"Fresno" is not a state

Tweet

Ok, this is a discussion I meant to start a couple weeks ago but totally forgot about it until - now for some strange reason. A few weeks ago, my husband and I were at this little restaurant having lunch. They had a bar and one of the football games that was on was Fresno State vs Colorado State. Well, I looked at my husband, and being the little-miss-devils-advocate, I told him that Fresno's not a state so it shouldn't be called Fresno State. It could be California State at Fresno, because that's right. He said it didn't matter because what it means is that it's a STATE college. So I repeated that is should be California State at Fresno. He didn't like that at all and said "What about Towson State, that's not a state". Nope it's not! And maybe it should be Maryland State at Towson. There's University of Maryland at Baltimore, why can't there be Maryland State at Towson? Now, I was just being a smart-a$$ because it struck me as funny. But wouldn't you know it, a minute later, there's someone in the stands (oh, I think the game was at Colorado State) holds up a sign that says "Fresno's not a state". I about died laughing!!! My husband was just rolling his eyes. Do things like that ever strike you as odd? Sayings that we have that really don't make any sense or aren't accurate???
