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

Great call on the U12.

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

Do either Golden Eagles or Grizzlies reside in Utah?

Golden Eagles apparently do. Just learned that.

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

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

byuwahoo

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.

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

dYrtbYkerYder

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.
