There was talk then, as you point out, of changing the name. The only serious consideration was "Longwood University." Many students, myself included - on a lark, did float the idea of it becoming "Farmville University" or "F.U.". There were even "F.U. - Undefeated" t-shirts that sprang up. (They promoted a nonexistent football team.) There were other knick-knack things with the "F.U." branding. But that was quickly dismissed by any serious person. It was, however, fun while it lasted.<br /><br />I think that "Longwood" is a pretty good sounding name. The "College" or "University" is sort of extraneous in most cases. I am proud of my alma mater hosting the VP debate. I am concerned at the costs (of about $5.5 million is the number I've seen). But the event seems to be setting up well. I look forward to seeing the debate on Monday night.<br /><br />People have asked if I was going to attend, but I am not. I didn't want to try to call in any favors that I might still be owed on this. And though I'd much rather vote for either VP choice above their running mate, I am still mostly sitting on the sidelines of this Presidential election.The Maximum Leaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049183891152402775noreply@blogger.com
