Thanks to all who listened to my podcast (Jack Vita Show) episode on Valpo team names and mascots. It's a bummer none of the names on our list are being considered, but I wasn't really expecting anything different. I won't be covering the Valpo mascot search on my show. I have instead been focusing on covering baseball, and actually just had former Marlin and ESPN's Baseball Tonight analyst Orestes Destrade on last week.
However, Paul Oren is doing a great job with his show, "Union Street Hoops" and he's been all over it. In the latest episode, I joined him, along with former Valparaiso communication professor and VU grad Andrew Stem, to discuss all of the names that are currently in the running. We'll also be recording an episode of Union Street Hoops whenever a new name and mascot is selected. I hope you will join us to continue the conversation!
Thanks again to all who tuned in, and have since weighed in on the conversation. Even to those that disagree with my vision for the university and perhaps didn't enjoy my podcast episode - I greatly appreciate your unique perspective and feedback and am thankful that you would take time out of your day to view or listen to my show. I have enjoyed reading some of the disagreements people have with me in this thread, and always welcome and enjoy a friendly and healthy exchanging of ideas!
