Fair fight in Normal????
Coalbears Link Pantagraph Update
Way too much excitement in central Illinois this week as groups cry foul at possible voter scandal and computer and technology tampering. The bigger question why is Stories Behind the Fur not responsible or getting press…..Voting went as planned, closed last night and the name will be announced May 18.
We’ll be on pins and needles until then!

Other Mascot Bloggers…
Elgin Community College now has a few official bloggers on campus and of note the Stories Behind the Fur, SpartaCat, the school’s mascot is one of them. Unfortunately SpartaCat has yet to really post much. Guess the cat is no threat to the University of Wisconsin Parkside’s Rangerbear, a Mascot of Mystery.

Students for Chief Illiniwek
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-talk-illiniweknov12,0,5703258.story
Since I moved to Chicago in 1985, I couldn’t understand the passion and heated discussions with University of Illinois and Chief Illiniwek and his traditional dance.
Recently in college sports, we’ve seen many colleges evolve and change mascots, moving from native American representation to a warrior or a different mascot character altogether. University of Illinois in particular seems to want to keep the tradition going. So, after 2 years of being away, Chief Illiniwek will be dancing and rallying the fans for the Ohio State football game in Assembly Hall.
