Really? I did not realize that there were so many Afghans that could afford to go to Universities in the United States? I guess you learn something everyday......or maybe not.

Probably wouldn't have escalated if you had just stated that you didn't think a name change was a good idea because of x and y. Instead, you just acted all irrational and butthurt over such a trivial thing. ironic that on this forum you'd be offended that a thread existed that wasn't on your list of top priorities. there's tons of threads on this board about randomness that are of no concern. some of which you started but you don't see me trolling, like you. I can't speak for the op but the knee-jerk reactions are kind of amusing.

don't be a baby. if you hate the idea of anyone discussing the merits of a name change then STOP BUMPING IT.

Why not a Tampa State U. while there is the University of Tampa?
Or the University of the Gulf Coast vs. Florida Gulf Coast U?

You have Boston Univ. and Boston College. That is more confusing.

Or how about University of San Diego, San Diego State Univ. and the University of California, San Diegoan Diego[/b]

As previously stated, Florida Gulf Coast University would have a problem with their name being taken to be used by USF.
It might be just a bit confusing to have 2 universities named the same.

I like Tampa Bay State. I'd love to see this and once you get over the fact that something changed I think most others in the area would, too. im just looking at this from a marketing angle for the benefit of TB.

Good Question...

I think we should concentrate on banning panhandling in Tampa first...St Pete did it, and its only a bridge away...its Tampa's turn to get some balls, and do something about it now.

It is truly hard to get one's priorities straight. BucFan, think of it this way...this person has absolutely nothing to do but spend their time thinking about changing a name that did not need changing in 50 years.

I think you should go to Pepsi instead, and have them design a new can!
They LOVE to do that. But while you're at it, ask them if they will be willing to change their name to "PHOSPHO"...(after one of the ingredients, that should probably NOT be in it, just like South Florida is not in Tampa!)

Why do you continue troll this thread? Why not just say that you do not think that a name change is a good idea and move on?

Words can not fully express how ridiculous your stance is. Not liking the name change is perfectly ok, but to get upset that somebody is actually DISCUSSING the name change is borderline crazy. This claim that we as society should ONLY bother contemplating the top 5 most important issues is pretty laughable. Would you like a list of threads that exist on this board that are not about relocation and are not about panhandling?

Free advertisement. Do you know how many millions of dollars the tax payers in the TB area already spend on advertisement? Both your local and state tax dollars goes towards this and it's significant. Here, you have free publicity every time USF plays on national TV. Their sports programs are gaining some serious momentum.

I thought the OP had a clever idea. Sorry if discussing it offends you.
