I've written about renaming the boringly named New Hall as Mike Hall many times before, and with the season going like it is, I think it's time. Now here is your official do-it-yourself Colonial Hoops "Mike Hall" dorm sign. I couldn't match the exact font or color, but they're close enough, and the size is about right.
For legal reasons I am probably not supposed to say what you can do with this sign, so be sure you do not put the sign over the "New Hall" words on the dorm's blue sign, because that would mean the sign would read "Mike Hall" instead of "New Hall," and I'm sure we wouldn't want that. Masking tape probably won't take paint off but your results may vary. Just download the sign and print it out!
As I've written before, Mike Hall is a credit to GW. He's a good student, a good athlete, and a good guy who's made the NBA, the pinnacle of his profession, and singlehandedly willed the team to come back from an 18 point deficit against UNC-Wilmington in the NCAA tournament. What better reasons to (theoretically) name a dorm after somebody? We have dorms named for alums like Fulbright, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, Billy Mitchell, and the Marquis de Lafayette (ok, so he didn't go to GW.) So why not Mike? It's a lot better than "New," especially considering New Hall isn't even that new anymore.
