I go to SDSU (san Diego State University), and I haven't heard of any nicknames, buti have heard of some funny jokes:
*What is the first thing a SDSU girl does in the morning?
Walk home.
*How do you get a SDSU graduate off your front porch?
Pay him for the pizza.
*Why do they no longet serve ice at SDSU football games?
The senior who knew the recipe graduated.
I transfered to SDSU form a junior college, and there was a Targer next to it, so everyone called the school UBT- University Behind Target. I called it UBSD- University Before San Diego.
