Are you a Warrior or a Golden Eagle?

[mug644]

Based on the discussion in the New MU Court thread (https://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=65114.msg1579973;topicseen#new), I thought it would be interesting to count how many Warriors and Golden Eagles there are on MU Scoop. Count yourself!

FYI, the years are from here: https://www.marquette.edu/library/archives/uafaq-nicknamesmascotslist.php

[Shooter McGavin]

Warrior.  I'm old.

I assume you are a Hilltopper.

[Scoop Snoop]

Marquette fan through and through first, a Warrior second. I think since we are the Golden Eagles, like it or not, MU could do a much better job with graphics, maybe a la the Kansas Jayhawk or at least a creative, stylized graphic rendition of a GE. I'm glad we do not have a mascot like Cal Tech- the Anteaters.

LOL

I am old enough to have watched that show, but, truth be told, I have never seen it. I've just seen the sunglass memes.

Hell, I'm old enough to have watched Miami Vice.

[tower912]

You and me both.   Friday night staple before hitting the bars.

[Viper]

Warrior. Forever a Warrior. Don't even own any Golden Eagle swag.

100%

[Jay Bee]

LAST of the Warriors

[The Sultan]

Warriors. But have grown not to care all that much about my alma mater's nickname.

[Skatastrophy]

MUScoop being filled with literal Boomers explains a lot

[Coleman]

Scoop is dominated by Boomers lol.

[Hards Alumni]

LAST of the Warriors

Ah, so it's your fault?

Wouldn't Warriors also be GenX? i think the oldest millenials were high school class of 2000 or 1999 iirc.

Yes. The majority of Gen X Marquette alumni would have been Warriors.

[brewcity77]

I'm a Golden Eagle, but speaking to Gen X, it's probably evenly split between Warriors, Golden Eagles, and the combination. Any Gen X born from 1965-71 are likely Warriors, 1972-75 are War Eagles, and 1976 or later are Golden Eagles. There will be some outliers, but probably about a 40/25/35 split or so.

[Dr. Blackheart]

No Chief White Buck fans?

I was at my grandson's cross-country meet, and I notice one of the schools was still using warriors.
I wanted to buy one of their shirts.

Hey, if you want a HS t-shirt with "Warriors" on it (and "Jesuit" as well), I can hook you up. Although they did recently move away from the Native American imagery.

[MU82]

One of my poker buddies graduated in 1996, so half his time at Marquette he was a Warrior, and the other half he was a Golden Eagle.

Warrior here. Because I'm a bajillion years old.

Some of us from that time frame were Warriors the entire time, hey.

I still recall "the vote" we were "allowed" to make. I will try to keep the memories from getting me riled up. Or maybe I'll just cheer for Southern Indiana only this year bc they have one of our AAU kids on the roster
