@PunkBaller23 they wanted both teams to change their logos

It is most sad.. due to well that you are not getting that it is something special and that the small turnout.. well, just look at the next year... The U of I's attempts to move the date, which caused the freedom of information act to be enacted... Showing that they did try to change the rules to stop the performance.. over 5 thousand this year? :)

How sad this looks.. let it go people.. let it go.

@scott92507 wasnt it cleveland that they wanted to change the logo

@deemack25 well heres how it happened, leprachans dont exist, sadly, pirates dont exist on the high seas anymore, also tragic, and probably most tragic is that the seminoles get to stay around because the actual seminoles tribe loves it, and i only say sadly to that because its sad that illinois couldnt get some endorsement like that from the illini indian tribe
