1103 ElizabethBlomberg-HerveyARGold is a HORRIBLE name and I will be ashamed of the Board if they go through with this.

1109 MichaelYelovichNo difference between BoT decision and Fr. DiUlio's---both extremely arrogant..nice process BoT, wat to thik it thruogh
1110 MeghanDuffyWhat a joke this whole thing has been. It is an embarrassement that our Board of Trustees was so completely off the mark on this decision. If the initial Golden Eagles change wasn't enough, they really put a nail in it with this latest fiascoe. Is anyone on the Board intouch with the MU community of alum or students at large? Apparently not.
1111 ArnieMayherOHUSTradition and beliefs are two of the values that a Jesuit education espouses. Neither tradiiion was followed nor the beliefs of alumni and students taken into account when this decision was made.

1113 lauraRedmanOHthis is an embarrassment. I am proud of our tradition at Marquette and this name does nothing to show who we are, where we come from or what we believe in as a MU community. I think it sounds like a Milwaukee microbrew.I hope the board can realize their mistake and admit it-that would show real decency!
1114 StephenRedmanOHUSThis has got to be the most idiotic thing the Board has ever done!

1120 ThomasLymanCAUSI actually have the old warrior logo (native american profile) tatooed on my arm. I will always be a Marquette Warrior. I do not like Golden Eagles and I hate Gold. We should have gone back to the Golden Avalanche. At least we have some history with that name.

1122 MarissaFleckWIUSI was greatly disappointed by the Board's decision to change the nickname to the Gold. I understand the need to be sensitive about the nickname Warriors. However, I wish that the Board had told members of the Marquette community that there were other choices. I am most disappointed in that my 10 month old daughter, who I intended to take to basketball games, on-campus events, and instill Marquette pride in, will inevitably turn to me in a few years and ask why I am proud of an entity that calls itself 'the Gold'.

1124 Stephen SwankUSNO TO GOLD
1125 ZachMroz
1126 KirkPelikanProcess was severely flawed. The Board of Trustees has again changed the name without the consent of the students, alums and fans. You're repeating the same mistake which put you in this position in the first place (the change to Golden Eagle was also flawed)
1127 JessicaFaginUS
1128 RobynKeulerGAUSAs an incoming freshman, I am disgusted with this decision. Why pass out a survey if you're just going to ignore it? Let's change it to the Marquette Laughingstocks instead. What a joke!

1136 GregoryGerminoWIUSGOLD?!?!?
1137 VictorMurillo
1138 SheldonFernandesWIUSWarriors or Golden Eagels

1140 jamesdiamondWIUSNo to Gold.

1143 MichaelPorembski The decision to approve the Gold as mascot of Marquette was a bad one, but it's not too late. Please take the steps necessary to restore Warrior-pride. While the Indian head can't come back (which I disagree with, but that ship has sailed), surely a marketing firm could come up with something representative of the university, students, & alumni. Please do the right thing, dump the Gold, and restore the Warrior.
1144 JohnCzajkaI (Engineering '68) am outraged by the decision to change the mane to "Gold". What PC crap s this? Don't call me for any more contributions. Go to the "tribal leaders" to finance the school with casino funds!
1145 KathyPatryloGold does not say enough. Read the definition of a warrior. It is all in the presentation. What about the Golden Warriors.
1146 ElizabethRoncke
1147 JosephSchumaker
1148 RebeccaHammockFLUS
1149 BrianGaudio"Gold" is neither creative nor inspiring. I am a Golden Eagle but would have liked to see a return to "Warriors." I'm not upset that they decided against it, but "Gold" is even more generic than Golden Eagles and is just unacceptable and embarrasing.
1150 markschillingWIUSchange the name back to MU Warriors (general, not native american)
