UNIVERSITY OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA FIREBIRDS
Location: Washington, DC
Division: NCAA Division 2
Conference Affiliation: Independent
Major sports: basketball, soccer, volleyball, tennis
Comment: The NAIA has the Sunbirds, D2 has the Firebirds! It seems odd that a city known for
pompous blowhards and self-seeking demagogues of both parties would have a university that features such a cool nickname for their sports teams. In fact, Firebirds is a much more memorable nickname than Redskins, Wizards, Capitals and Nationals.

Heya i’m for the first time here. I came across this board and I find It really useful
& it helped me out much. I hope to give something back and aid others like you aided me.
Awesome team!
YEs they are !
Robert, they vary. It’s up into the authors. Many with the letters coming up are handwritten, or hand-notated, it’s about half and half. Though most of your first letters were typed. The fourth letter was a comic.
Nobody cares about these shitty schools.
Your sisters told me they do.
My dream retirement would involve a nice log cabin in the mountains. Who needs a beach?
Exactly
Firebirds are the coolest team name ever
It is pretty cool!
