truh-dish-uhn
TRADITION (truh-dish-uhn): a specific practice of long standing.
I was sent a link from a friend of mine that got me thinking. The holidays are breathing down the necks of everyone and Christmas is becoming more and more commercialized every year. This NAIA school located in Indiana has a very unique tradition.
It is called "Silent Night." Before finals every year the student body and fans attend the basketball game before finals dressed in their pajamas (the Barker house calls the JJ's or Jammers). The crowd stays silent until the 10th point is scored. Check out this video of the mayhem that ensues after the 10th point is scored.
I raise my glass of eggnog to you Taylor University. Celebrate your traditions and embrace the quirkiness that is the holidays.

Sacred Tree Vandalized...
I was checking out the latest headlines today and came across this story Famous Tree Vandalized.
I doubt you care but this made me sick.
A beautiful 2000 year old tree that went from this
To this
Is this the new TPing? I sure as hell hope not.
