Besides this one, here's some others I've heard....
Purdon't (for Purdue)
Ewy-Pooy (for IUPUI. I'm not sure if people who go there actually call it that, but when I first heard it recently, it sounded like a diss to me, lol)
And I remember I went to a DePaul women's basketball game (my friends mom, who was my grade school basketball coach played there in college, and after every season she took us all to a game)...well they played St. Louis University, and then the cheerleaders chanted "S-L-U", the jazz band would shout "T!" at the end, lol
