Currently buying student tickets and there is an option to suggest a name for the student section. Finalists will be revealed and voted on in October. Suggestions?
-
The Golden Horde.
-
The MUtants.
-
What does the USU student section call themselves....maybe we can use that
-
The Aerie or Eagles Nest
-
It could be fun to call the section the golden Avalanche. I mean it's like a massive mountain of gold looking over the court.
-
Eagles nest or The Birdcage.
-
The Wigwam.
Or the Best Student Section in the Nation.

Dorkwads
or
Warriors

I like the Aerie actually. Golden Horde or Avalanche could be fun as well.
-
The sweater vests.
-
I think Golden Avalanche is perfect.
1) It ties into our current nickname with use of "Golden"
2) It ties into our past with our old football moniker
3) When 4,000 strong show up it does actually look like an Avalanche of Gold coming down from the rafters
4) It allows many of us the opportunity to think about the Avalanche Super Bar.

Great choice!

Very, very well done.

The Golden Horde.
How long do you think it would take some Badger Fan to change it to "The Golden Whored"?
-
The Flames -- after St. Joan of Arc Church, where they all go to pray (and ask forgiveness for what they did at the basketball game). As in "Up in Flames" Badgers.

Even better.

They named the student section when I was in school - think it was the 05-06 season -- anyone else remember that? I know Crean's Crew and Golden Avalanche were options, Golden Avalanche won and was announced as such ... for awhile. There didn't seem to be any plan or equity built into the name and it just faded away (obviously). Hopefully this time around there is a plan in place to keep it going.

The Golden Avalanche!

Jumping Jesuits FTW!

Haha, you're sooooo funny.

Yep, they called it the Gold Rush. They should not use that one again.

The Gramercy Riffs, just so we can play that clip from The Warriors.

Exactly this. There is no other acceptable name.
-
The Best Student Section in the Nation™
-
The Stewdent Section.
Now all we need is to fire Wojo and hire a coach named Stew.

And as a signature move, how about an actual golden avalanche? It would be a similar concept as The Wave, except it would start at the top row and cascade down to the front.

Yes!!! I've always thought that too, the top to bottom Avalanche wave. How has this not been put in place yet?

And have the Fanatics shirts be long-sleeved, so that all the arm motions would be part of the golden wave.

If we did anything half as cool as this "Parting of the Red Sea", we'd be in business:

Considering that people on TV won't see the student section, so they won't see a Golden Avalanche, if it's said on the air, the name won't make much sense.
So I like the Eagle's Nest and the Birdcage.
-
Wojo's Dojo.
My favorite one so far, even if it is in teal.

Sounds almost like a shower of gold raining down on you, thus my vote for "The Golden Shower"
Come on people....how long were you going to let this one hang out there...

Golden Shower?

Future Sweater Vests.

Murray, you can do better man, hey?
Not every day can be an "A" day, bro.

This is still my vote. It bridges present (Eagles) to past (Warriors). Plus it has its own built-in chant. I give you: The Birds of War

I really hope its nothing bird related at all.

I always liked tossing the paper after the first score. Maybe they could do the same thing...start at the top and toss all the way down. If they had yellow / goldenrod paper, that'd be best.
I think I may have finally found something to sponsor as an alumni.
-
I think they should repurpose the dice as boulders/snowballs that are gold. Give them to people in the top rafters and throw them down the entire crowd.
That would be a very funny golden avalanche. That drop from the balcony down to the lower level might cause some damage, though! Heh

I believe one of the previous administration's refused to allow any reference to the Avalanche because of its association with the former glorious watering hole.

Could we possibly sell the naming rights?

I really hope they don't go with Eagles's Nest. I mean, really? Eagles's?

Zizzo Group hard at work again :P

Our marketing folks seem clinically incapable of doing anything decently.

Remember, don't criticize any Eagle based options. We'd hate to hurt the young alums.

Does the intro change from "best student section in the land" to "best student section with the awesomest name in the land"....ya know, to be consistent

Wojo's Warriors would be sooooo good....

Too bad they couldn't simply rename the student section each game, ala lead in to David Letterman.
"From the City of Milwaukee, that's not just hops I smell" ...
and now...
...."we don't Jump Around, might spill our beer"...
it's the worlds greatest student section."
However, that may be too creative for us. That's for another school to be renowned for.
-
FYI, if they go with Eagle's nest are they prepared for the Hilter comparisons?
-
Goldmembers.
Very toit. Toit like a toiger.

But that reference is more than 20 years old. In the Marquette community we need to learn to "just let it go" and "move past that symbolism".
-

Nah, mock away. These names are terrible. Just don't mess with Goldy.
Wojo's Warriors, Al's Army, The Aerie. Much better names.
-

Now perhaps you understand why Warriors still mock the Golden Eagle. It's terrible.

It's clear that coming up with nicknames is not a strength of our University the past 22 years.
-

Nope, not at all. Its our school's mascot. And if one of the names in this contest wins and sticks for 22 years, it will be the name of our student section and shouldn't be mocked. What does mocking ourselves get us?

I'm not gay.

Clearly. But apparently you enjoy gay porn.

I doubt the Zizzo group had anything to do with this. My guess is that this was pretty much an athletics internal decision.

See, I don't like Wojo's Warriors. It shouldn't be tied to the coach.
That is why I thought Golden Avalanche was brilliant. Tied to our past. A non-controversial nickname. Reflect our primary school color. And provides a description of the students in gold shirts from the floor to the rafters (on a few nights.)
Like it or not, that is why "Grateful Red" is brilliant. It is unique. Ties to the University's "hippie" past (and present). Incorporates their color in a unique way. And let's you use all sorts of imagery that's fun.
Bird's Nest...Flight Zone...Marquette Maniacs are just cliches that could be applied to most schools. No originality. Nothing about them are unique.

I agree it shouldn't be tied to the coach unless its a past coach like McGuire. Look at the whole Paint Touches blog thing, they're sticking by it(which they should) but in 10 years it probably won't have any relevance.
I'd really like to see something go back to Hilltoppers for the student section....plus there could be some good King of the Hill (cartoon) tie ins.

Like Golden Avalanche as well. Grateful Red has zero connection with the vast majority of MU fans.

Grateful Red is UW's student section name. Sorry I should have been more clear. I was using it as a comparison.

The Aerie or Eagles Nest
I could give my vote to The Aerie, The Roost or simply The Nest.
Even 70 years after WWII, I don't like The Eagle's Nest for the Hitler association. It's the very first thing that comes to mind for me. "The Eagle's Nest" also isn't as simple or strong as the above three options. I hope Marquette avoids this one.

Pretty much sums up my feelings exactly. I think Wojo is great. But history shows us that it is a near certainty that he'll either leave Marquette for another program or be fired. Obviously, the first is much more likely. So, we shouldn't name the student section after him...unless, of course, we do so in 30 years in honor of his retirement.
Love Golden Avalanche. It seems so completely obvious to me for all the reasons you state. Which is why it'll never happen.
-
The scoop should pool together some money and have a giant banner printed off for the first few games for the students to unroll over them that says "the Golden Avalanche." Like at a soccer game.

To play devil's advocate but why do we need to 'name' our student section?

I'd chip in on a Golden Avalanche tifo as well. Connects to our history, has a nice link to the idea of a cascading wave of gold, and not something that will never be outdated.
