The Ohio State University and the University of Michigan's longtime rivalry is spilling over into the legal system.
OSU lodged an opposition on Wednesday to a trademark application filed by The Brown Jug, Inc., a restaurant located just over a mile away from Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. The eatery is seeking federal trademark registration for the phrase "Buckeye Tears," intended for use on beer and liquor products it serves. Currently, "Buckeye Tears" is available on draft for $7.
