"Yes We Can"
I predict that Republicans and Democrats alike will be utterly sick of this phrase by January. Last night, I heard it on the ESPN broadcast of a NBA basketball game... "Right now, Denver needs to take a page from Barrack Obama's book and ask themselves 'Can we get a stop? Yes we can!'" (Note... they didn't).
Today, I read it in a story that mentioned a press release from a San Jose Animal Shelter, after the Obamas said they'd adopt a dog from a rescue shelter:
"We are very pleased to hear that President-elect Obama has decided to adopt a puppy from an animal shelter," said Jon Cicirelli, deputy director of the San Jose Animal Care Center. "Our residents can follow his lead and ask themselves if they, too, can make a difference in the life of a homeless animal. We say, 'Yes, you can!' "

There was wistful talk once upon a time of having some sort of basketball (or other sporting) tournament between the various Wolf-themed mascot schools.
NC State (Wolfpack), Nevada (Wolf Pack), and New Mexico (Lobos) all seemed like ideal candidates, and surely there's other options.
Nevada is just good enough to have a bugger of a time finding quality opponents, and just bad enough that we don't have teams beating down our door to play us.
Then we played New Mexico in the NEw Mexico bowl last year, and our performance was so bad most people still spit when they hear of the Lobos.
Well, not really... but I sure feel like it sometimes. It's not every day a streak of consecutive games without a shutout dating for almost 28 years comes to an end.
