Boise State University has turned down a request from veterans for a 21-gun salute on campus Monday to mark Veterans Day, saying it might scare bystanders still spooked by school shootings in other states.Translation: Administrators consider BSU students too stupid to read the flyers/signs/etc. that would be inevitably posted about the event.
In related news: a BSU student was arrested by campus police last week when his car's backfire convinced co-eds that there was a sniper in his backseat.
(the real story can be read here, my fake story can be read above):
UPDATED: After receiving several complaints, BSU reversed their decision. Still a stupid call, but at least they fixed it.

Well, administrators give students the credit of being only as intelligent as they (the administrators) are.
Er, wait....
Sorry, Hob. I got to admit, BSU students aren't that intelligent. Believe me! I'm taking freshman level classes. It's scary.
"As much publicity as this is getting, I think next year it'll be easier to have the 21-gun salute," Williams said Thursday.
Ya think?! As your title stated, even though the Vandals are 0-6 in the WAC (1-9 overall), we at least have this to be proud of.
