hail to thee, my alma mater

i'm a jayhawk.



my wife's a terrier.


obviously, ku is the finest university in all the land. bu's pretty good too.

but both of our beloved schools have been in the headlines lately, and not for good reasons. i'll let you decide which is worst.

at bu, "under a new campus policy, anyone caught swearing or taunting the opposing players with racist or sexist chants during games face ejection, and repeated offenders could even be banned." according to the dean, "we wanted to make clear that games should be spirited and lively, but standing and shouting obscenities does not have a place. i don't equate school spirit with the yelling of obscenities." that's a shame, cuz i do. fuck mu!

at ku, on the other hand, a freshman made history - becoming the first male on the rock chalk dance team. regarding his gender difference, the freshman states “ i had to keep true to myself and keep doing what i love to do. i never felt restrictions because i'm a very strong-willed person.” he understands that people may be hesitant, but confidently proclaims "i know how to perform, i know how to get the crowd going.” wow. if i said what i'm thinking, i'd be thrown right off of bu campus!

doesn't it make you wish you had tried out all those years ago for the bvnw dazzlers? people would've paid good money for that.
