Marquette's new nickname ... the 'Gold'

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was there.
The highly anticipated announcement came from university president Robert A. Wild at a news conference at the Alumni Memorial Union.


"We live in a different era," Wild said in regard to the debate over whether to reinstate the Warriors nickname.

They sure do; the Diulio Era.


A May 2, 2005 "Dear Marquette Alumni and Friends" email said

The question before the Board is whether or not Marquette should reinstate Warriors as the athletics nickname going forward or whether we should honor it as part of our past history. In either case, we must and will choose a course that does not compromise our values and respect for the dignity of all members of our human family.

So what, to the board of trustees, upholds MU's values? Gold!


The paper also solicited suggestions for a new mascot. Mine

A golden calf. The cheerleaders can worship it during the half-time show.


I heard worse in freshman Theology.
