Interesting fact about Sam Houston State. In the early 1900's it was known as Sam Houston Institute of Teaching. The powers that be reportedly decided to change the name of the school after some freshmen started wearing sweatshirts emblazened with the schools initials around campus.

Not only is this a bad place to post that, but it's not true.
