Most people say or write U of A when referring to Arkansas within the state.


This.

Arkansas = U of A
Alabama = UA
Arizona = WGAF

By the way, have you mandated a new sig pic yet, CNB?

I've always thought USCe should market yourselves as SC.

Southern Cal has SC trademarked. Hence our baseball hats losing the lawsuit (it being filed in the Supreme Court district out west hurt)

There is, or at least used to be an agreement to share the USC acronym.

That's why when I hear or see "MSU" I immediately think Michigan State, right? I mean Saban did coach there and all. And their colors ... that emerald green thing they have going on with Sparty and all. MSU is definitely Michigan State - I agree with you Roger.

Took me like 5-10 mins.

It's not hard to remember acronyms. I did all of it from memory.

Right on. Unfortunately we have a host of ingrates on this board that grew up with the internet culture and because some idiot looked stupid on The O'Reilly Factor one time, we have to hear the same tired stupid stuff on the internet. It isn't funny. It wasn't funny when it actually happened on TV, and you make the board worse every time you do that. No one thinks it is clever anymore. The meme is like a decade old at this point. Learn a new trick internet monkeys like Bob Ag and your ilk. Also looking at you Roger Klarvin and others.

I don't think we should share anything. The trojans just need to go back to calling themselves SoCal like I and so many other folks did before espn thought it was cute to start referring to them as "USC". I remember times when I was watching scores across the tv and they had "SOCAL" in the box not "USC".

The minute they sued our team over a logo they lost all credibility about who the real usc was. If they were usc then they wouldn't have had to take us to court over it.
