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.)

But as it's not an ear or banner, doesn't include any graphics, isn't color and definitely isn't on the front page of sports they didn't pay much. (Print ads are especially cheap if it's the advertising rep soliciting the business. Walk-ins don't get deals unless they're regulars or extra spectacular.) Years ago, the weekly local paper had a similar ad protesting the firing of the head high school football coach.

KKKLIP ART posted:UGA DT Trent Thompson has officially withdrawn from classes this semester (forever?) after having a severe medical issue. He was found wandering the street and incoherent. He tested negative for the usual suspects of drugs and alcohol, so who knows whats going on. Wish him the best for wherever he ends up, if he ends up anywhere UGA is calling the incident an adverse reaction to medications. He's apparently been hospitalized fairly recently for whatever the medical issue is. Oddly, Thompson apparently told police he had taken OxyContin, though toxicology for that came up negative.

Atlanta did have an actual Klan university: Lanier University. The Klan couldn't afford to run it and it folded after a year. Appropriately, the building later became a synagogue.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:When was the last SEC stadium to get a name change before this? Adding to one of the hyphenated ones? Razorback Stadium became Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in 2001. Scott Field got Davis Wade's name added in either 2000 or 2001. Before those two it looks like it was Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in 1989. Georgia possibly considered hyphenating Sanford Stadium to include Wally Butts.

MourningView posted:lol writing a literal book about your rival school cheating is the saddest thing Somewhere, I still have a anonymously-sent package that went out to all the area newspapers. A private investigator (a laughably bad one, but a private investigator) was hired to look into recruiting at another school. Another high school.
