The Complete Family Tree of College Mascots

[buckchuckler]

If not Warriors, then I like the Marquette Aliens

Just go Huns or Visigoths.  Warriors, Germanic (like much of Wisconsin) seems to fit. 

I think the Dominican Penguins is the best mascot on there.  Gives Jumpin Jesuits a run for sure. 

[AlienWarrior]

There are a couple of vulcan teams

[ChicosBailBonds]

Or, Illegal Aliens....er, Undocumented Immigrants.

The Associated Press and New York Times say we can't use those terms anymore.

The Marquette People Living in the Country Without the Proper Documentation!  Kicks ass!!

[Stronghold]

Still 13 names associated with Native Americans

[MUFlutieEffect]

How badass would it be if Marquette dropped a nickname altogether?

Not only unique, but pretty revolutionary to simply not have a mascot...

[keefe]

Since MU is in Milwaukee (and no one knows that), and MKE is famous for beer, how about a beer theme?

Amber Brewers
brew-ha-ha
brewskis
cervesa(s)
growlers
hops
lagers
liquid gold
sixers

Golden Nectar
Golden Flow
Golden Liquid
Golden Shower

[Balrogs]

You did see how many Warriors there are, right?

I love this poster. Pretty awesome. Although the D2 and D3 really crowds it up

Yes but unless I missed something, we were the only D1 warriors (not counting the Rainbows out in Hawaii)

I've got good news for you, Chicos - the NYT has no jurisdiction over what you can or cannot say.

[TheDOC816]

Golden Nectar
Golden Flow
Golden Liquid
Golden Shower

You know what a golden shower is correct? If not you probably want to edit that one out.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Apparently you haven't seen Keefe's videos of him on the receiving end.  If you want a copy, PM Dr Blackheart.

[Dawson Rental]

Why the feck can East Stroudsburg be the G.D. warriors but we can't?

The ghost of Willie Wampun. 

[klyrish]

Why? It could be said that we piss in our opponents' faces (most of the time).

[Dawson Rental]

For as long as Buzz is the coach, how about the Switchables?

[Ari Gold]

For as long as Buzz is the coach, how about the Switchables?

If not that then how about "Paint Touches" or just "Touches"

[Sunbelt15]

At least we're the powerhouse of the golden eagles.

I've been beating that drum for years. We chant "We Are Marquette", we all identify as Marquette, it means more than any mascot, whether Hilltopper, Golden Avalanche, Warrior, Golden Eagle, or Gold.

[LAMUfan]

The more I look at this, the more I wonder why we're bending over backwards to be sensitive to just one group of people.  Heck, I see a whole bunch of nicknames and categories that would be offensive to other people:

Scottish - "Fighting Scots" seems awfully stereotypical.  What... was "Ohio Valley College Greasy Italians" not available?
Irish - Same as the Scots
God-fearing Deacons - At least those who don't consider themselves Demons
Muslims - A picture of Mohammed gets you a death threat, but "Crusaders" is ok?
Liberals - Gettysburg Bullets and the Chaminade Silverswords?  Those things kill people! (note: Marian are the Sabres, as in the tiger, not the sword, so no protests in Fondy, please)
Women over 40 - Especially those single mothers who like to "visit" their son's friends at Houston, College of Charleston, and especially IU-Kokomo.
LGBT Activists - Lots of schools in the "Bears" and "Fire and Flame" categories.  Only one Otters, though.

Fantastic. just really

I could get behind this.  It's not the Warriors, but it beats some lameass nickname that everyone either ignores, hides, or refuses to recognize.

I bet we could come up with some really awesome cheers.

[LAMUfan]

but then the guy who wears the eagle costume will be out of a job.... lets be job creators here  

[mr.MUskie]

[ChicosBailBonds]

Coach Al in his office.

[Aughnanure]

If not that then how about "Paint Touches" or just "Touches"

Hmmm, that does have promise.

[Dr. Blackheart]

How the frack can MU steal the Native American sport but not their nickname?
