My thoughts exactly. I’m sure the Daily Kos is going to pick up the ball and run with it. A campaign of public condemnation of the school is sure to follow. They will be stripped of their victories and banned from bowl appearances until the end this despicable tradition. This is probably the school’s last Hobo Day.
I don’t see much difference between the ‘hobo’ dress and how students normally dress for cool weather. Flannel shirts and torn jeans are pretty much the style these days.
