    Default Thought you Bisons would get a kick out of this....

    So, I was watching some college basketball today. All that was on was Liberty vs. Lipscomb. Who is Lipscomb, you ask? A small school in central Tennessee which apparently does not have an English department, as their sports nickname is the Bisons. Not kidding!bisons.jpg

    Anish tweeted about this. I can understand going with the different pronunciation, but the plural is just wrong.

    I agree. The folks at Lipscomb are only making themselves look like illiterate Tennessee hicks. Wait a minute, they are illiterate Tennessee hicks.

    Well, as a born and bred Southerner, I'm glad to see that illiteracy is not exclusive to the South.

    Good question. I think the Bizon will do better than most hope we will.
