bison73 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 If they are going to retire the mascot why are they forming a task force? Was your president consulted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't count them as being Aztecs. I don't think many others would either. Using that logic, some Greeks could claim they are Spartans. Simply descendents of a group that lived long ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the next social evil eradication project, once all of the titans of entertainment, politics, and industry are toppled. There were those who thought those boys' clubs would go on forever, I am sure, but look what has happened in the last few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are bringing in enough $$$, a white guy can wear fake native American garb and make up , and thrust a spear in the ground on a horse while the fans chant a racist as hell war chant and thrusting arms in "tomahawk" unison. Boy, I'm glad we quit doing that. Oh, wait....WE NEVER DID!!! OK. I swear I'm over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 When will U of Idaho face the NCAA music? Vandal: a member of a Germanic people that ravaged Gaul, Spain, and North Africa in the 4th–5th centuries and sacked Rome in AD 455. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
