I think my dad's in the minority...
My dad got his masters from Sangamon State University in Illinois. In 1995 Sangamon State joined the U of IL system and his alma mater's name changed to the University of Illinois at Springfield. He was pretty jazzed about it, actually. "Nobody's ever heard of Sangamon State, but you say the University of Illinois and people know what you mean." He got a new degree certificate for his wall and changed his resume and everything.
