Soooo what will the name be?
-
It better not be Al or Alfred or something similar.
-
Goldy or Goldie?
-
Diener.

Just when you thought we had hit bottom mascot/nickname wise.

I disagree. Every mascot needs a name. In fact, it's suprising that it already doesn't.
Buzz the Eagle is my choice. (It would be more appropriate for a bald eagle, but alas.)
-
Kudos to the Athletic Dept for giving me an entire weekend to build my faux outrage on whatever the choice is to appropriate levels.

This is what I came to post.
Since it's pronounced "Jock", it works on a couple of levels.

I thought you lost your mascot privileges!

Also please, nothing to do with Al.
There is already plenty of branding that ties back to him.

I am trying to redeem myself.

Sounds, "dumb"
Why not, "Marq"... plus then they could have a female mascot named Marquette!

That would be a little patronizing.

That'd be amazing except for him being a huge racist who nearly killed a guy for being Asian (I think Vietnamese?)

Welp.
-

Agreed, but it would be kind of neat to have the mascot be female either way.
-
Apollo. As in the eagle has landed and tie into us retiring the number 11.
I like Jacques personally. If you wanted to tie it to a Marquette person, Hank would be a good one. Especially because he did so much for sports other than basketball.

Of all the suggestions so far, Jacques has grown on me the most.

Nope. Sounds like a white male.

SCREECH!
Do eagles actually screech? Although, that sounds more like an owl's name.
A lot of Victor E. out there.
-
How about Gym, or Lanch, or Ard?
-
Talon? It will most likely be something gender neutral and kid friendly.

The Washington Nationals mascot is an eagle named Screech, already.
The Mascot should be named Joan.
Actually, we should be known as the Warriors and have Joan of Arc as our mascot, but without that, we should name the bird Joan.

How about Willie, as the descendant of another Marquette mascot.

LMU's lion is Iggy so we're late on that one.
I like the suggestions for Jacques. But, having the #77 jersey on makes me think it's related to Al.

I’m surprised you’re not holding a grudge after she lured a 15 year old employee of yours away from Mar-a-Largo.

Originality isn’t much of a concern when it comes to our nickname/mascot.

Pays homage to that one week when Marquette was the Gold and phonetically sounds like our current nickname.

This would only be complete if the “N” stood for Niv.

Because that was a time in MUBB history that we want to memorialize.

Wasn’t that the name of the mascot (just not well publicized) in the 90’s and 2000’s.
Too close with Nova’s Will D. Cat.

Iggy the Eagle has a nice ring to it. It will be interesting to see how they market this. Will be fun for the kids.
Bucky is such a staple in this state and used a ton in their marketing. I don’t think we will ever get near that point due to the change from Warriors and Golden Eagles is kind of blah.

I like it, but of course, I hear it first from a coworker who named LMU's mascot Iggy a number of years ago when she was their director of marketing.

I’m sorry. That must have been very challenging for you...
-
Would have liked to see something more Marquette-centric.
Iggy is just very Jesuit-generic. Its not bad. There are just already 3 Loyola schools that make more sense to have a mascot named Iggy.
-
I like it!
Good job MU!
We are a Jesuit School. Makes sense to have a Jesuit theme to the mascot

They spelled Arby's wrong.

I’m kind of surprised in the press release, they named the other Jesuit schools with that nickname. Sort of showing how common it is and not all that original.
-

It'll only take a couple of days for them to notice and fix it.
Remember that brief period when they thought our nickname was spelled "Gold?"

The pronghorn just had Arby's.
-
Anything with Gold reinforces a poor selection of a Golden Eagle mascot.
How about "BEAST" so the mascot can go into "BEAST MODE" when we need it from our fans and team.
A better mascot would be "BIG FOOT" or another BEAST that goes into "BEAST MODE" at critical stages in the game. We want to project extreme strength, not a bird that has been known to eat carrion meat in the winter.

St. Ignatius was Spanish. The Spanish version of Ignatius is Ignacio. Marquette is trying to diversify.
They missed a big opportunity by not giving the mascot the nickname for Ignacio
All Hail Nacho the Eagle!

In 8th grade Spanish we each had to pick a name to be called in that class. I picked Nacho.

Nachos at the ballpark where I can evenly dip each chip to the amount that I want? Perfect
Nachos at a bar where ingredients are haphazardly piled on a pile of chips so each bite is uneven and impossible to get a decent mouthful and are surely left with chips with no toppings at the end? Awful
It's like when you get a poorly made/mixed burrito and your bite is all rice or lettuce or salsa

I actually agree with you to an extent. An order of nachos at a restaurant that does it right is great, but some places just don't do a good job of making the nachos. I'd rather have just some tortilla chips and a quality nacho cheese to dip them in over the latter.
-
If you're in Chicago, Tuco & Blondie on Southport puts all the toppings on each individual chip. They call it the Holy Grail Nachos.
-
To be clear, the nachos I ate last night were homemade.
Here is a hint for great shredded chicken for nachos. You know those grocery rotisserie chickens I raved about earlier? Oftentimes the stores will debone the leftovers, package and sell them. Just heat that sucker up with a jar of ChiChis hot and chuncky salsa, and you have perfect shredded chicken.
No more than ten minutes tops.

Iggy it is. I have a friend named Ignacio. When we were kids, his nickname was Iggy. His family is from Argentina.

I have to go with Mellow Yellow.
Donovan Leitch would appreciate that.

Yes, but Loyola’s Iggy couldn’t hold our Iggy’s Jacques strap.
