:: Letter to the Editor ::
Congratulations everyone. With the announcement that our sports teams will be called "The Wolfpack," we've officially crossed the line into the mind-numbingly generic. And here I thought we couldn't get any more drudgingly bland than "Thompson Rivers University." The Sun Demons was a distinct name. A unique name. A cool name, even! So when it came time to choose a suitable replacement, I'm glad that our think tank came up with the most overused, overdone theme in sports history. Timberwolves, Cougars, Coyotes...Wolfpack. And have you actually said the full name out loud? The TRU Wolfpack. My god. What are we, a rap group from Detroit? The name TRUly bites.
