I wrote a letter to the NCAA Executive Committee congratulating them on their initiative in discouraging schools from honoring such traits as integrity, bravery and honor in chossing injun nicknames. We do not need THOSE traits honored, I opined.

Some flunkie wrote me back, thanking me for my support. You would think someone associated with higher education would have a better understanding of, and appreciation for, satire and irony.

So I wrote back, and suggested that Florida State University, instead of calling themselves the Seminoles, should name themselves after a group that NOONE could admire. My suggestion: The Florida State University NCAA Executive Committees. Instead of the tomahawk chop, they could all lie supinely on their backs. Their hard core fans could simply have their spines removed.

I haven't heard back yet.

If all of the major colleges decided to dump the NCAA, and played in their own bowls, would they miss a beat?

This is really the tail wagging the dog.

If the NCAA disappeared, other than idiotic rulings like this, would anyone notice?

...should name themselves after a group that NOONE could admire. My suggestion: The Florida State University NCAA Executive Committees....

My Husband is all about SEC college football, especially anything about THE University of Alabama (Roll TIDE!). Gonna share this with him cause he's been keeping up with this and joking that PETA will jump on the bandwagon with something about 'red tides' (Alabama is Crimson Tide).

This weekend we are moving our oldest daughter to The University where she'll beginning studying Mechanical Engineering. Her bestfriend is a Barner! lol
