So Long, Peace Pipe

[jpfalcon09]

The PC/Non-PC debate can go on and on and on so I won't touch it other than to say that sometimes it is thrown out there as the excuse similar to how Title IX gets tossed around.

My two comments- 1. BATTLE OF I-75- c'mon the interstate stretches from Michigan to Florida and we are "battling" over a very small portion of that road. Why not BATTLE OF NORTHWEST OHIO?

2. The Peace Pipe Trophy will be housed in the University of Toledo trophy case because they most recently won the trophy. I think the trophy should be housed in the schools' trophy case that held the advantage in the PP series not based on who won it last.

1. Couldn't they come up with something creative relating to NW Ohio:
"The Mad Anthony Trophy"
"Floyd of Rossford"
"The Walleye Pole"
"Black Swamp Trophy"

Pick something a little creative. "Battle for Asphalt" doesn't do it.

2. If a trophy is being retired, it seems the right thing to do would be to commission a replica. Then both schools could house the trophy in their archive. . .

I wouldn't mind them naming a new trophy after two notable alumni from each school, or after a historical figure like Anthony Wayne or Commodore Perry...but then again I'm a big history buff. Battle of I-75 is silly and the fact that Taylor Kia sponsors it makes it already lose all credibility.

Good idea, LB. Why the hell should tsun get to keep it?

In all fairness, a Toledo player did come up with the idea and created the trophy, FWIW.

No wonder it looked so stupid...
