[Shotimes] Re: OT, best PC team name correction of 2004

That's good stuff Don! 

Oh, don't let my wife see this thread.  She's still fuming over her
college, the Miami University (Ohio) Redskins changing their name to
the Redhawks.

It did make all her old Redskins stuff more valuable, not that she'd ever sell.

I'm sure PETA will at some point get angry and focus much attention
toward my school (University of Cincinnati) over their misuse and
slander of a beloved Bearcat ;^)
