This past summer however, I had the good fortune to watch some real golden eagles doing their thing from atop the bluff at Devils Lake and realized that these are some pretty cool, impressive animals, not at all 'lame'.

We need to be the first team to just use a real photograph of the mascot.  The cartoon Southern Miss rip-off makes it lame.

As a recent alum, I am happy with Golden Eagles. Would Warriors be cooler? Yeah. But it's never happening and that's our own fault. Shouldn't have made a mascot as racist as Willie Wampum.

It's long past time to move on. When your leader makes a decision you don't like (provided its not unethical) you swallow your pride, move on, and try to make the best of it. Continuing to gripe and moan just makes us look bad.

It is kind of funny to hear announcers like Greg Gumble, Bill Raftery and Gus Johnson still refer to us as the Warriors.  Makes it hard to move on when you have iconic announcers still bring up the glory days of the past.


You don't "move on."  You build.  You should always remember who you are and that starts with where you came from.

Let's go back to Hilltoppers (I'd actually prefer it over Golden Eagles).

Hey that would be OK with me.  At least it has roots in our past and is somewhat unique.  "Golden Eagles" was uninspiring and "Lightning" was very XFL-ish.

Not again???!!!!!

The Warrior has been banished. He's too male, too belligerent and too non-PC for today's world. I'm surprised we still play basketball, as it is a contest and not a love-in. It unleashes emotions and causes us, at times, to have belligerent feelings about other groups of people (our opposition).

We needed to go to a Golden Eagle. The eagle elicits none of these feelings. She just preys on fish and other miscreant animals because she has not learned the joy of consuming vegetables, yet. She's a proud bird, which may result in problems with the PC crowd because we're not supposed to be prideful.


Anyone for a sparrow as a mascot?

Sucks that we ripped off their name/mascot.

I suppose the only thing that would make the situation worse is if Southern Miss changed their name to Warriors.

I might have shared this before, but my family may be the only one in the U.S. that has alums from three D1 schools whose nickname is the Golden Eagles. If I can only convince one of my nieces to go to Oral Roberts, we would have all of them covered.
Have some patience, FFS.

You spelled "passing away" wrong.

I've said it before and i'll say it again...i have friends who refer to MU grads as either Warriors or Golden Eagles depending on how the grad is perceived (Warrior > GE). 

As an '88 alum and Warrior i'm one year closer to moving on...

lol  Just conjuring up the prospect hurts.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

One thing I think some people don't understand.  It really wasn't just about the name.

It really was about a University administration that let not just the basketball program wither on the vine due to neglect, but also the University itself.  And then when Kevin O'Neill came in to resurrect the program, the past was almost white-washed away.  As if they were apologizing for something that didn't need to be apologized for.

It is not an understatement that the late 80s and early 90s were the darkest days in the University's history - the basketball was bad, enrollment was struggling, the neighborhood was closing in.  Raynor was a great man who stuck around too long.  DiUlio was a complete disaster.  The Golden Eagles debacle was the capstone on that putrid era. 

Due to Father Wild and his team, the University has grown from that time.  The basketball is good.  The academics are much better.  Student demand is great.  The Warrior name is the one mistake that hasn't been corrected.

Enlighten us.  I recall a video (perhaps earlier in this thread... I didn't check) posted by Chick showing a pretty bad ass golden eagle taking down (literally) some prey with malicious intent.

EDIT:  Ah ha... found it.

BTW - How has a student not CGI'd a badger or bulldog into this video by now?  All the hack videos out there, and nothing from our future of society?!?

Enjoy.  Be thankful.  And next time MU allows us to choose a mascot, let's have some fun with it.

Probably your best post.

Ahhhh...my era at Marquette.  And yours, too.  And Chicos.  And quite a few others on this board.  Amazing we still have fond memories of the university and remain engaged.
