Ohio Earn and Learn: The Subliminals

Allwords.com Definition of ole: I wonder if the flaks for Ohio Learn and Earn considered the subliminal Spanish cry of "ole" in their OLE acronymn. Usually, the traditional cheer follows close on a bull's getting artfully faked out by some tricked-out guy waving a red cape, which right at the last minute disappears into thin air. There may be a lesson here, muchacho.
