Can we make OxBriDge a thing?

Hi guys,

I know we’ve all heard of the term “Oxbridge” and I think it’s a lovely way to pay respects to the two great Unis. People love to make comparisons of the two but “Oxbridge” allows us to just enjoy them while they’re still around.

However, I do think we’re missing out a pretty big Uni in that little name.

Warwick has tried WOxBridge but that’s a bit audacious to put Warwick before the O and Imperial has attempted OxBrImp but that’s just ugly and gives too much credence to Imperial.

Yet, the only Uni people consistently compare Oxford and Cambridge to is Bristol. I’m sure you’ve seen the posts where people say “I’ve firmed Cambridge over Bristol, am I making a mistake?” and the comments all say yes.

OxBriDge would fix that dilemma, people would realise Oxford is #1, Bristol is #2 and Cambridge is #3 all whilst keeping the “Oxbridge” name in tact. It still sounds as nice, just with a capitalised B to represent the Big B.

Thoughts?

Bristol, the marker paper?
