The enrollment at GWU was over 27,000 last year with students from 117 countries. How did 200 people get so much power? How did they get the moral authority to say this was a bad choice for a mascot? If the Pope complained or Franklin Graham had complained, they would have told them to buzz off. What did they do in life to rate such a high admiration that their opinion carries that much weight? There are probably 200 people out of 27,000 who thinks that there should be no sex before marriage. Quote

So GW’s nickname will be gone really soon if you look at history of nicknames. Quote

Seems like we have seen this before. Kind of started out like this. Right, wrong or indifferent. We now have a right to not be offended. Quote

Hopefully Administration at GW can learn from UNDs mistakes and either quash this immediately or just change ce tomorrow and save millions on the process. unfortunately as is the case in a lot of these situations, the “student” group is just a front for the batcrap crazy admins. I predict a panel a committee, 8 million dollars down the drain and soon to be joining Denver In changing their name to some abstract concept ..... “Now welcome to the field your GW Inclusion for today’s mutually friendly unscored match with the Denver University Climate” Quote
The Sicatoka Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 I'm surprised the students at GW are only after the Colonials name and not more ... Quote

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 I can't decide if the NCAA is being gracious with this tweet, or flat out trolling UND. Either the name and logo are bad, or they aren't. If Sioux was so "abusive" that it had to go, why is it okay for the NCAA to dredge it up for so frivolous a reason? It's not like nobody ever gets offended by something they see on Twitter. Quote

the green team Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 You are correct. What have I been following all these years? I learned an important lesson... always look for the blue check mark Quote

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 You'll never guess the man/sweater combo the NCAA used for "9." How is this not a total troll job? Like, "Hey, UND, memba this?!?" Quote
jdub27 Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 The NCAA has no issues with UND using or displaying the logo in historical reference, seems like trying to make something out of nothing. They are recognizing all-time greats, not a ton of other picture of them to use. 2 Quote

I now feel i can taste the essence of the freedom and searing sense of enjoyment Bevo could look forward to in retirement. That type of seperation from his previous shacklement is truly a rare... or possibly medium rare experience. I hail the options this Peta people have brought forward with a celebration of montreal seasoning confetti in conjunction with liberated potatos carrots and celerery awash in a celebration of butter and onion seasoning in a melting pot of delicious unity.
