Milinai,
Why don't you consider the "U" an initial, especially since many refer to Miami simply as "The U."

Because the average college fan may not know that. They would most likely know that was Miami's helmet by seeing it on TV.
My point about initials/letters on the helmets was that in many cases someone with zero knowledge of college football would know UCLA's and LSU's helmets because it's speeled right out, and those with little knowledge could at least narrow down his/hers guesses by looking at the initials/lettering. For example, someone who knows very little about football but has at least heard of the Nebraska Cornhuskers would be able to guess Nebraska's helment because of the "N". However, that same person, having also heard of Penn State before, may not be able to guess right on Penn State's helmet because there is no "P" or "PSU" to give him/her a hint.

Wyoming's colors are the color of dirt. Which is about all there is in that god-forsaken state. Incidentally, the license plates have the same logo. The horses name is Steamboat. |

the "N" stands for 'knowledge.'

Listen, I have lived in Wyoming for over 10 years. How the [censored] do you think I got my name. I lived in Cody the last 4 years before I moved to Montana. Right at the base of the Big Horns. 60 miles from Yellowstone. I have spent more time in the Rocky Mountains than I have anywhere else, save Alaska, and assuredly more than you or probably anyone else here. I know, first hand, what there is in Wyoming. With the exception of the EXTREME northwest potion of the state. The isn't [censored], but DIRT, in the entire state. Now, if you have been there on vacation, good for you, but I strongly doubt that you have anywhere near the idea of what is going on in Wyoming that I do. You may think that I have a stupid opinion, but at least I have a frame of reference. Or as it would seem, the only frame of reference that matters here.
