Texas State University

* Please, please, do not refer to Texas State as TSU. When the name change was rammed down our throats, we (alumni) expressed concern that we would be referred to as TSU, which is already used by Texas Southern University and Tarleton State. We were assured it would not happen - and yet, when I delivered my daughter to her dorm as a freshman, what was on the door? A paw with TSU. I may have ranted a bit to a bewildered RA. I realize it may be a bit of a sisyphean fight, but as a member of a three generation Bobcat family, it is one I will continue. TX State, please.

ETA - My money is on expansion.

My apologies. I don't know the school and went with the logical acronym. But as an Iowan (75% vowels, 100% awesome), I appreciate the frustration in mangling of the schools in my area. Everyone from Iowa (the state) knows the University of Northern Iowa as UNI but for some reason the media always calls it Northern Iowa. Maybe that's for the benefit of those outside the region. But still. Get it right!

As the mom of four Tarleton grads, they agree with you wholeheartedly!! Tarleton is TSU. And while they are not happy do is Texas Southern!!
