This thread took on a much broader scope than my original thoughts - no problem with that, it seems to be a healthy discussion. However my original thought was that some outsiders may have Bullied us into altering our traditions. As in, we are Louisiana Tech and can handle our own affairs and need no help from outsiders. And if we choose to say a prayer (naming Jesus or not)(led by a Baptist, Catholic, Buddhist, etc. or even DogtorEvil standing on a beer keg at midfield) we will do so!
