I think we should start going by THE BYU. It would distinguish us from BYU-I

The name BYU distinguishes BYU from BYU-I and BYU-H

Would BYU-Hawaii be Hagoth University?

That is a thought. Or Mannasah

Be better to change the names of BYU-I and BYU-H.

Ask your parents what their parents called it. Also where did they live?

"The Y" might have come from "The BY".

My in-laws called it that and we always joked about it when they did.

From the 1960s it was called the BYU. A holdover from the BYA or just Academy

Or just keep calling BYU-I Ricks just to upset the people that insist on calling BYU BYU-P. I find that stops that

This is fantastic! Totally going to do this lol

ColonelMustard

Actually I think I’m just going to start calling it “byu rexburg”

ColonelMustard

4/11/21 11:42pm

BYU Rexburg? Do you mean BYU-I Rexburg?

travelcoug

4/12/21 12:40am

Kylester

4/12/21 10:54am

Haha riigghht and I suppose next you’ll tell me that USU isn’t in Ogden

travelcoug

4/12/21 11:01am

Weber State is, but not USU which is in Logan, I don't know much colleges in

Kylester

4/12/21 11:44am

I guess when you have to explain the joke it isn’t funny call, but here goes

travelcoug

4/12/21 11:52am

The irony is people troll USU fans with the “Ogden” joke, but are easily

Metallicat

4/12/21 12:15pm

Is it irony? Or is it just people being annoyed by the same type of thing.

Bonney fuller didn’t start it but he perpetuated it. It started because a news

ColonelMustard

4/12/21 5:49pm

And we all know that if it’s at the news,… It’s true!

My grandma’s generation still refers to it as “the BYU.”

CrimsonCardinal

4/12/21 9:16am

Same here. So weird. “Let’s go for a drive up to the BYU.”
