Except everyone that shortens it to GTown? I can accept GTown way before GT. Anyone that uses GT for our beloved school is a troll, 13 years old or a Syracuse fan. I use GTown all of the time. I never use GT. If GTown is offensive to alums, I will stop. I have learned a lot of Georgetown etiquette from the board members over the years...lol

It is and was used to distinguish Georgetown from George Washington students - GT vs GW - when they serve in the same Hospital. I also agree that for the purposes of the Hoya Chat Board one should use GU. That being said, it it not an egregious error on the part of Med Students and Med Alumni to occasionally refer to GT, Meaning GU.

That being said, it it not an egregious error on the part of Med Students and Med Alumni to occasionally refer to GT, Meaning GU. I attended the medical school a few years back so I think I'm familiar with this issue. The school is called Georgetown University School of Medicine (GUSOM) and the hospital is MedStar Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC). Most of the medical students know we aren't GT and usually write GUSOM or GUMC in their documentation. Unfortunately I agree that some of the administration/doctors at the hospitals that different students from different medical schools are rotating so GT vs GW is sometimes used. I also attended the Georgetown for undergrad as well so every time I saw GT, I cringed but some of the med students that didn't know better used GT without pause.

I came here for some Cole Anthony news... I think we are out of the running because of an abbreviation apparently. Son of a b***h!

And here I've thought all this time that GU was Gonzaga. And GT is Georgia Tech. So we must be GTU. Or maybe UGT, University of George Town.

On the latest episode of Bill Simmons podcast he interviews Spike Lee. Spike mentions Cole Anthony as the next great NYC PG, and then almost says where (thinks) Cole is going to college, but quickly pulls back. It appears that Spike knows the parents well. Anyway maybe this is a good sign for us since Spike is a Ewing/Gtown guy...or maybe not, we will see.

Cole tweeted the other day and immediately dozens of UNC fans were begging him to come (could all be one bot π). I wonder if this sways a recruit. Our fan base is quite limited.

Forget our alumni, hire some Russians... they seem to have this voting via the internet thing figured out really well!

Not to say he's headed to UNC, but that's a domino that needs to fall before he does anything.

They have lost Bol squared, but Oregon is not good. It's not just any team that can blow huge leads twice to UCLA's crummy team.
