The Utah Utes marching band has been invited to the parade. I’m sure the ACLU will be out to get them as well, even though the Ute tribe, similar to the Wyandotte, are supportive of the nickname use.
Perhaps the U. was invited to promote the recent PC fantasy from the sports media that the #2 college football team should be considered the real national champion.
By the way, the Obama people issued the invitation about one week ago, by which time there was no lodging available. That’s the sort of pie-in-the-sky planning we can expect from Hope and Change over the next two years. (To its credit, the U. is handling it as best they can, asking DC-area alumni to house the band members. As a BYU alumnus, I’ll not house anyone on official Ute business, but I wish them good luck.)
