I really only have ESPN on at work, and it's usually the 3pm ET shows till the end of Sportscenter in the early evening (and then whatever live sports that are good go on after that, usually Wisconsin ones). I'm really only starting to get deep into it.

Amherst is in the middle of deciding a new mascot, which naturally applies to their football team. The old one, Lord Jeffs, is out as the man it is named for thought giving smallpox-infected blankets to Native Americans was a cool idea. Possibly the most popular of the semifinalists? Hamsters. You see, it's an anagram of Amherst. And like most of the student body, it's a mammal. And they're male and female, also like most people associated with the college. (That's from the list of rationale behind the suggestions.)

I mean, having it go down as a forfeit is less embarassing, so if you want to think of it that way, go ahead.
