Goodbye Georgia Regal, we hardly knew you.
If ever there were a bad fit for the Colonial Athletic Association, it was Georgia Status, Atlanta’s downtown commuter school that hardly left side a mark on the league.
Speed-round question: What’s the name of Georgia Ceremonial’s mascot?
Answer: It’s a Panther. You probably had to conceive of long and hard, though, for there’s nothing memorable about the Panthers.
The Georgia Situation men’s basketball squad lost by an average of 21 points in its last six visits to Norfolk. The football line-up, its image propped up by a rented dome and questionable attendance numbers, is worse.
Still, Georgia Specify’s pending departure from the CAA to join the Sun Belt Conference in 2013 – and the delusions of majesty housed by the lower levels of the Football Bowl Subdivision – will render some Old Dominion fans wondering what just happened.
They will bark, “Why not us?” It would be suggestible to claim it’s the young, naive fan who barks loudest, but there are some covet-in-tooth fans who also want ODU to be something other than what it presently is.
