I wonder if they will change it to U of Utah- St George? Then they could become the Dragons.

Why would a team from Cleveland name themselves after the people of a country in Asia that they have no connection too? Even more bizarre was the hammed up Native American mascot they gave them. I never understood it.
Kinda be like if I started a hockey team called the "Colorado Russians" but gave them a cartoonish, stereotyped Japanese mascot. I wouldn't make much money doing that - it doesn't make any sense.
But I'm with you. It says more about the willingness to adapt and change than stubbornly holding on to the past. [/QUOTE]
I'm wondering how long it will take before the state of Indiana will have to change its name

And a lot of counties out there? In Washington we have several named after the tribes that lived on the lands.

We'll survive either way. It's just a team name, afterall. Folks will forget about it quickly. It happens every time.

I'm just hoping people don't realize that SMSU has changed names at least twice in the last 40 years. Given how upset people get about this kind of stuff, I'd really hate for it to affect us.

Moravian College to become Moravian University.

Hey, at least the anti-name changing crowd now has something fresh to be upset about - maybe they'll forget about Cleveland! :D

There won't be an Old Oaken Bucket game for Purdue and Indiana, breaking a one hundred year streak.
