Re: Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles

I was told that our "Screaming Eagles" was named after the 101st Airborne Division in ft Campbell. I guess somebody had some connections down there when they were debating on a mascot. Anybody actually know the background story here?

That is cool

There is a difference between expressing frustration or criticism and unsubstantiated personal insults. There is also a difference between well articulated critical comments and endlessly repeated personal attacks.

Also the namecalling. Even if you don't like a coach or president, there is no reason to make up a new stupid name for them to mock them year after year. They are still humans and deserve SOME respect.

I'd say any of "Screaming Eagles" (official name), "Eagles" (casual name), USI (commonly abbreviated university name) are fine for a professional article. #screagles works well for social media where abbreviations are common for preserving character count. It's unique and was voted on by the students as an official hashtag. I just never say it out loud.

You can bet most of us will be expressing frustration. But please, be an adult, not an echo chamber.

Re: Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles

Thank you for starting the new thread and, hopefully, we can discuss USI basketball and it's return to what Coach Pearl started in the mid-nineties. Whatever happens in leadership both with the athletic department (I expect no change) and the men's basketball team (I expect change) it will be refreshing to talk about the sport(s) and do away with the immature bickering. I personally want to wish both teams the best of luck and look forward to witnessing the resurgence of Screaming Eagle dominance!
