We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Congratulations Mount Pleasant, you named yourself after a mountain in a town that has never met one. The surrounding area is about as flat as your football team's season, making your town name about as accurate as calling a desert 'Lake Paradise.'
With a 30,000-seat football stadium and a conference standing that keeps sliding down the MAC table, the Chippewas are proof that you can build a big stadium and still be irrelevant in every sport that matters. Fire Up Chips? More like Fire Your Coaches.
Your high school mascot is literally named after an industry that peaked and faded before your grandparents were old enough to vote. Nothing screams 'living in the past' quite like celebrating an oil boom that started in 1928 and was basically over before the Great Depression finished unpacking.
When 15,000 college students show up and swell your population by more than half, that's not growth—that's life support. The moment graduation hits, they flee faster than oil left your wells, leaving behind nothing but empty beer cans and the crushing realization that you peaked as someone else's temporary address.
