Tuesday, September 28, 2010 Editor: Jake Lovett Sports sports iowastatedaily.com | 515.294.3148 6 Iowa State Daily Football Commentary What’s in a team’s name? By Jeremiah.Davis iowastatedaily.com
ne of the best parts of college is taking part in intramurals. O Sometimes it’s kids who were good in high school and still want to compete. Other times it’s kids who didn’t play in high school, or like me, were on the team, but simply weren’t good enough to play. Half the fun of assembling a team, though, is picking your team name. Almost every team tries to come up with a funny or ironic name that could be an inside joke, or one the whole world would be in on — see: anything regarding Ben Roethlisberger or Michael Vick. Our counterparts at the Daily Iowan put together a list of their favorite intramural names, and we thought we should gauge the level of creativity Ames-based teams bring to the table. So I took a look at the list for this year’s ISU intramural flag football teams, and with the help of the Daily staff, we selected the five best team names. If you don’t agree, or have a name you think is hilarious, feel free to e-mail us at sports@iowastatedaily. com. Linebacker Jake Knott catches an interception in Saturday’s game at Jack Trice Stadium against Northern Iowa. Knott had But before we get into the five best, I’d like to address the 11 tackles and one interception to help the Cyclones beat the Panthers 27-0.

I understand being a fan of Iowa, but you really couldn’t come up with anything more ingenious than calling yourselves by the same name as our school’s biggest rival? Linebacker Knott earns Secondly, I’d like to address the women. All the team names in the women’s division were average to bad, with no clever or original names.

Resist the use of animal products in ap- parel and cosmetics. • Vegetarian: Eliminates meat and fish from diet. May consume honey and gelatin. Some use of animal products, such as leather. • Ovo-Vegetarian: Consumes eggs but no meat or dairy. • Lacto-ovo-vegetarian: Consumes dairy products and eggs but no meat. • Pescetarian: Consumes seafood in an otherwise meat-free diet. • Flexatarian: Consumes primarily a plant-based diet plus occasional meat. May consume fish, dairy and eggs occasionally as well.
So, this year we are encouraging you to try being a vegetarian for just one day. Who knows? You might love it enough to change your eating habits or maybe just find some creative ways to introduce more fruits and veg- etables into your everyday diet.

By Kelsey Schirm AmesEats Flavors Writer
Many people see vegetarianism as a fad people follow for moral reasons, but did you know some people are vegetarians for religious reasons? There are many types of religions around the world that prohibit the eating of certain types of meats.
Larger religions that set restrictions on meat include Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. Each reli- gion has a different reason as to why they abstain from certain types of meat.
Catholicism: You may have seen people shuffling around the dinning centers on Fridays around Easter looking selectively for a meal that doesn’t contain meat. The Catholic tradition Lent is one of the most-known religious food restrictions within the United States.
Judaism: Food consumption is affected by Laws of Kashrut. Food that is kosher is permitted to be consumed. Non-kosher foods include pork, shellfish and rabbit. Any other type of meat that is eaten must be slaugh- tered by a kosher butcher, and the blood must be removed before consumption. Photo: Thinkstock Another restriction concerning meat is that Jewish families must have two separate sets of dinner ware: meat. Many Hindus are vegetarians, but some choose vegetarian. one set for meat products and one set for other foods. not to completely cut meat out of their diet. Those that do eat meat eat absolutely no beef because cows are According to the Laws of Kashrut, consuming dairy Along with reincarnation, another motive is stated in sacred within the Hindu religion. products and meat products within the same meal or one of the five moral percepts: “I take the vow not to less than six hours of each other is prohibited.
