    Someone Please Change the Description of the Blonde Bomber Board

    At present, the Blonde Bomber board reads as follows:

    "If you don't know who TB is, then you are a communist who hates Johnny's Pizza and Coke Cola Icees."

    It should be penned as "Coca-Cola Icees." It pains my eyes every time I glance at the board. As the flagship message board for Louisiana Tech University, I believe we owe it to all alumni and current students to achieve a higher level of attention to detail.

    I understand Ruston wasn't built in a day, as the saying goes, but spelling is but a small hurdle in our quest to achieve our rightful place as the most reputable university in the Pelican State.

    "Aim higher." - Dr. Karl Malone

    Doesn't matter to me one way or the other......BUT, coke-cola is a fairly common pronunciation of coca-cola. Especially in the older generation. Think that's why its on there like that.

    I believe the "Coke-Cola" spelling was intentional, and intended for humor. Nothing more, nothing less.

    By the way, cool pic in your signature.

    I am disappointed, Dwayne. What is the genesis of this animosity that you feel toward Drinking at Sundown? Perhaps you went Glenbrook.

    Maybe D@S doesn't know Coke Cola is a bidness founded in Atlanta, Ga way back in the day.

    That the rest of the country outside the Deep South doesn't know how to properly pronounce it ain't our problem.
