[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1326738, member: 619279"] That's... not a good analogy. It would be like if I won a state championship for Pekin High School back in the 70s and my kids won a state championship for Pekin High School in the 00s. Does theirs mean less because they're the Dragons now? No. Does mine mean less because they changed the mascot name? No. And even that's not a great analogy for U of I's situation, because I would be shocked if we actually changed the name Fighting Illini. All I'm saying is that if the Illini were winning football and basketball games, I highly doubt anyone would care if we got rid of the war chant, and I'm sure the vast majority of fans wouldn't care if we were called the Prairie Dogs or something dumb if it was preceded by "The 2018 National Champion..."
