How about a girl name.

Ghislaine The Golden Eagle Call her GiGi for short

I’m surprised you’re not holding a grudge after she lured a 15 year old employee of yours away from Mar-a-Largo.

No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

Buffalo Bulls already use Victor E. Bull for their mascot

Originality isn’t much of a concern when it comes to our nickname/mascot.

Gold for short.

Pays homage to that one week when Marquette was the Gold and phonetically sounds like our current nickname.

Because that was a time in MUBB history that we want to memorialize.

Wasn’t that the name of the mascot (just not well publicized) in the 90’s and 2000’s.

Too close with Nova’s Will D. Cat.

Iggy the Eagle has a nice ring to it. It will be interesting to see how they market this. Will be fun for the kids.

Bucky is such a staple in this state and used a ton in their marketing. I don’t think we will ever get near that point due to the change from Warriors and Golden Eagles is kind of blah.

I like it, but of course, I hear it first from a coworker who named LMU's mascot Iggy a number of years ago when she was their director of marketing.

Would have liked to see something more Marquette-centric.

Iggy is just very Jesuit-generic. Its not bad. There are just already 3 Loyola schools that make more sense to have a mascot named Iggy.

Good job MU!

We are a Jesuit School. Makes sense to have a Jesuit theme to the mascot

I’m kind of surprised in the press release, they named the other Jesuit schools with that nickname. Sort of showing how common it is and not all that original.

They spelled Arby's wrong.

It'll only take a couple of days for them to notice and fix it.

Remember that brief period when they thought our nickname was spelled "Gold?"

Anything with Gold reinforces a poor selection of a Golden Eagle mascot.

How about "BEAST" so the mascot can go into "BEAST MODE" when we need it from our fans and team.

A better mascot would be "BIG FOOT" or another BEAST that goes into "BEAST MODE" at critical stages in the game. We want to project extreme strength, not a bird that has been known to eat carrion meat in the winter.

St. Ignatius was Spanish. The Spanish version of Ignatius is Ignacio. Marquette is trying to diversify.

They missed a big opportunity by not giving the mascot the nickname for Ignacio
