Does the "at" make a difference?

Thankfully, the Trojans no longer have an "at" in the team name, but we labored under that burden for many years. So, I have long had a soft spot in my heart for those other "at" schools there who are in similar circumstances. For example, when UMBC made history as the first 16 seed to win, it was doubly enjoyable because of their unwieldy acronym. Go "at" schools!
