And we will, we will rock you.

Tennessee plays the Arkansas State Indians tonight, a team facing an NCAA-mandated name change, because it's acceptable to wave Confederate flags on national television but not to say "Indian".

Livia: maybe they mean the Arkansas State People From The Nation Of India.
Holly: Somehow I don't think the Arkansas state Dot Not Feathers would win them any more favor.
Holly: Wait, did you hear Bob Kesling just say that AK State used to be the GORILLAS? The Ozark Silverbacks!
Livia: because if there is one thing arkansas is known for, it is the silverbacks of little rock.

We spent the first quarter of the game brewing possible replacement mascots. The list so far:

• The Arkansas State Clintons
• The Arkansas State Surreptitiously Murdered State Troopers
• The Arkansas State Get Me The Fuck Out of Arkansasers
• The Arkansas State Mobile Meth Lab Explosion
• The Arkansas State Red Ferns
• The Arkansas State Hot Springs Yes We Have Hot Springs Here Fucks
• The Arkansas State Non-Indigenous Pine Beetle Infestation
• The Arkansas State Illegal Diamond And Gemstone Mining Operation
• The Arkansas State Vine Ripe Pink Tomatoes
• The Arkansas State Allemand Lefts
• The Arkansas State Ill-Advised Mark Twain Appropriations
• The Arkansas State Negative Population Growths
• The Arkansas State Tornado Alleys
• The Arkansas State Not Quite Ready For Colleges
• The Arkansas State Brought To You By Sam Walton And the Walton Family of Products
• The Arkansas State We're Sorry For Producing John Grishams
• The Arkansas State Living Wage Strikes
• The Arkansas State Manmade Lakes of Massive Proportion
• The Arkansas State Flat Alluvials

Livia: i am still really enamored of the vine ripe pink tomatoes
Holly: Fuck, we forgot to mention malaria.
Livia: and I never want to go to Arkansas again.
