Okay, Laurie would not approve of this strip. As the game is just starting (I’m not allowed to watch it until she gets home), she’d say I’m tempting fate by pre-mocking the Hoosiers, but I feel it’s a pretty safe bet! I will have to do penance, of course, if I’m wrong… the Boilers last few games have been pretty lousy, and they have had a week off, but, nah… what’s the worst that could happen? They only will by 40 points?!?
They require mocking just for their name, I mean come on, they’re named after stockings for crying out loud.
As an Indiana boy, I must take umbrage at your remarks, but as a Boilermaker, yeah… It kind of translates into the Indiana University Residents of Indiana… they really need a proper mascot!
How about an anthropomorphic muskrat named Stankfoot that runs around hitting himself in the face with a sock full of nickels?
Be realistic… How is IU going to manage to scrape up an entire sock full nickels?!?
I kid, though I love Bloomington and am waiting for the moment these guys (http://facs.bio.indiana.edu/) need me to run their facility…
