Except that some die-hard ignoramuses (ignoramusi?) who just can't get it through their pointy little heads that it's over.
As for the pro-Chief camp, Roger Huddleston said he was disappointed in the NCAA's decision, but he was optimistic.Doesn't our government have a few more pressing issues to deal with than an outmoded, pathetic, racist relic from a past that's better off buried?
"We have to see the board's response and we have yet to see what the legislation will do on a national basis. There are other things out there, other initiatives that are still viable," Huddleston said, referring to possible legislation that would call for denying the NCAA the right to impose sanctions against a university because of its team name, symbol or mascot.
And so it goes.

most of those ignoramuses can be found on another local conservative blog where they thump their chests and make neaderthal lamentations about the loss of their symbol.
I still never got it when a white guy would dress up and dance around like a native american and think he was being sensitive.
What gets me is the idea that the University is throwing good money after bad on this point. Retire it, move on, renovate Lincoln Hall!
Matt: You mean over at the unofficial nonstop Judy Meyers for something site?
Anony: They're still laboring under the delusion that the Cheef brings in big bucks. They also believe in the Easter Bunny.
Since the initial NCAA ruling about hostile mascots, has anyone been keeping track of the cost to UIUC to appeal?
I shudder to think what it would cost if UIUC goes to court.
And have there ever been estimates of what it will cost to replace el Jeffe?
any good news on job front yet?
