Georgetown has a real-life dog for a mascot, Jack the bulldog. Boo-yah. Always the highlight of halftime when Jack is given an effigy of the opposing team's mascot to chew up. As for Gunston at GMU, all he needs is a good dry cleaning.

G-Dub kids don't even deserve a cool mascot. I went to a few men's basketball games when I was in grad school there and the student section was pathetic. And that was a couple years ago, when they were ranked. But there was this gung-ho male cheerleader that ran around with his flag at half-time like his $40 grand tuition depended on it.

Doesn't the GW mascot look like he's looking down ominously at the girl in the blue shirt?

All fuzzy mascots bow to Xavier's Blue Blob

I love how the GW mascot scans the crowd in that pic: 'I'll track down the tart who gave me syphilis and destroy her with my laser vision. So it is said, so it shall be done!'

As a graduate of GMU, this is really heartbreaking. I loved that furry monster...whatever it was. If Mason goes with something like this , I'll be really embarrassed.

For historical accuracy, it should be called Virginia's Envy (as Washington insisted, and Jefferson, as a result of a wager, confirmed), not Little George.

The Terp is not as much fun now that he has a soft turtle shell. It was awesome when the other mascots used to push him over on his back...and he'd be unable to get up. (We had a slightly manic and unbalanced Cavalier in the 90s, ok? And I won't even mention the Demon Deacon's bad behavior...)

Little George looks more like a demonically possessed Quaker Oats guy. GW shoulda just bought a second-hand George Washington mascot suit from the Nationals. Either that or go with a quarter or dollar bill mascot costume.
