real GSU, GS and GaSo knows who their Daddy is.

GS, Ga Southern... I think in this conference we could also go simply as "Southern" since that wouldn't really fit any other school.

I've seen GaSots a lot lately... not really a huge fan of that.

That's Panthersville's favorite. It stems from a typo when someone referred to us one time on the old PT board, and guys like Lex (Panthersville) really ran with it.

At least it's sorta original.

Only in the lead by 5 games. Hardly domination.

Some Sun Belt plays Southern their first game and it's not GaSo.

Denial is not a river in Egypt.

Appy, just don't come into Statesboro with a better record. The higher ranked team always seems to lose lately.
But GS hopes to end that trend this year.

Georgia Southern, GS, GaSou (ESPN version)

don't like GaSo sounds like an ant-acid.

Just call the Cajuns Cajuns. It avoids ALL sorts of issues.

I always did like stAte's logo and branding. Its unique and easily identifiable. Great colors as well.

True. I'm not a fan of it, but it's what will be scrolling by the screen on ESPN and other sports networks.

None of the ones listed for the Ragin Cajuns is acceptable as you'd be hard pressed to find any Cajun fan that uses any of those. Call us Louisiana. That's our brand. If you can't. Then call us Cajuns.

People are not going to do what you ask regardless of the many post on this site. There is plenty of information in this thread to use in replying to those that want to be jerks. I would suggest that Cajun fans just use whatever abbreviations are appropriate when addressing those posters. We've had enough discussion about names on this site, no more request from me.

GaSots - That abbreviation comes from the savages over there on Panther Talk!

Go with SoBama.

It happens, much to the consternation of both fan bases.

Hey - New Mexico, particularly the Mesilla Valley in which NMSU resides, grows copious pecans.

Betwixt the Georgias, Texas State, and New Mexico State, we could have a traveling trophy - the battle of the Pecan Pie. Takers?
