MASON IS GETTING RID OF GUNSTON!!!!!
Throughout the Tournament I was mesmerized by this green, furry muppet with a heart of gold. He was picked on and made fun of the entire tournament….Here is the http://therealests.blogspot.com take on Gunston:
-Gunston: A fat-ass green dog that happens to love patriotism and college hoops
-Gunston: Regularly fails to get fans on their feet
-Analysis: Gunston is just creeping us out now.
Said Associate Athletic Director for Marketing Andy Ruge to the Washington Post: “We need to develop a mascot with a strong image. It would be nice if a freshman could see him and go, ‘Hey, that’s our mascot’ instead of going ‘What’s that?’ ” Ruge stressed that Gunston wasn’t being “offed,” but just reassigned “to children’s functions.”
According to the George Mason Traditions web site (http://traditions.gmu.edu), “Gunston’s legend is as mysterious as that of any other mythical creature.” Rumor has it that Gunston may have been hatched from an egg found by the Sociology and Anthropology Department during an excavation at Gunston Hall, the home of the university’s namesake. Whatever his origin, Gunston is Mason’s number one fan, spreading Patriot fever throughout the entire George Mason community.
Okay I take back everything I just said……that explanation is just retarded. RIP Gunston I’m sorry the Marketing “Pros” at GMU couldn’t help your survival.
