is it me or does ms glakas look like chyna? if so, i doubt anyone will be catching her chyna syndrome

Thanks for the great update Dan. Glad to see you listen to some folks -- unlike the Mason administration.

We should raise about $915.00 and send you your very own "Guck Funston" commemorative shirt....how about it?

The video has me on the fence. Sorry, Dan.

I was pro-Gunston, until the video. Anyone that refers to him/herself in the third person should be eliminated.

But an actual Patriot. eh. Maybe if they just do some sort of vocal box removal. On live TV.

The Mason folks ought to chill. It's not like they're saddled with some of the lame mascots that inhabit some western colleges.

Bannana Slugs anyone? How about the Scottsdale Community College Artichokes?

Gunston the Patriot, the apparent love child between Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch should at least be put to some sort of referrendum.

Can anyone really think of a mascot that doesn't suck at some level? Everyone's mascot looks rediculous.

I really wish the fans would put this much effort into maybe coming up with some unique cheers or songs to sing at games. Instead they would rather have vanilla fans and a new shiny mascot. How lazy.

I also like how people actually trust the Mason admin to, once they change Gunston, actually put a new mascot out there that they will like. You people have seen the past mascots and you know how much they sucked. Most likely you'd hate the new mascot too.

And "Guck Funston"? Way to come up with a totally hack shirt. But that is consistent for people that put so much effort into a tradition that encourages the fans to be lazy by letting one person do all the work.

OH. Dear. God. Please, someone put a bullet in the furry thing. (not the guy in the costume, just the costume)

Gunston scared my child so badly that she now roots for VCU. Get that Sesame Street reject off our court!

Thanks for the update Dan. It is good to see a follow-up on the story. It would be nice to hear what the administration has to say about the revived controversy.

Dan- Thanks for the press on this very important cause! I think our other unofficial mascot, "Fro", should be recognized for his hard work throughout the years. Fro got twice as much respect (and national press) before the Final Four Run. Keep up the good fight anti-Gunstonites!

"Gunston need revolver to shoot himself in head!"

"Gunston likes to rid the magic train." Lol..classic. I hope Gunston lays down on the tracks when that magic train comes through.

Wise resembles Gunston!ha!

GO TERPS!!!

I love Mike Sawyer!!! Where did this interview take place and when will his blog be on here? Mike Sawyer for president (or at least stripper)!!!

Gunston is evil and a rival mascot will emerge!!!

At least Gunston has a tri-corner hat. That is sort of Patriot-esque, even if it is also fuzzy. And as a GW grad, at least he's not an inflatable hippo. That is a travesty.

Gunston is the reason there is war, famine, disease in the world. He is the reason my girlfriend broke up with me. He is the reason I left my pop-tart in the toaster too long this morning and burned it setting off the fire alarm at work and ruining a perfectly good toaster.

Get rid of Gunston now, before prophecies of biblical proportions are fulfilled.

I never actually watched that embarassing video. Only the Rock can talk about himself in the third person, not the big green androgenous blob.

DEATH TO GUNSTON.

Thanks for the followup on the Gunston debate Dan, and posting the video, which should put an end to the matter. A green hairy blob speaking in third person soliloqies is intended to promote applications to GMU??? Good grief. Who was the producer/script writer for this particularly lame drivel? Yoda?

Once-and-for-all, fellow fans from across the CAA BEG those in charge at GMU, please, please, please get rid of Gunston!!!

I love our people on CAAzone.com. You will never meet a more loyal group of alums, students and fans anywhere. And wow are they creative! It would be to the Administration's best interests to consider what this vibrant community has to say, before they make broad statements about what fans, students and alums feel about a particular issue.

First, Mike Wise calls my baby "androgynous looking" in a column last year. Then the school wants to do away with him. Then some guy says he wants Gunston dead on your Website. Gunston has parents, you know. You should be ashamed of yourselves for picking on my little furry baby.

all those people on the CAA zone are losers, get alife, it's mascot - half of you don't even go to school anymore, and all of you hated the patriot when we had it. gunston is fine - he's suppose to be an a$$, he get's attention, the school get's attention, it's all good. Only the no life losers, who obsesse about MAson basketball and crave to semll the jocks of our incoming recruits give a rats a$$. Oh but I forget you call yourselves the real fans - please I've read the board, get a hobby, get a dog, do something you're all pathetic
