Colonel Will opines on the new mascot "choices"

The Ypsilanti Board of Education got it wrong again.

Narrowing down its list of finalists Monday for a new mascot to a quartet of lame choices – the Titans, the Generals, the Olympians and the Phoenix – the school board, whose own mascot should be the “Numbskulls,” again missed the boat.

The Numbskulls ignored the obvious choices, which could easily have been narrowed down to two natural choices:

The Bloods and the Crips. Let the students fight it out to see which one emerges.

Think of the built-in intimidation that comes along with either choice; the Dexter Dreadnaughts and Chelsea Bulldogs would definitely have a lot on their minds, upon lining up against either the Bloods or the Crips at Shadford Field on a Friday night.
