Hopefully they don't get all-PC on the Indians, Braves, or Redskins. I experienced a huge :rolleyes: when Washington changed from the Bullets to Wizards.

Some schools and or teams got a :rolleyes: waiver because that tribe supports them ,
I think FSU Seminoles are one of those teams , and therefore can use the Tomahawk chop .

They got a :rolleyes: waiver because they are FSU. The Fighting Illini had an endorsement from the tribe and the :rolleyes: hammer dropped anyway.

rolov Thanks again for the drink coupons. I put them to good use with the screaming kid next to me for 16 hours. :eek:

Pro sports have nothing at all to do with the NCAA.

Absolutely. My "they" comment was a generic "they," not directed at the NCAA.

Phew. For a minute I thought you totally Birded the issue at hand, and I didn't think that Birding was your style.

If he had bought the kid a drink, there would have been no screaming. :D ^

Texas has the coolest mascot ever. Who could want more than the noble cow? Also, how one correlates Lassie with Aggie is beyond me, but I'm sure they have their reasons. Further, Sooner?! Lame.

What? The Banana Slugs get no respect?

If that's unacceptable, then what's Syracuse to do? We have a fake-baked ping-pong ball as our mascot. At least he's a palendrome. :rolleyes:TT:rolleyes:

There is an orange tree on the Syracuse campus. That only produces green oranges.

And for the Upstater's that frequent the Box (Timmy Ho's!), Syracuse used to be represented by the "Saltine Warrior." Apparently this was offensive, not only to the :rolleyes:n:rolleyes:nd:rolleyes:ga Nation, but also the Keebler elve contingency.

There was some debate when I was in attendance about changing the mascot to something a little more .... uhm .... mascot-esque. I, personally, was lobbying for Mr. Plow.

A good deep tissue massage will make me drool while still awake. Happened to me onboard Crown Princess, Nov. of 2006. I was so relaxed/beaten up/out of it thanks to my dark-haired version of Charlize Theron that two therapists had to walk me out of the massage and escort me to the next spa appointment. Those who know me know that I'm not a small guy, and I can only imagine what other people in the spa thought had been done to me to have two of the spa girls holding me up and walking me to the hair area.
