1001 RandyHansonWIUSThis is what happened at San Diego State: 1)The University took a poll of students and alumni 2)The University publicly announced the results of the poll 3)The University stood up to the forces of political correctness 4)The University abided by the wishes of students and alumni, and adopted a new, historically correct, Indian mascot

1003 PhilGellottKSI can NOT believe that GOLD is the new name for Marquette Athletics. Let the students decide. The board obviously can not.
1004 JohnHuckWIUSOnce again the arrogant administration has refused to listen to the wishes of the alumni and students. They will not get another dime from me.
1005 Michael Orr
1006 AnneKletzkerMOUS
1007 LynnSeymour
1008 David FarmerWIUSGold, are you kidding me?
1009 ChristianEichenlaubWIUSThis change is absolutely adsurd, and disrespectful to all the students who put months of effort into developing a coherent solution to the mascot dilemna.
1010 KristianKompareWIUS

1014 GiannaIacopinoUSHOW STUPID!
1015 DanYoung
1016 KristineShimon
1017 SarahLyonsILUSMy question is: If the school keeps changing the mascot how is there supposed to be any union between the Alumni and the currents students, if we all have different names?
1018 ThomasChadwickWORST NAME IN NCAA. IF THIS DOESN"T GET CHANGED I WILL TRANSFER SCHOOLS!
1019 TomLaCHanceMarquette Warriors all the way

1021 StefanDostanicWIUS

1024 AudraSulewskiWIUSFor the Board of Trustees to decide that Marquette needed a NEW name was completely disrespectful. We Should have a VOICE in this matter, we are now the laughing stocks of the Nation, the news has made fun of us, and most of all Dwayne Wade (who we call the best thing to come out of MU) is upset and cannot believe what our new name is.
1025 WilliamDemsharFLUSAbsolutly the worst!
1026 JenniferLeverenceSAY NO TO GOLD
1027 DavidIzquierdoUSI feel that student input should make a substancial influence on the school they should feel proud to attend. As a soon to be Alumnus I will be hesitant to donate to a school where the student voice is ignored.

1030 IsabelMartinezILUSI hate being called "gold". It is a color, not a mascot. What is the mascot going to be, a nugget? If you are not going to change the name back to Warriors, please leave it at Golden Eagles. Your point has been made.
1031 ChuckDemsharCoincidence that the student section was nick-named the "Goldrush"?
1032 patrickmcgrathFix this now!!!
1033 EmilioArechaederraCAUSThis is the lowest point of my association with the school. I hope someone petitions that the board be removed.
1034 KevinGallatinReturn to Golden Eagles if nothing else. This move is embarrassing and the trustees are not trustworthy.
1035 PatrickRiffel
1036 MichaelCerettoNo to Gold
1037 MichaelGallWYUSI think the administration misread the poll results. I bet the average students thought if they bashed the golden eagles, they'd get the warriors back. I don't think the student body dislikes the golden eagles that much. And isn't it possible to have non-indian Warrior?

1040 CourtneyBernThe school has lost all identity because of the P.C. whims of the board who are afread of stepping on any toes, and who have absolutely no creativity in their presence. As a grad student, I intend to refrain from giving further donations to a school that has demonstrated in many ways that is is careless and whimsical with its money and power. This is the latest in many antics that the university has played in which they have asked for input from the student body to look "understanding" and P.C., yet completely ignored the input and done their own thing. The only congratulations I can give is that that you have successfully pissed off the entire student body. Way to unite!
1041 KateMcLenaghanI am in a state of disbelief!
1042 DonKallmanUSI don't know what a "Gold" is...but I'd rather be a "Jumpin' Jesuit"
1043 KatePowers
1044 JasonDickeyWIUSThank you Jesuits!... For making it that much cooler to be an Eagle and Warrior.
1045 richruethUS
1046 BobArthurWIUS
1047 Alexde LeonUSAnything but the Gold!
1048 RyanGordon
1049 DavidSchaferUSI do not think that the name should be changed back to the Warriors, but the students need to have a more important role.
