This reminds me of when St. Cloud State did not allow the pep band to play the school rouser back in the mid 90s.  During the rouser there is a part where HUSKIES is spelled out.  You can guess what was spelled out as the U and K were not changed.  Naturally, the pep band was blamed for this as THEY ARE IN TOTAL CONTROL of the entire crowd at a college hockey game.  Unfortunately the pep band is no longer and the rouser isn't played at the games either.

Wood is highly ecological, since trees are a renewable resource.  And if you cut down that tree, yet another will grow; only this one will be a mutation with long, poisonous tentacles and revenge in its heart.

  What was offensive, and I agree with the Admin, was instead of cheering 
  "Rough 'em up" it became "<Biological Act> 'em up".  These are supposed to 
  be highly educated human beings.  Surely they can be more creative than 
  that.

  Joe Bertagna had a column on USCHO a few years ago about his experiences in 
  net for Harvard's JV vs. Penn.  His heckler was very creative and humorous 
  in his cheers, to the extent that Joe B shook his hand after the game.  We 
  need more of that.
