Is there a curse on the Cal State schools that nobody in the media can
identify them right? I just heard one of the main doofs on
Colonial House

Yes, there is. I went to CSU Sacramento, myself. No one could ever get it right. The closest was usually "Sac State," a holdover from the old days when it was "Sacramento State College," but which we continued to use even after we got the "University" moniker.
I went to CSU Northridge [interglacial.com]. Thank you. Thank you. Hold your applause till the end.
I hear CSUN keeps wanting to fiddle with their name in the invitingly meaningless space between the "CSU" and the "Northridge". They normally alternate between "California State University Northridge" and "California State University, Northridge", but have been know to bi-curiously experiment with "California State University at Northridge" and even "The California State University at Northridge".
