<p>You may find BSU&#8217;s rationale for that pertinent.</p>
<blockquote><p>She [Rachael Bickerton, director of trademark licensing and enforcement for the university,] compared the blue turf at Boise State to &#8220;Touchdown Jesus&#8221; at Notre Dame or &#8220;Between the Hedges&#8221; at the University of Georgia.</p></blockquote>
<p>I wonder if anybody&#8217;s brought this to the attention of Stewart Mandel&#8217;s buddies in Montana.</p>
