MU #18 in Dookie V's preseason rankings

[Hards Alumni]

No need to apologize for being jerky, you tend to be terse and condescending frequently.  I thought if you could give, you should be able to receive.

Your initial comment sure gave the impression that "Go Big Red" is the cheer.  Further, your response to mine sure dismissed the "Let's Go Red" as the chant by your commments of "...I think I know what they chant."  Well, as my links have  demonstrated, combined with Sultan's comments, no that is not the cheer.  Has not been for 20 years or so.  All I stated was that the cheer is "Let's Go Red", which brought your typical condescending hardness response of "As the son of two Badgers, and living 15 minutes from Camp Randall, I think I know what they chant."  Well, you may have known what they used to chant, but apparently you do not know what they do chant.  

If you knew that "Let's Go Red" is the chant, you certainly could have simply stated that that is the current version and "Go Big Red" was the old version.  Certainly would have been the simplier, less caustic approach, no?

Anyway, to avoid a chico's like thread, feel free to respond with another condescending and dismissive retort.  I am through with this.

Cool story bro.  You read into stuff more than most girls I know.

How's that?

That said, I'm willing to just drop this and say you are more right than me.

I thought I was going to be reading about Marquette's preseason ranking and maybe where people thought they stacked up this year.  Needless to say I was dissappointed when I realized it was two Marquette fans bickering about gay Wisconsin cheers.

Thanks for adding the thread postively as well... the homophobic remark was the icing.

I'm just happy that someone was able to one up me.

Ok ok ok ... I'm thrilled with the ranking because every ranking makes it more likely MU will be in the ESPN top 25.  This means all my friends in sec country will catch our highlights in between the 6 hours of dissecting the vandy v Kentucky game and assuring me that either of them would go 9-0 in any other conference (even in years in which they are 2-3 against other conferences.

Glad vitale is finally on board! If even he jinks we are good, then we will get everyone else.

While I do respect a good pun, I disagree. I was a freshman when they changed the name. There was almost a riot. However, I did see someone wearing a shirt that had a golden calf on it with the marquee reading, "Gold. The Jesuits Idolize it." that was a sweet shirt, but a turrible name change.

Also, when I was there, we had a vote on the name. I personally voted for the Jumping Jesuits. (also, I think the election was fixed, as most people I spoke to said that they did not vote for Golden Eagles, but thats just my opinion.)

Ummmmm.............I didn't think I needed to use teal!  I apologize if you thought I was seriously suggesting that Gold was a good choice for nickname.  By the way, as a proud alumni, I suggested 'Screamin' Heifers' as the replacement for Warriors, but apparently that was not acceptable.

You guys are all wrong

The current chant is

"Eat Sh*t............F*ck You

I was at least hoping you weren't being serious, but on this site, you can never be sure

I was good with "Jumping Jesuits".  Even wrote a letter to Buck Raynor saying so.  He forwarded to Cords, who wrote a reply stating I should be ashamed.  Really.  Not kidding.

Given the amount of times I've heard "I liked 'Jumping Jesuits' in the recent years, I suspect it was indeed the winning entry, but the contest was fixed.

The only part of that contest that was rigged was when they told people not to write-in "Warriors" because those votes wouldn't be counted, thus discouraging pro-Warrior alums from voting...and then they counted the "Warriors" votes and presented it as data proving that alums don't want the name back.

Now that I think about it, perhaps if MU had upgraded their PR department after that debacle, they would have been better prepared to deal with the "real" issues the university recently ran into.

The "Fighting Armadillos" was also one that could not be used. I was upset about that

I am confused. Father DiUlio changed the name in 1993-4, (as you say, when you were a freshman), but the name polls and votes were during 2004-5....were you in school for a ten year period, or is the "vote", you reference some lesser known name vote closer to 1994, ie when you were there?

DiUlio ran a campus wide poll to see what nickname the students wanted, then after months of counting votes - during the summer the Administration proclaimed that Golden Eagles had won.

He's referring to the name-change to Gold...

The write-in Warriors votes, indeed, were not counted.  However, the contest was fixed.  The bookstore received an enormous shipment of Golden Chicken (I still can't bring myself to say it) clothing and paraphernalia before the voting was conducted.

The Warriors write-in were most definitely counted and that number was released and showed the lack of support by alums.
