Pick an Illinois Mascot

The University of Illinois has formed a committee charged with the virtually impossible task of selecting a new school mascot.

It's not going to be an Indian.

Political correctness killed Chief Illiniwek.

He is gone.  Forever.

The loud voices of the minority -- and their threats of lawsuits -- won the battle.

Whiners.


So....... they are going to have to look at something else.

Since it's not gonna be The Chief, what figure/creature would you want to see patrolling the sidelines and mingling with the crowd?

Some possible ideas.......
- a walking "I"
- mascot shaped like the state of Illinois
- an animal of some shape or variety
- some generic-looking vicious bird
- Abe Lincoln
- nothing

I'd vote for the "nothing" option.

LONG LIVE THE CHIEF!

Out for now.......
