From Braves to Wolves

[YaneA]

West Georgia, formerly the Braves, is now the Wolves. You'll recall that UWG solicited input from the NCAA whether there was enough of a difference between the "Braves" and "The Brave" to render the latter NOT hostile/abusive despite the NCAA's position that the former was. Perhaps if UWG had followed in Carthage's footsteps (NCAA approved change from "Redmen" to "Red Men"), UWG would now be known as the " Bra Ves" instead of the "Wolves."

I especially like the idea that the transportation system will now be called "Howl on Wheels" and the U's tour guides will be known as "Where Wolves." ("Where wolf? There wolf!")

Alert PETA, immediately! Wolves are still on the endangered species list, and even if they weren't I'm sure they would be offended by this incredibly insensitive gesture.

And more than 100 university supporters on hand for the announcement, too. Standing room only?
