Why is Louisiana State always referred to as LSU, while we have Ohio State, Penn State. Oklahoma State. etc? Any particular reason?
My best guess...
There's only one LSU. Meaning, there's only one state that starts with an L.
It's the same with FSU. Do some say Florida State...sure, but most just say FSU.
Besides, you couldn't just say OSU. Which OSU would you be talking about?
Penn State is just easier to say than PSU...
Any others? I can debunk all night.
