Here it is, you know it is coming, if you don't want to read it. Don't!!
The time has come for me to make my annual Saluki week post answering the age old question "what is a Saluki?"
You see, many, many, many moons ago in desolate area of what we now know as Egypt there stood a young man who had felt so alone for sometime as he was the black sheep of his family. He one day met up with this sweet little Saluki (weird looking dog) that was so ugly that itself had felt alone for quite some time. As the days passed the two grew closer, boy and dog until they were one day in-separable. After growing to love each other so much they felt that they should take their relationship to the ever so popular "next level" by loving each other and only each other.
Then one day the boy was becoming a young man and on his way home from school met up with another young man who shared the same interest as he, men. The two newly found “pals” loved each other so much that they decided to run away together to a predominantly alternative lifestyle university over in America in the southern part of Illinois where they could love each other without fear of being mocked by other young Egyptian men.
Meanwhile back in Egypt the young man's Saluki dog learned of his betrayal and soon found that his boyhood friend had moved to... you guessed it, Carbondale Illinois. The pooch was so distraught over this and so hurt that it began feeling so different than other dogs until realizing one day that he could fly. That’s’ right, this pooch could fly. After researching America and learning were Carbondale was it started flying over there. Feeling so alone that it became very violent eating children along the way!
When the Flying Dog got to Carbondale it had eaten so many children that it became rather large and could no longer fly (much like the women at SIU) so it waddled all the way into town only to be destroyed by several young men who led an alternative lifestyle who also played a new sport to the University called Football! They loved the fact that they all got to wear tight pants. "We must kill it" the feminine men shouted! "It has eaten so many children", so they did, they killed it. Years after the whole traumatic ordeal SIU decided that they needed a new nick name for their soft, feminine football team. That is when one of the “different” men remembered this experience and said, "hey,” “why don't we call ourselves the Flying Saluki Dogs that eat Children"?
The new football team was the envy of the land until one day some right winger across campus felt that the name was too violent and the team was ordered to shorten its name to the Saluki's.
Everyone here should now know that the true SIU mascot is named:
"THE FLYING SALUKI DOGS THAT EAT CHILDREN"
Thank you all for reading this ridiculous post, lets go Panthers!
