[QUOTE="Rob07, post: 1325985, member: 57270"] Keep the name "Fighting Illini" since it's a reference to veterans, keep Oskee Wow Wow ([URL="http://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/letters-editor/2015-08-11/oskee-wow-wow-predates-chief.html"]there's no Native American tie[/URL]), and keep Hail to the Orange. I don't care if we drop everything else, none of the rest gets people hype anyway. It would be better to make a clean break than to keep dragging out the debate. The folks decrying this decision due to political correctness seem just as fragile to me as the "snowflakes". [/QUOTE]
