It has been mentioned here that Arkansas State was going to change their nickname from the Indians to something. Well, it's official now.
The Arkansas State Red Wolves. Hm. I dunno, at least it's unique. While the Indian Mascot/PC thing is another story for another day, what do you guys think about the name change?

I like it.
If ASU hires Nolan Richardson tocoach basketball, they're already talking about "40 minutes of Howl"
I Googled the term, apparently there is a breed of wolf called red. Indians isn't bad, I'd be way more offended by Washington Redskins.
Atleast they didn't go with "Bulldogs" or "Wildcats."
Yeah, I think Redskins should be changed.
I'm not a member of the PC Police, but if a significant amount of certain tribes are offended that their name is being paraded around as a mascot, the universities should listen. If some tribes like it, like I think the Seminoles do for Florida State, more power to 'em.
