I had not expected German to do much this year, but I guess either the accident was overstated or he is a quick healer. Glad to see it.

Originally posted by ghOf course, Trojan detractors like to refer to USC as University of Second Choice or University of Spoiled Children. I'm sure there must be a UCLA equivalent.

"UC" was generally (almost always?) going to be parsed at 'U of California'; I think that CU was the result of that reality.
Now, I guess other names have wormed their way into the vernacular, such as the hated "University of California Berkeley" and "Cal Berkeley." Cal and University of California need no further delineation – The other baby Bears do.

I used to think I went to SU, but I reckon so do these people:
Salisbury University
Samford University
Schreiner University
Seattle University
Shenandoah University
Shepherd University
Simpson University
South University
Southern University
Stetson University
Strayer University
Suffolk University
Sullivan University
Susquehanna University
Syracuse University
Alumni from that last one can get real snippy about it! :evil:
