Thought this was cool. 2 streaks that will never be broken. Softball streak ended at 71 games.

Since my Alma UVA was I think 3-9 I've ot no room to talk smack but I have wondered since moving here, most all state universities are University of Pennsylvania, U of Virginia, U of California, and and that dreaded viper pit south of the Red River, the U. of Texas.

Here it Oklahoma University.

Any particular reason or just an Okieism, LOL?

Ok, I see its listed the same there but on most of the shirts, caps, etc. I see UO.

Not putting anyone down, Just curious about the difference.

Go Sooners. We're in the big conference now. Even with Saban retired, Bama will be formidable.

People say NIL ruined College Football...... it was always there.

Here it Oklahoma University.

It's officially the University of Oklahoma, and official University publications never refer to it as Oklahoma University, at least not for the last 40 years (although I may have some old notepads with that name on them squirreled away somewhere).

The notable exception to the "University of" nomenclature is Indiana University, and any Hoosier alum will correct you if you call it the University of Indiana. There is a University of Indiana, but it's not in the state of Indiana, it's in Pennsylvania--in the city of Indiana, Pennsylvania.

I gather that it's a sore subject for Hoosiers, judging by what I've been told by the IU alumni I've known.
