It's Been Seven Hours and Fifteen Days

I will not argue over this. I simply get infuriated by seeing it. This, my friends, is the gesture for the only team outside of the state of Utah which is referred to simply as "The U", namely Miami University. The pilfering of it by the Utes is incomprehensible.

It's as ridiculous as if they realized that the Utes were a tribe of indians, and therefore decided to do the tomahawk chop on third downs. No. No. And no. The only team in college sports allowed to do the tomahawk chop is the Florida State Seminoles. That's it. They've been doing it since who knows when, and have all but trademarked it.

I simply don't understand why the west coast biased sports world has overlooked this hand-gesture abomination for so long. It's mind boggling. Miami has been the only team to do this for decades. If only they would realize that teams east of the Rockies are just as important, we wouldn't have this episode.

The Utes can lay claim to the index-and-pinky-finger-extended-vertically symbol, although if they ever played Texas, this would inevitably lead to confusion. That's theirs, and I'll be sure to chide any hurricane seen performing it improperly. But please, let the once mighty 'Canes have the only thing tying them back to their glory days.

Word.
