Griffin - nogretheogre - 09-12-2015 11:24 AM Our Griffin is now 5 years old, which in mythical animal years, I believe is a mature 35. I think this bye week is a good time to reflect on the mascot and he/she/its anniversary. First, we were promised a naming contest at "a later date." This has yet to come to fruition. Second, I believe it is high-time that the college look into a more menacing variation of said beast on various merchandise items/sculpture etc, since the cartoonish drawing one is really just for kids. I am very happy with the physical costume, but I think the artistic renditions could be expanded. From W&M webpage FAQs About the Griffin "What will the Griffin's name be? We haven't selected a name for our Griffin yet. We plan to conduct a naming contest at a later date." RE: Griffin - zablenoise - 09-12-2015 11:29 AM I know the Alumni House used to sell a tie with a griffin on it. It didn't look "menacing" but at least it didn't look dumb. I wouldn't mind seeing that. RE: Griffin - TribeNomad - 09-12-2015 11:31 AM How about Sir Christopher? Too stuffy? RE: Griffin - billymac - 09-12-2015 11:53 AM Peter or Merv... RE: Griffin - TDenverFan - 09-12-2015 12:09 PM Maybe after Jimmye retires they could name it after him?

RE: Griffin - Blow Gym rat - 09-14-2015 10:37 AM He already has a first name, but the Athletic Department hasn't wanted to publicize it for some reason. I don't know why -- I think "Ebirt" is a nice name. Name your next child "Ebirt."

Griffin - SoCal Frank - 09-16-2015 09:49 AM What about 'Griff'? It's catchy; like the Griffin. RE: Griffin - Tribe4SF - 09-16-2015 10:54 AM (09-16-2015 09:49 AM)SoCal Frank Wrote: What about 'Griff'? It's catchy; like the Griffin. I've been calling him Griff since he arrived. He always answers to it. So that's settled. RE: Griffin - nogretheogre - 12-19-2015 03:15 PM . .
