2021-2022 Games of Interest

[1972Shocker]

Every time I here Valpo I immediately think:

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

It really wasn't that it "wasn't inclusive enough." It was that white nationalist hate groups including the Klu Klux Klan overtly use crusader-related symbology and language and are, thanks to Trump, much more in the public consciousness than they were 10-15 years ago. Plus, for any university with an international student base, harkening back to The Crusades is not the best look.

“Valpo is and always has been a faith-based institution, and we want to make sure our symbolism is in alignment with our beliefs and speaks to the core values of the Lutheran ethos,” said Interim President Colette Irwin-Knott. “At Valpo, we strive to seek truth, serve generously and cultivate hope. We do not believe having the Crusader as our mascot portrays these values.”

That said, Beacons is a pretty blah name. The only upside is that it makes me think of Castle Anthrax.

Oh my. Big time swing and a miss there. Do Europeans really still get triggered by the Crusades? I mean is that like really a thing? We are now having to go back to medieval times to find things to be woke about?

Weren't Salukis originally bred in Egypt? You might want to let the SIU administration that you find their mascot offensive.

Also, the SIU student newspaper is the Daily Egyptian.

The southern Illinois area is called "Little Egypt" I don't know why. But it is kinda cool that their mascot fits their geography as does ours.

You can't make it up...but I am proud to be an alumni.

Heard they were required to make the change after multiple pregnancies following the first football game. Student section was enthusiastically rooting the Falcons on, and…you know, in those days, students did as they were told.

South Carolina State hits a 3 at the buzzer to beat South Florida. Thankfully we only have to play South Florida once this year.

[WuDrWu]

Borderline blind twisting deep corner 3, a no other option shot, nothin’ but nylon.

[ShockTalk]

Wow. Houston is taking no prisoners playing Bryant. With around 3:30 to go in the game it's 100-37 with Bryant having only 16 in the 2nd half so far.

[WstateU]

King Tut…classic!
