Maybe the NCAA should require a name change. Keeping such a name would be deemed insensitive to those who might be offended or somesuch.

Are we talking about the Golden Hurricanes or the Green Wave? Both names could be said to have done some damage. The Green Wave doused New Orleans and the Hurricanes trashed the Mississippi Gold Coast and will hit the Texas coast.

Golden HURRICANE, not plural, and I thought that meant a tornado or something like that right?

A giant mustang destroying dallas would just make it that much cooler of a mascot. People are just too sensitive. If I were to open a university today in lousisiana I would name it after katrina. Either that or some sort of "offensive" steriotype about white people.

Just had an interesting thought - the Arkansas Deliverance.

In that case.. How bout, the SMU "Laura Millers"

She's destroying the city we're in pretty much. Did you see how she's totally dropping the ball on the Texas / OU game?? First it was Jerry-land moving the Cowboys interests from Dallas to Arlington.. now TX/OU taking their game back to a home - and - home and walking on the contract extension through 2008 b/c of the delapitated Cotton Bowl.. and no real commitment to fix it up.

Dallas is losing alot because of this power hungry [deleted].

I thought Golden Hurricane sounded like a porn reference.

Nah, the difference is that you can respect a hurricane or natural disaster.

first of all, she has no vision. She views herself as the pothole and garbage service mayor. She punted the Dallas Cowboys without so much as an effort. That was a 50 year opportunity for downtown/South Dallas. She was a detractor from the Trinity project for a long time and is now a half hearted proponent. We think. She lost the Strong Mayor referendum, showing no ability to influence poeple on either side.

I dont care if she is liberal or conservative, I have a problem with her attitude and style. She outta go back to muckraker reporting at the observor. She can report and critique and criticize over there and get out of the way.

I believe a Golden Hurricane is in reference to oil shooting out of the ground. That is not a natural disaster, but one of nature's blessings to anyone who has drilled the well. All tree huggers though would probably view the same as a natural disaster. The porn reference is to a "shower" which to some is also exciting. To each their own.

When that one of 14 is assumed to be in power, yes. If you don't like being in power or people assuming you are in power or you don't want to take responsibility for something you shouldn't become its supposed leader. Simple as that.

That is perhaps the most ignorant post in the history of posting.
