That would be insensitive to wolves.  We can't be having that.

If the CNN special doesn't get us any PR, maybe thechive.com will.  Front page posting...

Gold was Crean's idea. You don't hire a PR firm to come up with something like that.

With that said, Gold is better than our current name. I've actually been thinking of this lately. I recall somebody at the time suggested the McGuires and, short of changing back to Warriors, I think that wouldve been great.

Do you have proof for your claim?  That is disputed in several areas.  You are entitled to your opinions, but not to facts you make up

Zizzo Group came up with it.  http://zizzogroup.com/


Anne Zizzo, member of the Board of Trustees at Marquette University.


"But would Marquette remain the Golden Eagles, or something entirely new? Board member Ann Zizzo, of the Zizzo Group,  and her team landed on the “Gold”. The Marquette Gold. Really? But then again, the Zizzo Group also suggested we name the 27th Street Corridor “Boomgard”."

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know kentucky's graduation rate?

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know kentucky's graduation rate?

Their APR this year was tops in the SEC tied with Vanderbilt.  That might be a better way to analyze them because they have so many kids that go pro.  The APR doesn't penalize a school for a kid going pro as long as they finish out the semester of work they are there while playing.

That is one reason I don't think UK is cheating, at least not anymore.  Caliprari has such a brand with the top players that they come knowing they are one and done.  He doesn't need to cheat to get those kids anymore.  Not now.  Maybe in the past he or his boosters did, but not now.

I could see Golden Showers.

Sorry boys. It's not The Gold, it's not The Golden Eagles (and that stupid chicken).  Or anything else.

MARQUETTE WARRIORS.

Any questions?

It's also an added benefit for the one-and-dones that they can go back to school and finish the semester, have Cal invite some NBA scouts to school a couple times, and the trip's worthwhile for the scouts since they can watch four or five prospects including some lottery picks.  No need for Davis and Kidd-Gilchrist to run around playing in extra games and camps.  Good players at the majority of schools (MU included) have to make the difficult decision of quitting school to put in the extra work to get noticed or try to balance both - they aren't sure-fire lottery picks and inviting NBA scouts to Milwaukee to come see two likely second rounders isn't appealing.  So in an unfortunate way the system actually gives Kentucky an added advantage.
