The Chief no more

Having been lucky enough to see Chief Illiniwek perform at Huff Hall in between games 2 and 3 of a women's volleyball match, I'm sad to see the tradition being banned forever from Illinois athletic events. Wednesday night was Chief Illiniwek's last performance.

I know, I'm not an indian, but I always thought the Chief's performances were very respectful of indian ancestry, unlike, say, the Cleveland Indians' Chief Wahoo. I'll never understand the PCness that demands these performances be banned.
