But they're not changing the name of the stadium? The Cotton Bowl? Good Lord, do these people not realize that slaves used to pick cotton?

I'd laugh at your joke if I weren't so tempted to cry.....the pointy-headed elitists running my alma mater, Texas Tech, tried to remove the cotton bolls from the university seal a few months ago for what I suspect is precisely this reason.........the chancellor came close to being tarred and feathered (except instead of feathers, cotton would've been used).

You *had* to go and remind them of that. Next year it will probably be the Polyester Bowl. Oh wait, they use Oil, probably found by Haliburton, to make that stuff. Maybe the the Rayon Bowl? No wait, at least at one time, wood from trees was used to make Rayon?
