Yep, Golden Eagles made the list. So did Blue and Gold, for those who felt Gold wasn't inclusive enough. I'm surprised Golden Knights made the list, too Crusaderish. Saints will no doubt be offensive to the Muslims and Atheists attending nominally Catholic (well, Jesuit) Marquette.
I now give you the top ten preferred list of of alumni, faculty and students of Marquette:
Warriors

Just from an aesthetic point of view, I like the name Warriors, too. Do you think the administration would ever go for it?
By the way, over at the Journal Sentinel they're running another online poll asking,
Do you like any of the 10 proposed Marquette nick-names or would you prefer something else?So far anything else (i.e. Warriors) is winning 60.5% to 39.5%, but the poll is still young.
Update! 6:37am Mark Belling of WISN Radio has his own poll up, and it includes the Warriors.
