Message: [QUOTE="Dick_in_MI, post: 51506, member: 225"] I'm not one for putting people down for their socio-economic status. Nor do I generally get involved in the "my school is smarter than your school" thing (despite a joke I made here about a week ago about the WVU alumni association). Truthfully, when we're talking about football, both schools have players that couldn't enroll had their admission been based solely upon academics. We can point to the Maxwell School all we want but I doubt many of it's students are playing football or basketball. All that aside, I actually have no problem with dueling banjos as a rivalry joke. WVU perpetuates the stereotype of mountain men via its mascot, which I think is probably worse than using regional music as a gag. I think the WVU fans need to dust themselves off from their butt kicking and find a real issue to be sensitive about. [/QUOTE]
