Overzealous Athletics
Speaking of overzealous, and no I don't mean Rick Santorum,
Did you catch the note about the NCAA banning the use of Native American mascots in the tournaments they control at the end of the season? This means the Seminoles, for instance, will have to find new logos on their helmet for the ACC tournament and bowl game. This is like gun registration-- it's simply a prelude to taking the mascots away permanently. There have been a lot of grumblings over the years, notably from people at the University of Illinois with a completely overblown sense of importance that can only be called "overzealous."
It is sad that the NCAA would get involved with this, not letting schools be, as there are plenty of odd mascots for other peoples too-- umm Cowboys?
What's next, the NHL opening and having a successful season? Where will the insanity end?

and why the flip can't anonymous people post comments? shouting them down is half the fun right there.

ok, i changed it so anyone can post...furthermore tell me your preferences as to whether the comments should be in a pop up window rather than in a new full size one.
