that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I still think it is to be pc

 

You can set picks up to 5 minutes before kickoff. So if you forget the early games you can still make picks for the later games

 

10 days...

 

There aren't many people offended by the word Rebel. It's the old south, slavery, confederate army image that's offensive to people.

My high school's colors and mascot are very much like Ole Miss. They've talked for a while about changing the mascot away from the Colonel Reb looking guy, but they haven't yet. I think they should.

If it were to happen, they would still keep the name Rebels.

 

I actually enjoy seeing Herbstreit and Corso on set. Pollack, Holtz, and Mark May are annoying to me.

It's a popular opinion, at least among commentators, that Miller was one of the best pure athletes in the nation last year and the best runner in the Big 10. It would be interesting to watch him at running back.

Doubtful. Don't they have to go through Oregon and Stanford. Arizona State looks pretty good too.

 

why do you think they should change mascots?

 

its a cave

 

Well, this is interesting. Harvey Updyke is letting Auburn fans dunk him in a dunk tank or hit him in the face with a pie for charity.

 

Talk about a pie with an anvil in it..

 

I'm generally not a guy who thinks everything needs to be politically correct, but I think the mascot Ole Miss used and my HS still uses is legitimately offensive to enough people that I'd like to see it go. Slavery was a truly terrible thing, and any throwback to a time when it was a way of life no longer has a place in society.

For those who in the "history not hate" line of thinking, there's still the school's nickname to tie the university to the institution of slavery.

 

Amari Cooper days!

 

Speakings of mascots....and I know I know google is my friend but......For Bama...what's with a crimson tide and an elephant?

I'll google it real quick too but wanted your take on it.

 

What are the cheerleaders doing in that water, and can I go to there???

 

I believe the elephant has been the mascot for forever. Depending on who you ask, the Crimson Tide came from one of two places. First, Alabama was commonly referred to as the Crimson. Once, after a tie, a front page headline read, "Crimson Tied," and it evolved from that. The other story is that during a radio broadcast, an announcer described the kickoff as a "Crimson Tide rolling down the field."

 

Got ya!!! Makes sense. I always wondered but never looked it up. It's crazy sometimes the backstory to shit like that.

 

It was a good day

Polar plunge at the mall here. Oh the bewbs!!!!
