Diener and Wade Against "GOLD"
Last night Travis Diener stopped by our protest, took the bullhorn and said, "NO GOLD! NO GOLD!"
Now this from D. Wade:
UPDATE: BELOW IS A MORE ACCURATE TRANSCRIPT THAN THE ONE POSTED EARLIER
ESPN News just had an interview with Wade, who apparently had not heard of the change:
ESPN: Your alma mater, Marquette, they've changed their nickname to the Gold. What do you think of that?
Wade: To that what?
ESPN: To the Gold. The Marquette Gold. That's what they're going with now.
Wade: [Pause. Furrows his brow.] Oh I gotta call. I gotta call in on that one. I don't know how that sounds.
ESPN: We're breaking some news here?
Wade: I heard they was trying to change it back to Warriors.
ESPN: No I guess they're going with Gold. I'm surprised they didn't call you to check if it was okay with you.
Wade: [Squints. Incredulous.] The Gold? [Beat.] No I'm gonna make a phone call to to Marquette after we get off this. [Laughs] I don't know about that one.
ESPN: So that might change.
Wade: The Gold? The Marquette Gold?
ESPN: All right Dwyane, so far so good, and I know your word carries a lot of weight at Marquette as well as Miami, so congratulations. Enjoy the rest of the playoffs.
Wade: Thank you I will. [Looks off camera and says to someone] The Gold?
