That's Not Something You See Every Day

An article at ESPN.com's Page 2 about why the University of Delaware (Fightin' Blue Hens) refuse to play Delaware State. Honestly, I always assumed DSU was a Division III school, not I-AA just like UD. Interesting article. It does seem pretty clear that Delaware is ducking the game, mostly out of a paternalistic attitude towards the state's mostly-black college that is really astonishingly offensive in 2007.

But still. To see the word 'Delaware' in an article in any publication other than the Wilmington News Journal? Well, it just brings a warm feeling to the cockles of your heart, dunnit?
