I'm a Georgia Southern Fan, and I approve this message.

'Oh, and there was one other change: After years of avoiding the term, the school began formally using the initials "GSU."'

Yes, we avoided the term so much it was our web address.

I was reading some of the tweets with #Statenotsouthern

the verbiage and dialect I imagine is similar to what one would hear in jail or in studio for a rap video…and I have been invited to some fantastic parties at various Atlanta hip hop clubs

people still hung up on the GSU things, my god

Wait, Georgia Southern and Georgia State play this week? I had no idea!!

Y'all should look into deactivating our accounts for this week next year.

Thought yall were a basketball school?

I think if you're bringing out black and white photos, the point is valid.

From a marketing standpoint, it's dumb for either school to use the initials unless you purposely want to be confused.

You would think a start up would want to create a unique brand. Southern figured that out a long time ago. It's State that is continuing the confusion at this point. There are so many better ways to market yourselves.

The only schools that use their acronym for the primary logo, have unique acronyms.

If Georgia State wins, I may have to deactivate several accounts anyway.

Want some cheese with this whine?

And typically "State" schools in basketball like NC State and Michigan State used just State on their jerseys or the location and state. As did we. I don't feel like digging through the GSU archives again.

Honestly, I could care less about the GSU thing. Yall claim it, so have it. I'm glad my school has distanced itself from what is now a tarnished brand name. Just wish the rest of our fans would let it go.

Don't see that happening anytime soon when the linked article portrays our use of GSU as the key event that made Eagle fans hate us.

I'll be honest. Back to the marketing point, I wish we used STATE more. I know UGA has laid claim to this is our state or something like that, but STATE of Atlanta wouldn't be half bad. Welcome to the Blue State. It seems there is some low hanging fruit there somewhere.
