Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 51927, member: 628"] It was probably a bad idea to do it, since (1) you just know that people are going to complain, and (2) it's not really all that clever or funny, and thus not really worth the aggravation. So theoretically I'm sympathetic to the WVU folks... but... like others have said... their mascot is a backwoods mountain man wearing a coonskin cap! Short of using Cleetus the Slack-Jawed Yokel as a mascot, aren't they kind of inviting this kind of fun-poking from opponents? And piling on to Mark's academy stuff, the stereotypical, institutionally-sanctioned insults thrown back and forth between rivals like Texas and Texas A&M make our Orange playing a cardboard banjo look like a Sesame Street sketch.
