This is a stupid thing to be annoyed about, but I hate when, in conversation, people call a university by a term that means a different university. I actually had a coworker (a dude who didn't really watch sports) tell me how bad LSU was gonna get beat by "Florida" because they were ranked #1 when in reality it was Florida State that was ranked that high (in 2014 or whenever). I don't know if UF was even ranked at the time.

Leading up to the 07 championship game, I wanted to slap people who kept talking about "Ohio" vs. LSU.

There are plenty of recent examples I've heard: Texas, Texas Tech and Texas A&M, Michigan and Michigan State, OU and Okie State.

It's like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Yeah I feel ya. My Paw Paw always calls the Seawhawks "Washington". I thought he was on crack when he first told me "I think Washington's the best team in the league right now" and I was just like...."the Redskins? Really?"
