Re: Changing a team name
After 11 years, Team 422 has remained the Mech Tech Dragons. (Mechanical/Technical Division of Maggie L. Walker GSGIS, which has a dragon as a mascot.)

I don't like it. At least a few other team members don't like it. We will probably retain the name for my senior year. The Iron Dragons, Stell Dragons, and even the Green Monsters have arisen as past candidates, all to fall at the hands of rational complacency.

The team earned a bad rap through '07 and '08, but the name just sticks. Whatever.

Advice to all teams when picking names. If you run out of fingers and toes to count the teams with a similar name, please consider a new name. If I run into a rookie next year with ____Hawks, we're going to have to talk.
