College Mascots

"NCAA upholds Fighting Sioux as abusive nickname" (North Dakota) - As seen in todays USA Today Apparently appeals we're granted to Florida State, Utah & Central Michigan. PETA has now asked that the Unirsity of South Carolina "Game Cocks" change their name as it promotes animal cruelty. Notre Dame Fighting Irish however got a pass....... What's next.........PC taken to far here?

    Sorry, but I'm stuck back on the Slugs. Now I wish that I had made my university choice based solely on its mascot. They have slug apparel - hats, shirts, even slippers. Go to http://slugstore.ucsc.edu/, click on "Apparel". I have a friend whose high school teams were the "Kewpies". As in Kewpie Dolls. I cracked up when he told me that and he gave me an odd look, like it had never occurred to him that it was a strange mascot.
