Letter between L and N dropped by Ohio governor as OSU battles “That School Up North”

Ohioans were urged to avoid the 13th letter of the alphabet and to refrain from wearing pleated khakis on Scarlet Letter Saturday in a procla*ation released by Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Lt. Gov. *ary Taylor.

The letter of the alphabet after L and before N was stricken from the resolution and the resulting press notice released Friday in connection with the rivalry football ga*e on Saturday between Ohio State University and “That School Up North.”

Kasich and Taylor hailed the unique styles of the great Ohio-born coaches involved in The Ga*e: Ji* Tressel’s sweater vest, Woody Hayes’ signature glasses and Barberton-born Bo Sche*bechler’s ti*eless hat.
