UCM and Other Colleges With Bad Anagrams


UCM and Other Colleges With Bad Anagrams
by Klaus Varley

The UC Regents might have thought twice had they considered the anagram associated with the University of California at Merced. But it turns out, when we look at other schools in California, UCM is not alone in its anagram potential.

Behold! California Universities chosen off the top of my head, their corresponding anagrams, and a brief explanation.

UCB = CUB (Now I know why their mascot is a bear)

UCD = CUD (Cows chew it. -ed note: Thanks for reminding us, Carrie.)

UCSB = CUBS (Now I know why the mascot is...an Argentinian Cowboy?)

UCSD = SCUD (There's a huge military base in San Diego. Seriously.)

UCI = ICU (Emergency rooms are good for surfers and Dennis Rodman.)

SDSU = SUDS (While they build missles over at their big-sister school, the folks at SDSU are having a ball. I mean, bath.)

USC = SUC (Ks)

Ah, there are many more, but that will get you started. What anagrams can you come up with for colleges in your state?

Hey, SoCal, you missed an obvious one. UCD (Davis) = CUD. Like cows. Like Aggies. Get it?
