Maybe it's because SJSU was the first team I rooted for as a wee lad, but it really bothers me when folks say SJS for San Jose State. It's SJSU.
Why do people say SJS instead of SJSU? It's not because we just say San Jose State and not San Jose State University. We only say Penn State but everyone knows that it's PSU. Same for Arizona State (ASU), Boise State (BSU), Ohio State (OSU), Oklahoma State (OSU), Washington State (WSU), etc. I also thought maybe because it's only 3 letters. But we say Bama, MTSU, SDSU, TAMU, Wake, etc. So, it's just gotta be because SJSU is a nobody that nobody has ever heard of and folks just don't know any better. But that don't really make any sense because RBR is home to the smartest most erudite sports fans on the planet.
Ok, I'll get off of my soap box now and let the bashing begin.
