I corrected RushTheCourt earlier. They said that TJ contributed well off the bench and they abbreviated us as PU. They were pretty quick to respond and edit the post though, which was nice. Correcting the semi-experts, one at a time.

Well we WERE PU like 50 years ago... But it's good to let them know, I mean they don't like looking wrong either, and I'll take PU over being called Portland State any day of the week...

Haha I sent ESPN a nice little email today as well, I mean if there's anything that bothers me it's an incorrect metaphorical allusion, well that and turnovers... And bats... And well done steaks...

Funny you should say that, I felt the same way:

I appreciate the coverage of Portland basketball, we’ve got an exciting season brewing this year. I just wanted to point out that TJ Campbell has always started since he transferred to Portland last year. Also, University of Portland is abbreviated as “UP.”

Thanks again for the coverage and GO PILOTS!

P.S. We are NOT Portland State (PSU).

I figured I'd throw that in for the heck of it.
