ScottM Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 The college is not under NCAA jurisdiction, but school administrators decided to drop the name in case the issue is ever addressed in junior college athletics. Or just in case they never find their balls again. Quote
dakotadan Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Fox News Article - scroll down to bottom bullet A mascot committee will meet Thursday to review the suggestions. Some early entries include Cardinals, River Hawks, The Fire, Falcons, River Bandits, Mavericks and Rebels. So they want to change their Hostile and Abusive name to another just as much or possibly even more Hostile and Abusive name?!?! Quote
KnowtheFacts Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Or just in case they never find their balls again. It takes more balls to admit you were wrong, than it does to just keep on what you're doing. Just look at George W. and his war. Quote

Sioux-cia Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Everywhere I go, George W. seeps in somewhere. GW is not part of this discussion. And IMHO does not belong anywhere in the SiouxSports.com forum. Invoking his name causes members to go off on tangents that have nothing to do with the topics being discussed (to date). Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 2, 2006 Author Posted February 2, 2006 I thought of "hostile and abusive" when I saw the name "Rebels" as a choice. Yea, that doesn't offend anybody, does it? The first thing most people (well, at least some of those with a knowledge of US history) think of when they hear the word 'rebel' is the Civil War. Quote

Looking at Muscatine's reasoning, e.g., fear of possible NC$$ sanctions similar to what Myles Brand and his band of hypersensitive misfits are struggling to articulate with a straight face to the nation, UND, Illinois, etc., I see nothing to support your erroneous premise that the Muscatine wimps thought/felt they were "wrong". Try again. Quote
