Is it Summer yet?

I think it was the kid who showed up at each meeting cosplaying a different character and who nobody quite knew who he was because he never even signed up to the guild registry.

he'd just... show up.

And a bit of the former too.

Frightening.

I was in my college's anime club for like a month, but those people actually scared me.

Well, if it's any consolation, most of the girls in my club (which also hold most of the leader positions in the club as well) are openly into yaoi...  but I figure that's kind of a given.  Maybe I should start boasting about how great bakunyuu is...  :3

But regardless, they're all pretty cool people.  We have gaming nights all the time, playing SSBM and Halo 2 mostly.

Bastard.

That was another problem with the club there.  Like a 9 to 1 guy to chick ratio.  *sniff*
It'd be one thing if the one random cosplayer who always sat too close to me was of the female persuasion. -_-

Did I mention I have a penchant for getting felt up by gay men on the NYC subways?  I hate my life.

Well, ours is primarily male as well... though ours is probably a 3 to 1 guy-to-chick ratio, seeing how our club isn't that big yet.  It's been gaining a lot of popularity, though.

Oh yeah, I heard some kinda sucky news today.  My college's mascot is getting taken away by the NCAA since it has a Native American affiliation.  No more ASU Indians paraphernalia...  >_<

is the NCAA some sports organization?

So to what are they thinking of changing the team name?  The press release didn't seem to say.  Give us the inside scoop tetsaru.

NCAA stands for the National Collegiate Athletics Association.  Other than that, I know nothing about them, but apparently they must govern these sort of things.

Well, from what I've heard so far, the public will be able to submit ideas for a new team name/mascot, so it will be a while before I know exactly.  I believe ASU's mascot years back was the Gorillas, so maybe we'll revert back to that.  I've also heard the Wolves was a popular choice.  Personally I don't care, as long as it isn't anything stupid; I'm just concerned with what changes will arise from this.  Being a member of the ASU Marching Indian Band, I know that the school's fight song will have to be altered...  we may even have to get new uniforms (which could be a good or a bad thing, depending on how funds are allotted).  Anything with "Indians" on it, or has one of the certain logos, will most likely have to be changed.  =/

Summery for the lazy:

It's basically a legislative government for college sports. They have cabinets and committees (which may have subcommittees). Colleges that are part of the NCAA have reprisentatives in said cabinets and committees. They organize conferences and set and enforce rules for several sports. They also set championship tournaments for various sports.

I shall submit the fat, lazy redneck.  Now that's a mascot.

That's almost as bad as the Fighting Farmers... who the fuck came up with THAT name?

Besides that half-assed name, here's the local news' poll on the popular suggestions.  I voted for the Tornadoes, since the local high school's team is the Hurricanes, and the state's baseball (I think) team's name is the Twisters.  Besides, we get tons of tornadoes around here anyway.  >_<;

[MMX]

What about the Drunken Micks?

I totally just voted for the fighting farmers.  Go anonymous online polls!!
