Not surprised to see VCU sort of leading the way, with us, Dayton and I guess St. Joes or maybe URI closely following. I wonder about SLU, Davidson and Richmond as they are often at or near the top in recruiting. And I guess UMass is trending upwards. Any signs of anyone falling off in terms of talent or numbers?

BREAKING: The George Washington University has voted to get rid of the colonial mascot, after years of concerns from leftists about the “inclusivity” of the mascot.

Good move for GW. If the student body/community doesn't want their nickname to be the Colonials so be it.
BTW George Washington fought a war not to be labeled a "Colonial"

They can follow our lead and become the George Washington Georgies They can now be known as the Georgie Girls after the 1967 song of the same name by the Seekers. Was a fairly popular release back in the day.

I guessed it, but since I didn’t have the stones to post it without first checking it on IMDB, I am disqualifying myself on principle.
Maybe GWU should be the “ Wolves” - it’s not like we ever use it.

This off of the Billiken message board:
BREAKING NEWS:
A coalition of women named Bonnie, lead by Bonnie Raitt and Bonnie Hunt, are suing St. Bonaventure asking them to eliminate the nickname "Bonnies", as it is, or could be, offensive and would either enhance or eliminate the chance that parents would call a new baby girl Bonnie.
(I only report the news)

In the early 90s, we lived in suburban DC/MD in a quaint 3 bedroom Colonial. I wonder what that house is now called.

(I only report the news) No problem here, we are the Brown and White, as in Unfurl the Brown and White. Or the Brown Indians or just plain Bonas......I have no freakin' idea what a Bonnie is? In four years at Bonas, never used the word or shouted it either. Just another invention of the former and VP and President.........................................

Don McLean, the original “Voice of the Bonnies “ on radio station WHDL, was in fact calling them the “Bonnies” back in the fifties, and did so for 33 years. If it was good enough for Don, it’s good enough for me.
