mega-slow elevator?!?  not that Tully Forum needs one, but to have one at
all is a luxury IMO.  It would be a treat to have a PA system that doesn't
make the announcer sound like Charlie Brown's teacher!!

First, you have to get over the fact that they changed the name for
politically-correct reasons only.  "Chiefs" disrespectful & insensitive to
native Americans?  Not IMO.  "Redskins" (a.k.a. Washington fball)?  Yes.
 
Once you've gotten past the "PC-syndrome" stage, one has to temporarily
separate one's personal identify from that of the school, so as not to
feel such a drastic change in oneself.  One has to remember that it's not
what's on the outside of the uniform that counts, it's what's on the
inside.
 
The barfing may commence...
