Steve Prefontaine vs Beaver Believers

Stanford could be Yellow River immigrants. But the Trump might nix it.

FWIW, Utah did they right thing and got the Ute tribe to be part of the school heritage. Ute Tribal Chief comes in and talks to students and the players, coaches participate in charity events, etc. No indiab mascots or figures. If they changed the name, the Ute Tribe might object - they now see the school as part of their identity.

I don't know what you do with redskins or Indians, other than change the name.. But individual tribes or types of people (e.g, the Irish), if handled correctly can work.

As for USC: always "The Cheaters."

[All is not peaches and cream but functional for the time being. Nothing wrong with what you posit, but understand too, when dealing with tribes there are usually at least two factions at play. Since 1972 Utah enters into a MOU with the Tribe's business committee (as opposed to the traditionalists of the Tribe) which sets forth the terms to use the Utes' name. The MOU imposes support for both Tribal college students and the Tribe's K-12 educational system. The new development is that the University has agreed to start this year to formally educate all freshman about the Tribe. The current MOU is good for 5 years per traditionists demands. This MOU is also sanctioned by the NCAA.]

A lot of you are too young to know that back when the Stanfurd student body voted on a new name back in 1980, among their choices were the still appropriate Robber Barons and Steaming Manholes. I was always partial to the Robber Barons #StealinLandford

Robber Barons is appropriate for them but I associated Steaming Manholes with Berkeley's campus. Do they have them there, too? I try not to spend time there.

If Notre Dame can be the fighting Irish, why can't Furd be the 'John Chinamans'

"Who else but Americans could drill 10 tunnels in mountains 30 feet deep in snow?" asked John Volpe, then-President Nixon's secretary of transportation, in his keynote address. "Who else but Americans could have laid ten miles of track in 12 hours?"


It was actually thousands of Chinese railroad workers, along with eight Irish rail handlers, who completed that remarkable feat, a product of a bet that Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) Company made with the competing Union Pacific Railroad Company, whose record time for one day was 7.5 miles of track.

The spectacular amount of financing and labor required meant that the completion of the railroad was remarkable by many metrics. The completion of the "Iron Horse," as it was known, became shrouded in the romanticized mythology and folklore of Western expansion.
Several figures have survived this history, one of whom is Leland Stanford the railroad tycoon president of Central Pacific who would come to be remembered fondly, along with his wife Jane, as the University's founding family. The names of several of the Irish rail handlers would also be passed down through time.


But, all of the thousands of Chinese workers would be together remembered simply as "John Chinaman."

ND? What they have is arrogance and a failure to communicate ... aka holy tschtt.

Yes they do. Apparently they're even more prominent.
