The sign for the place is msufcu.
I doubt I am the only person whose brain sees this as "msu fuck you." I laugh every time I drive by, and am surprised the company didn't choose something else.

(1,009 posts)that "FAT" was offensive. Fortunately cooler heads prevailed, and "FAT" which stands for Fresno Air Terminal are still the call letters today.
