FTFY can't forget the process!

Warriors to Golden Eagles to Gold to Golden Eagles.

[Viper]

Warriors to Golden Eagles to Gold to Golden Eagles.

First Warrior ready to go! Pre-game vs Notre Dame '82 or '83

They should change it to Dentists

They should change it to Dentists

Given the rampant crime around campus we hear so much about, this fits.

[TallTitan34]

They should change it to Dentists

Thought we were trying to get less offensive.

[Scoop Snoop]

I'm still holding out for a return to warriors, but with an equestrian student dressed up as Joan of Arc astride a big horse, clad in chain mail and holding a lance when riding out onto the court. She would scare the crap out of opponents during timeouts. And if Cooley was afraid of a little bat, just think what would happen if a horse was bearing down on him. He'd have to rush back to the locker room and change his underwear.

[JakeBarnes]

MU has a proud history of changing its nickname.  Next year, after 30 years, we should change again.

Cannot wait until we change to the TikTokkers

Dentists attract the wrong element.

Dressed as St Joan of Arc?

Why not Lady Godiva?!

Still my favorite comic of all time after Calvin and Hobbes.  Bucky is so brilliantly written.  "As such..."

While entirely implausible and unrealistic, especially an indoor basketball arena, but a whole dramatic Medieval Times entrance with the horse riding around the corner after the lights drop, just before the introductions sounds INCREDIBLE.

Screw plausibility and realism. If we can get a basketball court made that can handle the horse, are you in?

I've always been a big fan of the St. Joan of Arc Warriors idea. Would have been a much better idea than switching to Golden Eagles (though I don't know if the world was ready for a female primary mascot yet). Unfortunately, they went with Golden Eagles. And Golden Eagles we will stay.

Marquette may not always been Golden Eagles, but Marquette will never return to Warriors.

Marquette Mopes.

1. Alliteration works in nicknames.

2. Mope Squad on Scoop would be happy they were thrown a bone.
