[NU Sports] Pride of Illinois?

[Beamsley, Jeff]

Roy,

I get it.

You didn't vote for Obama.

That doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of other people (a majority
the last time I checked) who ARE proud of him and have confidence in his
abilities.

That said, the suggestion DOES raise an interesting question.  If we're
talking about Presidents that have some affiliation with Illinois,
shouldn't Grant and Reagan be included?

Subject: [NU Sports] Pride of Illinois?

The Sun Times is reporting that they want to establish a "Lincoln-Obama
Pride of Illinois Trophy" for the NU-Ill game.

 

"Pride of Illinois" is a good name for a trophy, putting a name of a
living person (especially one who hasn't really done anything except get
elected) on any award can raise the ire of various alumni who may or may
not change their giving habits.

 

When they changed the School of Speech to whatever gobbledygook it is
now, I stopped giving and I won't send in any news because I graduated
from the School of Speech, not the new place. I says so on my diploma.

 

Yes on Pride of Illinois

No on putting names on it.
