Dude it was just speculation. Maybe stupid speculation. I asked for it to be deleted early on, but nothings come of that.

Well, I did ask them to delete the thread early on.

Remember Yamma Yamma. Put together the “Bobby Bowden is the AntiChrist” banner in the 94 FSU game that didn’t get onto ESPN, but was hung in front on the student center. Remembered how the steps in the stairway attached to Hecht were rusting out. Took classes with Dr Cosford, for whom the...

I don’t...and I tried looking it up. I just recall reading a few months after Andrew...either in the Herald or the Hurricane that there had been a vote on changing the name, and that we elected to keep the Hurricanes name. It was a two or three line blurb.

Were you in Homestead? I was supposed to move in that day but stayed at home up in Coral Springs...we got Cat 1 caliber winds but nothing too serious. It was crazy though going back south two weeks later and seeing the extent of the damage.

Again, this wasn’t a call to change the name. I don’t want it to ever change. It was just a what if, based on trends and based on the fact that many years ago, in a less sensitive time, there was actually some sort of vote (perhaps totally against - IDK) to do such a thing. Again for the mod...

Yeah, that was kind of in the back of my mind. You could make the offensive argument with any number of mascots. Gators - Have killed people Tarheels - An epithet turned to a name of pride by NC soldiers in the Civil War Chipewas - Named after the Native American tribe that used to inhabit the...

I remember reading about it as a blurb in the Herald, and that it was voted down.

Yeah, I think I get what you are saying (although it turns out that after doing a quick web search, the question was already raised earlier this year in a not to serious matter). Again, my bad.

Wasn't trying to be bold, or make other fans or alumni angry. Just a question - not a position to do it. Didn't realize some of these guys would get so angry. My bad. Whoever runs this site - if you want to delete this thread, go ahead.

I choose to respectively disagree with you.

No, not that at all. I read an article this week about college teams changing their names or mascots for reasons of avoiding offense. We just had a Category 5 storm obliterate part of the Bahamas, we're traveling to UNC right after the same storm passes by, and I remember when Miami students...

What an appropriate response. How bold and courageous of you.

Why? I remember when it was tried in 1992. Not advocating for it, just speculating if and when the issue will come up again.

On Saturday the Miami Hurricanes travel to North Carolina, a relatively short period of time after Hurricane Dorian passes by. And while the storm will not bring the same level of damage as it did to the Bahamas, the question arises - do some consider it improper to name a team after a natural...
