Rebecca Durst named Mountaineer mascot

West Virginia University has named its second female mascot in school history. Point Pleasant's Rebecca Durst was announced as the Mountaineers' musket-carrying mascot for the 2009-10 school year Saturday night ...

As a West Virginia University student, I must say that I am deeply disappointed in the selection committee. Its supposed to be a Mountaineer; not a Mountaineer-ess. Damn it, first Obama; now this crap. Nothing is sacred.
