Re: SID: SMU branding - SMU, not Southern MethodistI remember reading somewhere that USC, prefers USC, SC, and Southern California. They frown upon the use of Southern Cal. Lou Holtz never got the memo because he continues to call them Southern Cal and has for years.

Or maybe he did get the memo...
Re: SID: SMU branding - SMU, not Southern Methodist
Very funny & so true. BTW, you can also include Shanghai Maritime University in the discussion.
Re: SID: SMU branding - SMU, not Southern MethodistLike or not, St Marys calls themselves SMU, and lots of people call Southern Miss, SMU too.
Re: SID: SMU branding - SMU, not Southern MethodistI always felt like the espn bottom line would explode when SMU played USM.
Re: SID: SMU branding - SMU, not Southern MethodistI'd like to see SMU host a tournament with the following first round game - So. Miss vs. Saint Mary's U.
SMU-12 NCAA appearances, 1 Final Four
2014-15 & 2016-17 AAC Men's Basketball Champs
Re: SID: SMU branding - SMU, not Southern MethodistTo end all confusion it is now:
The SMU Just send 'da money.
Re: SID: SMU branding - SMU, not Southern Methodist
Actually So. Miss is USM and only called SMU by those that don't know. That is one of the reasons I liked when we went to CUSA, that maybe that perception would be corrected. ![]() Go Ponies!!
Beat whoever it is we are playing!! @PonyGrad
Re: SID: SMU branding - SMU, not Southern MethodistOnce we win the NCAA tournament there will be no more confusion.
Re: SID: SMU branding - SMU, not Southern Methodist
Which St. Mary's are you referring to? CalallenStang is right - St. Mary's University in San Antonio uses StMU on all of their gear, while St. Mary's in California is "St. Mary's College," so it wouldn't make sense for them to use SMU as an acronym.
Re: SID: SMU branding - SMU, not Southern MethodistTwitter calls smc and usm, smu. Happens more than you would think. .
Re: SID: SMU branding - SMU, not Southern MethodistThen there's the SMU Thurston Howell, III attended....

Re: SID: SMU branding - SMU, not Southern Methodist
I still email the people on the Yahoo! Sportstacular app every couple weeks because they call our basketball team's shortname "SM." Way worse than any of the other situations being described, imo. But I guess, SID, while you're at it, maybe you can pick this one up. Most recently they said they'll fix it during the offseason, but for something that takes 2 mins to fix, they sure have been pushing it off.

According to IMDB: The character of the Professor was supposedly a graduate from SMU, TCU and UCLA, Thurston Howell III went to Harvard. Howell would call an inferior a "Yale Man". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057751/trivia http://www.gilligansisle.com/thurston.html Dang, mind blown. Leader of the Band-itos.

Re: SID: SMU branding - SMU, not Southern MethodistDrives me CRAZY when I see us called "Southern Methodist". Makes us sound like some rural divinity school. The SMU administration really needs to eliminate the disjointed branding and standardize on SMU.
