn't removing the 'UM" from the "Buckeye Stadium" sign.

 

Earlier today, we bit on a post from the Ohio State blog Eleven Warriors that the school was removing the "UM" in advance of theit rivalry game against michigan. Here is the original photo. 

Sadly, like many things on the internet, it was too good to be true. Here's the current view of Buckeye Stadium.

According to another Ohio State blog Land-Grant Holy-Land, a OSU spokesperson confirmed that the sign was not being altered and there are no plans to do so.

Curse you, internets.
