Hey, do you know the name of any Baptist or Church of Christ ministers there in Lubbock who might not have realized the purpose behind this change? I'd love to see some good old fashioned picketing along University!

Hey, PA, would you like to call a local radio talkshow and mention that? They'd be FLATTERED to hear from afar......(806)770-5950. They're discussing it NOW.

[FreedomCalls]

There aren't many Lubbockites that have noticed the cross side of the story.

That show you how effective the diversion story is working. Anyone talking about the cotton side of the story might as well go around with a big fish hook in the side of their mouth. They've been had.

[hispanarepublicana]

but if you're gonna call, you've got 13 minutes! the show's over at 9 a.m.

single issue cat hater?

Are you kin to the single issue smoker haters?

[petitfour]

Leash the songbirds, too. They poop on hubby's truck.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I have no idea what has already been said on the show...... have they mentioned the bolls form a cross?

single issue cat hater?

I'm not a cat hater.

I'm an irresponsible cat-owner, hater.

[Phantom Lord]

I disagree. Cats are far easier to shoot if not on a leash. The owner tends to get a bit upset when you pluck off their pussy from 20 yards while they are walking down the street.

Folks, the lines through the new shield also form a cross. Maybe a little less obvious but still a cross.

[hispanarepublicana]

show's over....i'll keep you posted via ping or FReepmail.

cotton is bad. after all, it's white, and it's worthless without a market.

No more cotton shirts for the women. I want them off now!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Bingo. That's the real story behind this idiocy.

I hope the alumni can get this fool tossed out.

[ladtx]

Why would they want to take the cotton off the seal when this is what you see once you get out of the Lubbock city limits?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Sorry - I hope the phones are ringing and emails flying today at Tech....... my daughter forwarded the emails to everyone she knows at school -

The funnier email I received was from Lynn Denton - she used quotation marks around many comments such as

..The project that we are working on involves establishing one “academic visual identity” for the academic activities of the university

...There are hundreds of disparate academic “identities” and by not having one unified “academic identity”

LOL, is this REALLY considered professional at a level of collegiate management?

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list!

[hispanarepublicana]

thanks, Meek. even for those who aren't Red Raiders, this is about not being run over by liberal academic elitists.
