I kinda like it. Baseball is the only sport where we are referred to as Louisiana State University instead of LSU. D1Baseball, Baseball America, etc all call us that.

Yes, that was a Verne signature call:

“Touchdown, Louisiana State University!”

Only USC and UCLA come to mind.
Maybe NC State but you wouldn’t say L State U.
I might just start saying L State U though, why not

TCU and SMU. FAMU. UNLV.

I would probably include UNC even if they are also called North Carolina just as often (if not moreso). Similar to USC/Southern Cal in that way.
