Let’s face it, Georgia Southern University isn’t only the 2014 Sunbelt Conference Champion… it’s also the greatest university in the world, at least in the opinion of every single devoted Eagle here in Eagle Nation.
Being “True Blue” means that:
…you scream “WHOSE HOUSE?” at the top of your lungs at every football game regardless of how obnoxious you look, just to remind the opponent that “OUR HOUSE” is a force to be reckoned with.
… Erk Russell is more than just a former coach of the Eagles to you. He’s a legendary figure who remains at the heart of Georgia Southern.
… Gus isn’t just the name of one of Cinderella’s mice -- Gus is the official Eagle mascot, with more school spirit than any of the Sunbelt’s other mascots combined.
… “The Plaza” isn’t some fancy upscale hotel-- it’s a place known for celebrations --- victory after victory.
… no football game is complete without “Freedom’s Flight”, and you’re forever touched by the moment Freedom flies over you at your commencement ceremony.
… Appalachian State is the one team you will never find yourself cheering for, and you have participated in the famous “App State” chant.
… Georgia State is a joke, and in the end we all know who the REAL GSU is – and they aren’t Panthers.
... Eagle Nation is your home away from home, and being surrounded by your Eagle family is one of the best feelings ever.
In the end, being “True Blue” means that you’re loyal to the bone, you bleed blue and gold, and no matter how many times you have professed your love for Georgia Southern -- you are always ready to do so… “ONE MORE TIME”.
