What to name the Marquette Student section?

A few weeks back, we were tipped off that students buying basketball season tickets were asked to submit new names for the student section. The current unnamed unit is typically referred to as "The Best Student Section in the Country" at tip-off, a generally hyperbolous statement made comical when there are at most 150 kids [...]

Not great options but anything is better than the Bird Cage or some other such nonsense that plays off the super chicken.

Either they're begun admitting the least creative students possible, or they didn't even look at their ideas.

I didn't read the other thread on this topic.  Was The Wigwam (tm) suggested?

Let's take a vertical shot of the marquette interchange, make it a symbol, and call them the student section that formally cared.

Still down with Campus Copulators, hey?

Bad.

X-Warriors!

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Those choices are awful.

[Dawson Rental]

This really has to be a thing that has to happen naturally, right?  Marquette already tried once in the last 10 years to stick a name on it, and it didn't work.  Eventually, there will be a creative and interesting name for the section that pops up, but if you have to work at figuring one out, it's really not worth it.

How do you formally care?  Do you have to come in black tie?  Or is a mere suit acceptable.

That name is the Golden Avalanche.

Armarquetten is actually pretty good. I like that.
