New Nickname?

[MUFlutieEffect]

Couldn't help but notice that the most recent article by Andy Katz referred to Marquette as the Warriors:

"The institutions that have been committed to men's basketball have made a decision that they are going to continue to stay committed to men's basketball," Marquette coach Buzz Williams said after the Warriors beat Savannah State in Milwaukee.

While this is certainly a simple lack of editing, it's difficult to not recall that the most recent change in conference alignment brought upon the now infamous "Gold" moniker.  That said, is the demise of the Big East and presumed formation of a new, basketball-centric conference the time for Marquette to seek out opinions on another name change?

Shouldn't this post be in teal?

[Warrior]

Let's take our nickname back (Warriors) to go along with all the other changes.

I'm cool if the nickname is something that 14 other schools don't also have. I'd be behind gold, warriors, hitoppers, jesuits, jumpin' jesuits, unnatural carnal knowledgein' scum suckers for all I care as long as its different.

Yep. Go back to Warriors, keep the eagle mascot and symbol.

Maybe we should also consider starting a Division IA football program!

Typo?

Who needs a nickname? Everyone calls us Marquette. We call ourselves Marquette. We are Marquette. We don't need no stinkin' mascot.

It's more likely that Dwyane Wade will return to Marquette and start at shooting guard while he completes his eligibility than Marquette returns to Warriors.

We should jump at any chance, slim as it might be, to right the ship and return to Warriors.

[4everwarriors]

I'm down with that.

Have the Johnnies return to Redmen, as well.

[Stretchdeltsig]

WARRIORS!!!

I concur.  However, given the well-noted reality that such a return is unlikely, I'd prefer something unique a la boyonthedock's comment.

So....there's a chance.

Typo?

Over the generic name birds? Yes.

[MU82]

The Blue, of course.

I wouldn't even re-open the nickname debate for fear that I would receive the letter from Pilarz, "many of you petitioned us to change the nickname back to a former nickname.  So we will be the Gold!"  Doh!

Do they get to wear the short shorts too?

Only the traditionals.

Rotate it between 4ever, ZFB, and PTM.

Either that, or LW can do it.
