The "floor" team names are Golden Eagles or Grizzlies, if you can't top those...

Tygger

3:02pm

Great call on the U12.

777

3:05pm

I like the Golden Eagles for the history. Would be happy with that.

Eddie

3:07pm

Can't go "Golden Eagles" when there's already a "Golden Knights"? Non-starter

eysikal

3:11pm

You do realize that Knights are different than Eagles, right?

Eddie

3:16pm

The Golden Eagles name dates back to 1969. That trumps the slight inconvenience.

CaliWG

So, here's the thing...

Tesla Coug

3:09pm

Do either Golden Eagles or Grizzlies reside in Utah?

fattycoug

Golden Eagles apparently do. Just learned that.

CaliWG

3:19pm

I came within inches of hitting a golden eagle with my car just north

2ndTrombone

3:27pm

Golden Eagles absolutely, Grizzlies use to but development has pushed them north

Tygger

3:30pm

The Caps have an eagle on one retro jersey and their mascot is an eagle. So,

byuwahoo

3:14pm

come to think of it, 2 of the 4 Caps logos are eagles, so Eagles are a no go for

byuwahoo

3:20pm

I'll be honest. I think "Golden Eagles" is boring and generic. I’ve seen several names I think generate a lot more buzz.

RdF3

3:18pm

Agreed. I've come around to the idea that Golden Eagles would be a home run.

CaliWG

3:18pm

Golden eagles is a horrible name. It shouldn’t even be mentioned as an option.

Hawk in the 303

Sounds like they inflated the grade base on the school's hiring restrictions

cougarfan84

3:01pm

Which is the right approach. These decisions aren't made in a vacuum. It's like

Right. This was a home run hire for BYU based on who was reasonably an option

BYUJoJo

Nice to have one that goes beyond, "hey, these former NBA players turned CBKB

dYrtbYkerYder

3:04pm

That's funny. Sports Illustrated rates KY as a C- hire and Pope as an A hire.

BYUMizzou

3:09pm

That one had a stupid reason for BYU's C- though.

dYrtbYkerYder

3:10pm

also true

BYUMizzou

They have Pope as B.
