Go Trolls!

There he is.
Today, a blue Prius drove through the intersection at 55th and Dorchester. Painted on its side: Trinity Christian College. Painted on the back: Go Trolls!

It turns out that Trinity Christian College, located in Palos Heights, southwest of Chicago, has a large blue troll for its mascot. Knowing anything about internet slang, and the propensity of some Christians' behavior as internet commenters, a troll seems like the last thing a Christian college would want for a mascot.

No one (that I could find in my five minutes of googling) seems to see any connection or negative repercussions for the trolls here (e.g. this sports site or the school's own athletics dept. page).
