DURHAM -- The late Dr. James E. Shepard, founder of what is now N.C. Central University, had a saying he'd repeat at large gatherings and special occasions to inspire the students.

"The Eagle is no common, ordinary barnyard fowl," Shepard would say of the school's mascot. "And while a sparrow clings to its flock, an Eagle soars alone."

That easily can be said of the university's athletics teams over the 2005-06 academic year.

Good. What's the matter? Are they supposed to be scared? We're D-I, and I HOPE they call us out. It will make for a better butt kicking when we play them. Why don't the schools they are calling out schedule them and shut them up on the field?

That's all we need, another Savannah St. on our schedule. Thank God this is the last year of that contract.

They won't be Savannah St. They're football program is run very well, and given a few years, they'll probably be rather competitive in Div. I-AA.

Dude - it was a joke - hence the bolded "BARNYARD FOWL".

Delaware, CCU, URI all have some variety of chicken as their mascot - i.e. Barnyard Fowl.....

Your joke was too subtle. Next time, bold the letters and capitalize them or something.:rolleyes:
