If the nickname ends up being anything other than a NOUN, I will be mad.  And if it's a WEATHER PHENOMENON, I will have hard time following the teams.  And if it a WEATHER PHENOMENON first suggested by a prominent anti-Sioux activist, that will be the end for me.

yeah I don't want any suggestion from an anti-nicknamer based on spite and principle alone

Nice having Matt Bakke represent football. An aspiring politician who never played representing 100+ years of tradition. Couldn't find ANYBODY else in the GF area?

I did not recognize any lawyers on the panel. But there is a college student that works at Denny's. So there's that I guess

Apparently they tried as hard as they could to get a diverse cross-section.  Would love to hear the stupid ass comments that come out of some of their mouths.

I can't say I'm surprised.  Committees created by politicians and educators only care how the committee looks, rather than what it might accomplish.  This is just typical higher ed mush.

... the group will participate in a facilitated process designed to map out ... 

 

Good Lord. What a bunch of mealy-mouthed new-speak. It's a committee to gather data and make a recommendation. 

 

Confucius where are you and your "rectification of names" when we need you? 

 

This essentially means for every action, there is a word that describes that action. The belief is that by following the Rectification of Names, one would be following the correct/right path. The rectification of names also calls for a standard language in which ancient rulers could impose laws that everyone could understand to avoid confusion. Without the rectification of names, different words would have different actions.

 

A dog is a dog, it is not a four-legged canine companion with a variable level of insect infestation.
