slu72 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Okay, it's common knowledge very few people know what a Billiken is, but what the he&* is a Gee-Gee? Jimbo, I fully expect some creative outside the box analysis on coming up with your answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo, I fully expect some creative outside the box analysis on coming up with your answer. Western Ontario Mustangs. uOttawa (that's the way they like it) GeeGees. The GeeGees are another color mascot (the school colors are garnet and grey). GeeGees use a horse because GG means something to the horsey set. Sometimes toddlers like to call their grandmothers "Gee Gee" (with a hard "G"). http://www.geegees.ca/node/197 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo, I fully expect some creative outside the box analysis on coming up with your answer. The Ottawa Gee-Gees is an athletic team that represents the University of Ottawa in Ottawa, Ontario in all of its sporting events. The term "Gee-Gee" is taken from horse racing where a Gee-Gee is the first horse out of the starting gate. The name GGs also describes the university colours, garnet and grey. For many years, the team was known as the Garnet and Grey (French: Grenat et Gris); the name Gee-Gees was chosen to appeal to both francophone and anglophone fans of this bilingual university.[1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
