If it was ESPN they would have Photoshopped Ben Simmons's face over Butch Lee's.

Earlier today, I saw one of those articles designed to make us feel old that pointed out that high school freshman this year were born in 2002. This kind of stuff was bound to happen -- it's been 22 years since the name change. Interns at these networks have never known Marquette as anything but the Golden Eagles (just typing that breaks my heart). Sooner or later, the old names and imagery will fade away, despite our best efforts.

Just like it would have faded away if they'd left the name the same and merely changed the imagery.

Probably some young intern, who wasn't even alive at the time, did the graphics.

But let's all be outraged.

Would not be surprised. They think they own all sports.

Post by: DoggyDaddy on March 10, 2016, 04:44:50 PM: FS1 should run the pic again and someone like Raf, should make a correction on TV indicating the error and the correction as a trubute to Al and this team who won it all as the Marquette Warriors!
Another pic with the 1970 Warriors should run when this bunch wins the NIT!

Holding it down, son.

I also teach them the Johnnies are really the Redmen.

Not so fast. If there are winners, then there are losers, which is a hurtful, offensive phrase.

The enlightened terminology is "advanced to the position of highest ordinal value."
