Looks like a local paper, and since it is the only University up there, I get it I guess.Since when did Minnesota start referring to themselves as "The U"?
That's what my CU buddy from MN says. Why do you think so?I have said on forums that CU is the Minnesota of the Pac-12.

Same time that South Carolina refers to itself as USC or Northern Colorado as UNC. Funny story back in the AIM days when everyone listed the colleges they got into there, my friend listed "FSU," so I said you got into Florida State. He said, "no, Frostburg (State)," that was awkward.Since when did Minnesota start referring to themselves as "The U"?
I think the Minnesota distinction has more to do with it being a public school.Apparently we are the Northwestern of the Pac-12. Talking about fundraising, with nothing to show for it.

And the administration's attitude towards football. It wouldn't shock me if CU football ended up sharing Sports Authority Field with the Broncos down the road due to the neglect of Folsom Field. That might be the outcome if the $170 million facilities plan falls through and nothing is done with Folsom Field.
