Gold?!!

Does anyone else think that this is lame?

Either bring back the Warriors without the native American mascot or keep the Golden Eagles (after a couple of years, it grew on me). Not this. This sucks.

Thanks for saving me a post on my weblog Chuck. I heard about that on the radio this morning and totally agree with you.

And how are they going to announce them when a team takes the floor? “Here come your Marquette The Gold!!” English majors at Marquette revolt!!

All I can think about is tortilla chips right now.

It sounds like a low-caffeine soda.

And Chuck, the proper term is “injun”.

When someone told me about this last night, I thought “is joke from old”.

No such luck.

Laughing-stocks of the Big East.

It’s the worst ever. They just want to be like the real “GOLD” of the UWM Panther Nation. Milwaukee’s true college basketball fans

I liked Dwyane Wade’s reaction to the name change. In case you missed it, here’s a link. http://www.jsonline.com/sports/marq/may05/323993.asp
