Cut the kid some slack. How many people say Notre Dame University instead of University of Notre Dame (clue: plenty) ... and how many on this board have repeatedly confused UK with KU? Let's put it to rest and be happy that the kid wants to be here, be it with USJ or SJU.

I resemble the scolding since I said nothing negative at all. But now that you brought it up is it really too much for a 17-18 yr old that has picked a college and has put some thought into all aspects of the school at least presumably to get the name right? How about if we got his name wrong he probably wouldn't have chosen us, bodkin.

Layoff I remember watching an NBA player being interviewed (forget who) and after playing for 4 years he called it Georgia Tech University instead of Georgia Institute of Technology and he actually went there

Just wondering why you used my name at the end of your post.

Again, cut him some slack. Fact is he's, what?, an 18-year-old high school kid, and at the time -- about to reveal a very important decision about his future in front of his teammates, coaches, family, and members of the media -- undoubtedly a very nervous kid at that. Hey, at least everyone understood the school he picked. (As for your "resembling" my comment: homage to Norm Crosby?)
Yes, loved Norm Crosby! My first job after graduating SJU was as a court officer and I was the only college grad with almost everyone else just HS. Used to intentionally use malapropos and this one guy used to always correct me an say I can't believe you went to college!

Was intentionally trying to get redken's name wrong and thought of using a name that was close and rhymed and thought of using a takeoff on yours.I resemble the scolding since I said nothing negative at all.

Wow, now that was a stretch! (Or given your love of malaprops, should I say "stench"?)
Now back to Adonis ...
