Lol. Saw that. No matter how it was meant, it looks bad. Everyone involved in making that project should be fired. If MT saw it before it "went to print," he needs to get fired and THEN roughed up by some hired goons.

I agree,   I had to look hard AFTER it was pointed out to figure what was up.    Just not on my mind.  I just saw Groce huggin his kid.

 I dont see the words PennSt and associate it with pedophilia.    Its a great campus and a great school,  and its a real shame what 5 or 10 people can do to sully its reputation.  Lots of great alums and great people from that school.

Overblown, but the ad could be better.

Oh no!  Deadspin took a leap in logic and made a dirty joke.   I am shocked.  Shocked i say.  This is totally the same as putting together an advisory board in the city of chicago.  Or not.

Meanwhile, back on topic...we DO need to market our university in Chicago before NW somehow high-jacks a lot of Big Ten fans and makes them think that NW is Chicago and UI is just another downstate school like SIU, EIU, WIU, ISU, etc.  

Top athletes know the difference - but we need Chicago's fans supporting us and not the Mildcats.
