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.)

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.

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.

Post by: Class71 on August 03, 2020, 04:08:29 PM: 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.

Nachos are a terrible food

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!

Iggy the Eagle (Ignatius, founder of Jesuits)
Let this be the only proof you need that I'm always right.

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.

Post by: The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole on August 04, 2020, 11:33:53 AM: 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 would be a better name for Loyola’s mascot.

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