No it isn't, when discussing sports USC/SC = Southern Cal. You have to specify it is the other school who uses their acronyms as they are not as relevant as Southern Cal.
Yeah, we get it. South Carolina has sucked for a good portion of their history. To have to specify USC is South Carolina on an SEC board is shite and you should be ashamed.
Shame upon your house!

Yeah, typo.

My previous post's point stands.

People confuse us with cash machines. Can't blame them.

You would have the point if message board poster used UA or YouOfA in reference to Arkansas.
They don't.

I sincerely hope you didn't spend as much time on this as it appears you did.

I don't many think of Arky when they see UA.

What about YouOfA?

They do it to frick with you, fight the power.
USC wins the east this year, and I don't mean Southern California.

Some topics discuss, you know, the national picture, bowl games, MNC game, etc.
In cases like that it is important to specify USCjr when talking about USCjr.

UofM is a common one, Minnesota and Michigan fans use that term commonly. The annual game should be for the rights to the name for that year
UW would be too, but Washington is UDub, I always call Wisconsin Wisky, and Wyoming is Wyo
Until recently, everyone outside of SoCal figured SDSU(San Diego State) was South Dakota State(SD St)
The USC debate has me saying SC for the condoms, and SCar for the Cocks
Buckeyes get the little t, while it's easier to just say Beavers, and Oklahoma State gets OSU
Arizona=UofA
Who gets the UA during Bama/Arky games? Both?

UT - Texas, Tennessee
My common response:
Tennessee was a school before Texas was a state.
Texas might not even be a state without Tennessee (UT sent the most Volunteers to defend the Alamo- hence the name.)
