What are the biggest faux pas?
We know GSU is out ( could be state, or southern ).
ASU is out ( could be Ark or App )
TSU is out ( Tstate thinks it's Tsouthern ).

Appalachian State University - App, Appy, ASU
Georgia State University - GaSt, Gstate
Georgia Southern University - GaSo, Gso
Troy University - Troy ( that was easy )
University of South Alabama - USA, SoBam
University of Louisiana Lafayette - LaLa, Ulaf, U-La-La
University of Louisiana Monroe - LaMon, Umon
Arkansas State University - stAte, ArkieState
Texas State University - Tstate, TxSt
New Mexico State University - NMSU, en-em-a-zoo,
University of Idaho - Idaho, U-da-ho

University of South Alabama
USA
South Alabama
South
Jags/Jaguars
South AL

Please, just say no to "South Al". Oops, "South AL".

I don't mind "South AL" being used on ESPN or other place to show a score when an abbreviation is needed. It identifies who we are much more effectively than "USA" or "SOAL" or even "S Alabama" can.

RE: Acceptable Handles
Georgia Southern should be GS or just Georgia Southern.

Not a big fan of the GaSo, GaSou, etc.

GS or Georgia Southern, please. :)

Perhaps. But NMSU may have the biggest nuts [Image: images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ8oRGUPcvp_6qBFcFw7Ef...8p2i3tqmzg].

That would be more acceptable than an opponent's announcer referring to USA as "South Al".

None of the ones listed for the Ragin Cajuns is acceptable as you'd be hard pressed to find any Cajun fan that uses any of those. Call us Louisiana. That's our brand. If you can't. Then call us Cajuns.

People are not going to do what you ask regardless of the many post on this site. There is plenty of information in this thread to use in replying to those that want to be jerks. I would suggest that Cajun fans just use whatever abbreviations are appropriate when addressing those posters. We've had enough discussion about names on this site, no more request from me.

If more of you did that eventually all the old guys would die and you would get what you want. Jumping on the ones who use the other names are just playing into what they want. Ragin Cajuns!

Would not use it if your fans don't like it but
South AL isn't that bad sounding.

I don't mind Appy. In fact make it Happy Appy if you think it

UL-L fans hate it when you bastardize their moniker or leave off letters and prefer you always use the official University labeling of "UL-L"
