GW will drop Colonials nickname

[Walter]

Only 538 students signed the petition calling on the university to change the moniker. There are 27,800 undergraduate and graduate students at GWU. In other words, the university's leadership kowtowed to the 1.9% who voted in favor of the referendum.

Squeaky wheel..........

The GW Generals... then they'd be expected to lose every game.

"Commissars" seems appropriate

Sounds too commie.

"Colonials" never made sense anyway. George Washington's whole thing was NOT being colonized.

"Continentals" might actually be a plausible answer, for the Continental Army.

I think that’s what their student section group is called.

Small, private college in upstate NY goes with Continentals. Hamilton College - D3. Guy Hebert's alma mater, for all those Mighty Duck fans out there.

It's currently called George's Army, but used to be the Colonial Army.

I'm back! Just sayin'. Sorry.
Thanks to Chris Metsala for his tech help!!
BTW, SINCE I USED TO BE HERE AS GMU79 and was a "Starter" and "Donor," is there any way I can get my credentials back? OR, return as GMU79?

You should be all set as GMU79 with your current password.

Ah! Cool! Thanks again!

 

[MasonFanatic]

Ah! Cool! Thanks again!

Welcome back, 79!

 

[GMU79]

Welcome back, 79!

Thanks. Good to be back. I've been reading, just couldn't comment.

A10 is lacking in Eagles.

A10 is lacking in Eagles.

This was my first thought. A safe name for sure.

 

[MasonFanatic]

Guys, they're clearly going to be the Rams.

Not inappropriate, but American U already is the Eagles and is only a few miles away from GW
