The other day, we brought you a clip of Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs on Sunday Night Football introducing himself as "Sizzle" and giving a shout-out to his alma mater, Ball So Hard University. Of course, there isn't an actual BSHU—the term comes from Kanye West and Jay-Z's "N****s In Paris"—so Sizzle's been getting asked about it all week. Recently, he talked to the Baltimore Sun and cleared up exactly what he meant when he mentioned  Ball So Hard.

"A lot of guys on this team attended Ball So Hard University, including myself," he said. "The dean of students and president of the school is actually Shawn Carter...It's a song. It's an actual song by Jay-Z, and I thought people would actually [have] thought the song was hotter, but as soon as I said it, it started [getting] crazy."

Well, Terrell, if you haven't been to a show on the Watch The Throne tour yet, the song is crazy and gets one hell of a reaction. But we're pretty sure that not everyone who was watching the game Sunday night knew that, thus the confusion. So, thanks for clearing it up.
