On the show today we talked about William and Mary changing their mascot to a griffin. Now anyone who plays World of Warcraft will immediately know what the heck this college is talking about, however everyone else is subsequently freaked out by this monster.
I mean what the hell is this thing?
The school president said it "speaks to our deep roots in American history," which makes complete sense since our country was founded by numerous half-eagle, half lion men. I think I saw one at Walmart the other night.
This of course follows a long line of universities that have changed their mascots including Eastern Washington University which was originally called the "Savages" (Obviously not the most sensitive mascot ever) but decided to go with the "Eagles" in the seventies, which is kind of like a Griffin, but without all the weirdness.

Try filling out a 96-team bracket
Who's ready for March Stuffness. Since this is America and we're all about everyone getting a fair shot, we've decided to let EVERYONE into the NCAA Tournament. Hooray!
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—The NCAA appears to be on the verge of expanding the men’s basketball tournament to 96 teams.
Insisting that nothing has been decided, NCAA vice president Greg Shaheen nonetheless outlined a detailed plan Thursday that included the logistics and timing of a 96-team tournament, how much time off the players would have and even revenue distribution.
Shaheen said the NCAA looked at keeping the current 65-team field and expanding to 68 or 80 teams, but decided the bigger bracket was best fit logistically and financially.
It would be played during the same time frame as the current three-week tournament and include first-round byes for 32 teams.
At this point do we even need to play the regular season anymore? College basketball just got watered down big time. Thanks NCAA!
