JohnBoy Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Despite its long (one week) and hallowed tradition, Marquette is now looking for a new nickname. "Gold" is gone. http://www.jsonline.com/sports/marq/may05/325271.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and Won Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Couldn't they have just realized that the nickname was ridiculous BEFORE they chose it and released it to the public? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenbooster Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Maybe it's like the 'New Coke'/'Old Coke' thing. Golden Eagles won't sit so badly with those up there that didn't like it, cause it's still better than the ....'GOLD'. mhg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
