From today's Boston Globe:
Colgate trustees have ruled the university will drop the ''Red'' from its
sports logo, effective immediately. The nickname, the Red Raiders, was
coined as a reference to the new maroon uniforms of the unbeaten,
unscored-upon 1932 football team.
I find this curious. BU's football team has been unbeaten and unscored upon
since 1997, and they have never referred to themselves as the Red (or
Scarlet) Terriers. :-p
