UPenn.
Hmm... I've never heard anyone talk about Penn in any sports context (so I hear people talk about them very little), but whenever I have, I've always heard them referred to as Penn, not UPenn or UP. 

The only UP I'm familiar with as a regular acronym is the upper peninsula.

Michigan alums hate when you say UMAA, so you definitely DON'T want to do that
UMF has a nice ring to it.

Dawg fans are starting to resemble Bama fans, or perhaps they wish they could.  I saw some pretty good meltdowns after the latest loss.  I may register "firekirby.com"
 in advance.
probably too late

Nobody here is going to debate you on this point. It isn't your opinion, it is an undeniable reality. We've had discussions as to why and whether it will change but those are different.
As I've said, the 2022 NCAAT killed my Purdue fandom. I simply refuse to let them hurt me again. 

Which is good, or else the 2023 NCAAT really would have stung. 

And whatever happens this year would probably be even worse.

With each new coaching search, Texas fans go out and buy up all of the "Fire ______" websites, for when we'll eventually need to use them.

Not so much here, but there's a large amount of OSU fans that go to the ledge with a single loss. Some calls for firing Ryan Day and ensuring they're helping an 11-1 first year qb out the door. Having so much success makes losses even more difficult. 

That's the part of the game i think NIL is going to destroy and same with these super conferences. I loved watching a Big Ten team that typically lost 3-4 games a year make a run and win a conference title. It made that experience even more special. Now, a system is being set up where talent at mid-level schools have financial incentive to leave after a successful season and get paid at a helmet school with more money. I hate it. 

That being said, i wonder how helmet schools accustomed to winning will cope with potential an extra loss or two a year now that the conferences are huge and there will be another 1-2 top tier schools in each conference.

until march.

i'll see myself out...
Don't leave. It's common here. There's some passionate debates in this group, but they come from decent people. Everyone has flaws and sometimes really piss each other off, but the group is a million times better than the average fan.

when we have a 3 loss season, and it'll be relatively soon imo, people will lose their damn minds. and i don't mean call in finebaum saying saban's past it. that happens now after close wins. no, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth, riots and protests, probably a couple inter-family murders, it'll be pandemonium. and we'll be 9 or 10-3, probably in the cotton bowl or peach or something. when we have a losing season, "prophets" will claim armageddon is upon us, the apocalypse is in full swing, whoever the tenn coach is at the time is the anti-christ, a second civil war will start, but just against auburn to kick them out of the state. i might leave the country i shame.

Just wait 'til Bama's qb gets hurt for 3 games, they lose them, but he comes back, wins the rest of the games, but a 9-3 Bama is on the bubble for the 12-team playoffs.  There will be mass indignation and immediate plans to move to ELA's 64 team tournament.  

And even then, Arkansas is gonna complain about getting shafted.

UM-F and UM-D are actual branch campuses.  I think UM played UM-Dearborn once in the 90s in hoops
