Mastodons: still extinct

Between 10,000 and 60,000 years ago, humans incorrectly decided that furry walking mammoth-like beings would be too much of an inconvenience blocking city streets, interrupting pickup basketball games and such so they decided to hunt them down and put them into extinction.

I think everyone today would agree this was a big mistake.

And yet today, nothing has changed. Over the last two years, the (Purdue Fort Wayne) Mastodons have been hunted down (in the Horizon League tournament) by the (Northern Kentucky) Norse and the (Cleveland State) Vikings. This year, it was Northern Kentucky’s turn, holding the Mastodons under a point per minute for most of the game in an eventual 57-43 win. Of course, perspective: for the prior 13 years, Purdue Fort Wayne was consistently being killed for hide by the Summit League, and the Horizon League hasn’t been nearly as cruel to its NMTC brethren over the years, but it was a disappointing end to a pretty nice season.
