Slightly diversionary... somewhat amusing... and you can't make this stuff up...

I don't know if any of you read the "Tuesday Morning Quarterback" blog that ESPN posts on their website. (See http://espn.go.com/espn/playbook/story/_/id/8392213/only-week-2-boo-birds-were-force-super-bowl-teams-greg-schiano)

But I had to chuckle at this little ditty, about 3/4 of the way down ("Low Graduation Rates? Fine with the NCAA. Two Feathers? OMG!")

The NCAA has ordered the University of North Dakota to drop their nickname, the Fighting Sioux.

Mr. Schiano proposes that their new nickname should be: The Fighting Sue. "perhaps with Johnny Cash theme music." And their new helmet logo? A drawing of Johnny Cash, of course. (See illustration courtesy of ESPN's Kurt Snibbe)

GO COCKS!

And to think, our AD banned the marching band from leading the crowd in yelling "Stick It In" whenever the ball was inside 20 yards... :snicker:

Just wait until they snap it deep to their tight end and take it all the way in for the big finish.


GO COCKS!

You guys all have your minds in the gutter, or lower, you know that?

So, if you tackle their quarterback behind the line of scrimmage, does that make you a Cock sacker?

And it's a good thing that I know better than to be sipping coffee while reading these kinds of threads...

When I was in college, back in the dark ages of thermionic valves... each of the dorm buildings was divided into "houses" (usually 2 floors together). Naturally, there were intramural athletics (football, basketball, etc.) using teams made up of students from each "house."

One such squad was located in the North Halls dorm complex. I believe that they were "Adams House" at the time. But there was another "house" with a similar name (happened all the time... there were at least four "Kissamee" houses, for example -- 2 girls-only dorms, one co-ed, one guys only, go figure)

Their team was called North Adams Dorm Students. Quite a, er, mouthful. So they went by their initials. NADS.

Can you imagine what the cheers where?

The games must be challenging to be the announcer-in-the-booth for. Having to routinely say such gems as...

"Cocks have the ball"
"Hes a good, young tight end for the Cocks"
"The Cocks go deep!"
etc....

I would imagine there are a few moments of self thought like "Come on, hold it together, i'm a professional here...you can do it, you're a grown man, not a third grader...one more quarter to go..."
