You are A: Talking to a deleted post. and B: Not talking about the same FSU. You must be talking about Florida State University or something. Thats fine. There's a horrible street gang that went mainstream with the lame fratboys in Boston called FSU (Fucking Shit Up). They were muscle bound asshole hardcore guys that would beat people they didn't like nearly to death in some circumstances. Super lame Boston hardcore kids still claim the gang, like its cool. Obviously a misunderstanding. And, I'll take a rum and coke, thanks.
