UI Drops ‘Beat BSU Week’

In past years the week before the Boise State football game has always been known as “Beat BSU Week,” however to promote and build up school spirit, a change has been made. During football season the Student Alumni Relation Board, otherwise known as SArb, has called away pre-games Vandal pride days, and plans on naming the week before the BSU game “Vandal Pride Week.” “In light of this being the last year of us playing Boise State we plan on promoting a Vandal pride week, because we are all about building up school spirit and what it means to be a Vandal, so instead of tearing down our opponent we are building ourselves up,” said Tim Helmke, SArb adviser/Kayla Herrman, UI Argonaut.

Question: Do you agree with the switch from "Beat BSU Week" to "Vandal Pride Week"?
