Kolek planning to go pro
It's all pointless, but I maintain the best solution is to not have a mascot. We Are Marquette.If the pundits want to call us Marquette, or Warriors, or Golden Eagles, who cares? Just go with Marquette. It's what all the marketing already does anyway. The only thing we'd lose is an oversized walking bird at the games.
So, how are we more righteous and better people 'cause we have a PC, fooked up, nickname, hey?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I'm calling PETA! That'a animal abuse at its extreme. In fact I'm so upset the SKIN on my face is turning RED.
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.
Most days I think the kitsch of the Gold and bricky and all that would be preferable over the yawn inducing chicken hawk.
In keeping with the name variation of the NBA Champs, how about we become the Golden Eagle Warriors, keep the Eagle Mascot of course but in regular converstion MU teams become the Golden Warriors or better yet, just plain Warriors. This issue remains a sore point for us older alums and it ain't going away.
Well, it will go away when the last Warrior dies or is too old to remember the former name, leaving only Golden Eagles.I remember when they did the vote, I happened to run into Diener and asked him what he chose. "Golden Eagles," he said, matter-of-factly. "That's what we were when I was there, and that's what I know."
Kinda like rectal gas does, ai na?
"War Eagles". Tip of the hat to us oldsters, nod to the current name, and far, far less generic and uninspiring.
Nahh, people would just accuse us of ripping off Clemson.
