Rest in peace, 'Scary Scot'

[David Dalglish]

I would not like to meet that on a dark night-Or any 7ft. Scotsman

Maybe I should cruise over there and explain, but then with the Grand Rapids Scottish Society chipping in the boosters should have a good idea of proper kilt dress. Kidding aside, Caledonia is a very good school district, good bunch of kids and excellant parent support. I used go there quite a bit when I was shooting pictures freelance for the newspapers.

ai still havin trooble wi using a nation o' people as a mascot....

seems insultin tae ma...

And a lot of Native American tribes agree with you! Others, however, like the idea; for one example, the Florida State Seminoles were given permission to use the name by the tribal elders.

The school is named after Scotland, and its sports teams play with the ferocity and intensity of Scots warriers.

I don't see the insult.

I, too, live a few hours away. I don't know too much about them though. I will probably keep my ears open about them.

I would suggest not continueing on the topic of mascots and being right or wrong. It can be a pretty touchy subject. (the college I attended was very near a reservation)

snip....with the ferocity and intensity of Scots warriers.

When I first read this I misread it as Scots waiters and I'm thinking OK, do they attack people with haggis?

[ronstew]

I pride myself on my spelling, but that one got by me. Had I typed "warriors," starbkjrus would not have been confused.

Nope, Northern Michigan University in Marquette and Michigan Tech(nological University) in Houghton.

hehehehehe. I normally exist in a state of confusion so your spelling probably would not have made a difference.
