Zoo changes animal names after complaints June 15, 2005 CBS SportsLine.com wire reports ROYAL OAK, Mich. -- Some University of Michigan backers weren't amused to learn the Detroit Zoo's baby wolverines had been given nicknames of rival Big Ten teams. After receiving several dozen complaints, including threats to cancel memberships or reduce donations, the zoo renamed the 3½-month-old kits last week. A zookeeper who graduated from Michigan State University had named the kits Sparty -- for the MSU mascot -- and Bucky, either for the Wisconsin Badger mascot or a variation on the Ohio State Buckeyes. "We got some e-mail and phone calls from zoo visitors and the general public who were deeply offended by the names," zoo spokeswoman Rana Kozouz told the Detroit Free Press on Tuesday. "So we changed the names to Tamarack and Tilia, the names of Michigan trees." AP NEWS The Associated Press News Service Copyright 2004-2005, The Associated Press, All Rights Reserved |

The boosters up there are fuggin idiots. A few years ago they put a big "halo" of Maize and Blue around the stadium, it actually looked cool. But the boosters felt that it looked too "new" so they pulled their money (or threatened to) and the U removed it. fuggin idiots
