Hopefully other will dedicate their creative energies to submitting

Easterners!

In a field like systematics where correct id is important, it is critical
to know that Oklahoma State University is a Land Grant school in
Stillwater, and University of Oklahoma is a state general university in
Norman.  Both are great universities, but they are not even close to the
same thing (in focus or geography).  Kind of like not knowing the
difference between City University of New York and Cornell University of
New York.
