Marquette Golden Eagles? Warriors? ... No ...
Marquette's teams will now be known as the Gold.
:yack::yack::yack: :yack::yack::yack: :yack::yack::yack: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/marq/may05/323576.asp Apparently, they thought they were offending the birds, which is almost as crazy as saying Warriors = Indians. The newspaper is running a poll on the new name, and it's 92% against. |
What the fuck are the "Gold"? :scratch2:
|
I think they should just change it to 'Bling' and be done with it.
|
:wtf:
|
Oh brother. Al McGwire is spinning in his grave.

:lol:
And their fans were all excited about maybe going back to the Warriors Love this pic from this morning. The WTF look on that girls face is priceless http://graphics.jsonline.com/graphic...tudents504.jpg |

Thanks for the pic, MrX.
rotfl If I was an alumni who regularly donated to the school, I wouldn't give them another cent. |

That's like Illinois's previous chancellor who worked with the anti-chief groups to try and dump the chief at UI. Eventually she was run out and is at Syracuse now.
She's such a bitter bitch about the whole thing she was said she would be wearing light blue the day of the Carolina/Illinois game for the NCAA Championship games. |
:lol:
that just sucks |
Gold? rotfl move over Syracuse Orange, another team has a more lame name now.

some of these macot suggestions are hilarious
A can of paint. Then the mascot could run around waving his paint brush at the opponents in a threatening way. Or maybe a graffitti artist. Spray paint may be more intimidating. - Len, Greendale, WI I think SpongeBob would make a great mascot, with a few $$ Gold Chains around his neck. What a great idea!!!...??? - "GOLD", MKE, WI How about a picture of an alumni becoming a Badgers fan? - Jim Carney, Austin, TX The Trustees could dress up like miners and they would be known as the Gold Diggers - Roz F, Milwaukee, WI The Golden Calf (lol) - Jesus Christ, Heaven, Wi |
How about a picture of an alumni becoming a Badgers fan? |
Maybe they're tying to fit in to become an Ivy League member. Those schools love color nicknames
|
i wanna meet the 8% who think that the "gold" is a good name.

It's up to 94.3% against now.
Stooooooooopid name. |
Here's Dwayne Wade's reaction to the name change:
ESPN: Your alma mater, Marquette, changed their nickname to the Gold. What do you think of that? Wade: To the what? ESPN: To the Gold. The Marquette Gold. That's what they're going with now. Wade: Oh I gotta call. I gotta call in on that one. I don't know how that sounds. ESPN: We're breaking some news here? Wade: I heard they was trying to change it back to Warriors. ESPN: No I guess they're going with Gold. I'm surprised they didn't call you to check if it was okay with you. Wade: The Gold? No I'm gonna make a phone call to to Marquette after we get off this. I don't know about that one. ESPN: So that might change. Wade: The Gold? The Marquette Gold? ESPN: All right Dwyane, so far so good, and I know your word carries a lot of weight at Marquette as well as Miami, so congratulations. Enjoy the rest of the playoffs. Wade: Thank you I will. The Gold? |
:lol:
Now get on the phone, Dwyane, every sane sports fan on the planet is counting on you. |
