Home of the Fighting Viruses

[bookofdanielvol2]

 Apparently there's a big controversy in my hometown over the high school changing their team name/mascot from "Indians."  I wasn't into team sports, I didn't peak in high school, and I haven't been in high school for 20 years, so I don't really care all that much about school spirit or tradition, and frankly it should have been changed years (if not decades) ago anyway. 

I assume they'll end up being the "Coxsackie-Athens Owls," derived from the supposed meaning of the town name, and that's fine with me.  Owls are pretty badass.  But they could go with something else Coxsackie's known for, like being the "Coxsackie-Athens Viruses" or "Coxsackie-Athens Inmates."

Or they could go back into the town's history and resurrect the "Coxsackie Fat Men's Baseball Group," a team that really did exist in the 1870s.
