Call me a Missouri Stae grad, but I'm not getting it.

The rest of my previous post was going to say that 101 in Roman Numerals is CI and 2006 is MMVI.

After this post, the prize is whoever gets the right answer owes ME a six pack of Pabst.

[101 in Roman Numerals] + [actress Greta's last name] + [abbr. for Youngstown State University] + [Professor's monogram]

Now eliminate the spaces as you would in a web address...

I would just like to point out that you used big distraction here. You made it seem like your joke was related to the Redbirds site.

Not cool, Swella.

I didn't consider that context might throw people off. Good point. I also forgot the phenomenon that riddles always look easy after you know the answer. So my apologies.

My inspiration was the fact that "goredbirds" could be read in two ways depending on where you put the space. It wasn't Illinois State specific; any web address combining words ambiguously would have done.
Here are some other examples of ambiguous web addresses that would have served equally well as inspiration: http://www.thelogofactory.com/logo_blog ... web-names/ (Pen Island or Penis Land?)

In light of your well-founded grievance, I'll waive my Pabst claim...

It was still clever.

I tell you what, some time this season, I'll buy you a Pabst.
