Verne lovessssssssss it.



It bugs me. No other school is singled out. Alabama isn't called "the University of Alabama," it's just called Alabama.

Florida isn't called "the University of Florida," it's just Florida.


University of Mississippi is called "Ole Miss." Where's the "Ole" come from? Yet they're still called "Ole Miss by everyone.

Call us LSU.

Bad example, Bama & Florida are not "State" schools. By leaving the University out of the name, you're making a case for "Louisiana State" IMO

This.

We just do it differently. Louisiana State University is just LSU, not Louisiana State. University of Louisiana at Lafayette is not "Louisiana" either.
