Why is the university of Kansas KU? And why is university of Oklahoma OU? That’s completely wrong and yet that’s what people call them

The same reason SU is the University of Syracuse. Because people are nimrods.

Who wants it more or you got to want it, drives me nuts.

An old forum I posted on invented the highly analytical terms WIM (wanting it more) and WIL (wanting it less).

Kobe had very high WIM.

The Chargers organization has high WIL.

Please tell me how someone leaves their feet. You leave the floor but not your feet.

If someone left their feet that would be a helluva a feat.
