More PCness in sports - Syracuse U changes teams' nickname
Syracuse University announced yesterday their teams will no longer be known as the Orangemen and Orangewomen. From now on all of SU's teams, male and female, will be known simply as the Syracuse Orange. Bad idea, I think. Thoughts?
I'm not a sports fan but it "The Orange" sure sounds catchy. I like it. Orangemen and Orangewoman? Pretty exhausting and sounds like a vocal group my grandpa likes.
I personally suggest the Syracuse Crack-Whores and the Syracuse Homosexual-German-Cannibal-Chefs, but appearantly just "Orange" is good enough for some people.
"Did you know that more people are murdered at 92 degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once. Lower temperatures, people are easy-going, over 92 and it's too hot to move, but just 92, people get irritable."
We alumni of UCSC are at least proud to be the "Fighting Banana Slugs".
Similarly humorous, one of the local JC's (Scottsdale Community College) mascot is the artichoke .
"Our mascot was born in 1972 as a result of a philosophical difference between students and school administrators. Student government ran an election to name a mascot, and in protest, surprised and shocked the administration by declaring the "artichoke" as the mascot."
"The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hog's head, and that's the way I like it!" -Grandpa Simpson
