I went to Berkeley, frequently referred to as Cal.

M comes downstairs wearing a Cal shirt, I say, "you're wearing your Cal shirt."

He says, "Moooooo."

I had no idea Cal Berkeley was an agriculture school!

(Says the woman who graduated from the "official" Moo U!)

Cal = Cow... I get it. They sound alike.

That is funny.  My BIL asked the other day "What is this school they refer to as California"?   I knew it was Berkeley because I went to UCLA and they are both in the PAC 10 (now PAC 12) but I am not sure if it is always that obvious.

They do! And the more I tried to explain it to him the more he mooed. Oh well, it'll make for an embarrassing story to tell his dorm-mates when he goes there :P

Yeah. It's called California because it was the first UC, but no one knows that and assumes you're referring to Cal State.

Iowa State Univ.  It's a big agriculture and veterinarian college.  Pretty much what most people in Iowa call it, especially Hawkeye fans. 

And to show off my geekiness here.  A bit of trivia.  There's a great book called Moo, written by author Jane Smiley.  (I think she won a pultizer or whatever for A Thousand Acres)  Smiley is/was an ISU professor of English and Moo is a very thinly veiled humorous parody of campus life at Iowa State.. .
