Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
To burst the bubble a bit, the word is someone stepped on her tail and she made that reaction, she never actually went through and bit the girl.

Besides, if she actually bit her there'd be news about it, that pic is a couple days old.

Ron Zook was decent at Illinois when he had some talented players like Juice Williams and Arrelious Benn.

He had one "good" year where they weren't even that good but made a Rose Bowl because it was an insane year and the Rose Bowl wanted a Big Ten/PAC 10 matchup. Otherwise he sucked and by the end he had some of the worst recruiting classes in the conference so he wasn't even good at that anymore

It's probably a good lesson that we shouldn't make too much of any one game. Outside of that one NC St has been good in pretty much exactly the way people expected them to be good before the season

I totally agree, just kind of some weird voodoo that's repeated twice. I love a good cursed trend as long as it ain't my team.

Skimming wikipedia entries, it seems like a mistake for Illinois to fire Zook. Starting 6-0 and finishing 6-6 is embarrassing but mostly a fluke of the schedule. Consecutive bowls seems pretty good for the Illini.

I know y'all's default is to assume fans of bad teams should never be unhappy with anything but 3 bowls in 8 years with a conference winning percentage of like .300 is really bad even at Illinois and it was about to get way worse. His recruiting completley collapsed at the very end. That they managed to make a worse hire in Beckman doesn't retroactively make Zook good. On balance he wasn't even as good as Ron Turner

If they drop "Rebels" will people give them a pass on the "Ole Miss" moniker? That seems like a reasonable compromise.

Mississippi State fans, always.

Ole Miss was apparently what slaves would call the plantation owner's wife, which is why that's a thing. It appears to be an actual purposeful reference from some stuff I've read, so that + everything else harkening back to the civil war about Mississippi I guess I don't blame people for disliking it.

Other than Mississippi State fans, who I'll just laugh at.

This would not be surprising in the slightest given the school but it's definitely not a thing I've seen people in the larger college football media world make a big deal out of.

That General Dog thinks they should be entitled to keep at least one slavery reference is also not surprising.

To be fair, the reference is opaque and obscure enough that neither you nor 99% of anybody else knew anything about it.

Granted I'm less than progressive on a lot of stuff, but in this case I think there's a pretty strong case for it being pretty harmless. The meanings of words and phrases change, and when a phrase that was only tangentially attached to slavery to begin with reaches a point where virtually everyone save a few historians just think "the University of Mississippi" when they hear it, it's probably okay.

It's really cool (read: not cool) that even in these days of ultra-woke campus culture, Fraternities and Sororities, which- among their many other faults- are the purest embodiments of white privilege on earth, still exist basically unchalleged and unexamined.
