Why the fuck does everyone feel the need to say CU "Boulder?"

I'm sure I'm gonna have some CU kids throw monkey shit at me for this, but this has been a pet peeve of mine for a while now. I'm from Colorado, have a lot of friends/know a lot of people that went to CU, and for some reason 90+% of them feel the need to specify they went to "CU BOULDER" instead of just saying they went to CU. If someone says "UNC Chapel Hill" or "UT Austin" I totally get it, but CU is not a target/prestigious university by any stretch of the imagination. I'd also get it if there was another large CU school and they needed to specify their institution (ie University of Southern California/South Carolina), but this isn't the case either.

Pretty clear it's said it in an effort to flex...It ain't a flex, dawg.
