Well ESPN made a mistakes which seem to upset the folks up in San Luis Obispo. In the Division I softball rankings they accidently put Cal Poly Pomona instead of Cal Poly. If you guys do not know the school in San Luis Obisbo called themselves just Cal Poly instead of adding the SLO. In one of the website he talks about the issue and some of the comments by the fan made me laugh. there is two blogs about the isssue on back to back day(link at top). I guess the people up in SLO must not like the people in Pomona. I said let have a battle of the Cal Poly's for the fun of it.

My take what wrong with the people up in SLO. You guys are the first Cal Poly but you guys are not the only one. Use Cal Ploy SLO instead of Cal Poly for athlethics. No matter what both school will be called Cal Poly for short just add the SLO to the end for nobody get confused which school are they talking about. It will never be like Cal (aka Berkely) and UCLA. Only if Cal Poly Pomona decide to use the name Pomona polythentic state university to identify themselves. Then maybe you can use Cal Poly by itself. What will happen when that day comes which look like decades away when Pomona moves up to Division I how much more confusion that will cause for the media.
