Hopefully sensible people are beginning to realize that you have to stand up for what you believe or someone will take it from you. Even Dave Chappelle has recently let the LGBTQRNMFXYZ community know that being nasty and militantly arrogant isn't funny. I hope this is the beginning of decency and common sense regaining prominence in our country. And absolutely GO BRAVES!
The Astros can look forward to starter, Minter, Jackson, Matzek, Smith.

Amen to that, Greg!

The 1990's and 2000's saw "red" dropped - St. Johns "Redmen" became "Red Storm" and Colgate "Red Raiders" became "Raiders" - there were others but those are the two that come to mind.
My first memorable name change was the Bullets, but I haven't been a basketball fan.
A come from behind thriller. We've got those Astros on the run now. I'll be down there at Truist Park tomorrow night to help cheer them across the finish line. Go Braves No question Jerryd!jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 4:16 am A win tomorrow night would make for a very memorable Halloween.
