Originally, I thought they called themselves tOSU because Oregon State had the same abbreviation ... I occasionally call Wisconsin tUW to separate us from the University of Washington ... I SHALL DECREE THAT UNTIL THE HUSKIES REALIZE THEIR PLACE IN THE COLLEGE SPORTS WORLD, HENCEFORTH WE WILL BE KNOWN AS tUW.
If fOSU used the "t" before their initials to separate themselves from the Oregon States and Oklahoma States of the world then I wouldn't mind it that much. But because they use it because they're pissed off at the University of Ohio being the state's main university back in the day, I can't STAND how they stress the "THE" in "t"OSU. It's the only reason I always type "f"OSU.

How often are Wisconsin and Washington talked about at the same time? I don't know if there has to be a differentiation between their initials. But hey, you're the mod, so whatever you want.

I look forward to seeing tUW next year. : P
