The road to the Final Four

Once again college basketball is upon us; the greatest time of year. A time where we all begin to wonder just how good Marquette will be this year. For this season it looks like there is the potential to rival the 2002-2003 season in success. This will only be fitting for all of us. We were one year to early to watch D-Wade, and most of us may be one year( or one semester) too late to watch Fitzy and the boys take us deep into the tourney again. It doesn't matter though as we are still fanatics and will probably have a better chance of making it to a tourney game or two.

Looking on ESPN i laughed at seeing the first segment of bracketology. However, it did get me excited seeing Marquette seeded as a No. 2, something that may not be too far off. My biggest concern is going into the season with much too high expectations. However, I think this year we have such solid talent to back this up. Our bench is deep as well. We have Acker, and Cubillan both backing up James. We also have Lazar who should really show his potential this season. The loss of Mbakwe is not that bad, since he would most likely have had a mediocre season as Lazar had. Now he has more time to get bigger and develop his game. Finally we have Fitz who will be reigning threes all day long( or atleast we can hope). 4 more days till season opener...I can't wait...

Phenomenom

It's here. The newest unexplainable phenomenom is back here once again. We've seen 'em all. From Nalgene Bottles to Live Strong Bracelets to North Face Jackets to Tennis Skirts and Goucho Pants. The latest and greatest fad is here with all of us on campus. Sadly, this may actually be the last great phenomenom I am able to experience here on campus, but I guess as George Harrison might say, "all things must pass". What I am talking of is the new fashion style of wearing the black tights/spandex pants. Now, we all know this began months back, but girls actually wore skirts or dresses over them which seemed presentable. Now it seems people are just wearing these tights. Since when did this pass for a pair of pants. I am not one to complain about this new style as it actually looks good on some girsl, but that was at a time when they wore dresses over these tights. Now, you can see girls walking around campus just in these tights. So, would it be ok for me to show up wearing a pair of spandex running shorts to class displaying the buldge between my legs? I think not. People might actually be apalled. Rob, I am sorry you are not able to experience this first hand, but I felt it was necessary to share this in order for you to still feel connected to campus.

Holla Atchya BOI!

A Growing Problem at MU

As Rob mentioned earlier, and as I think we can all agree, there may be a problem with the newest recruitment class here at Marquette. Just today I witnessed something of great concern via facebook. Brace yourself, as this is not easy to read...

Trevor Mbakwe states:
"Get off of facebook an do your hw"

Patrick Hazel replies:
"chill son, u gay lol u be on it more than me!!"


I can't decide which is more alarming to me. Is Mbakwe too serious and not focused enough on dunking and biddies?
Or, is Hazel simply "chilling and not being on it more than Mbakwe?"
Hopefully, Crean can replace study hall with another practice. That way we can all be a little more at ease.

Holla atcya BOI!

Serious problem at MU?

Now that I'm pretty much best friends with Trevor Mbwake and Pat Hazel (holla atcha boi Trevor!) on Facebook, anyway, you can learn a lot of things. In fact, it looks like the two were Facebooking each other, during study hall, which is against the rules. I think this is a very serious problem. I'm almost speechless with anger, but I will let it out: What are these two doing in study hall!?!!? I'm sorry, but I don't think anyone improved their vertical or free throw shooting by learning about George Washington or whatever the hell they're doing over there. In this post, I promise to do their homework for them, so they can hi the floor of the Al a little more often. Hey, everyone can be good at academics, but not everyone can dunk a basketball. Let's get our priorities straight.

Thoughts?

First of all I would like to say that about 3 minutes ago I passed nearly the entire Basketball team. Is it sad that I still get excited even when I see them on campus? I mean, c'mon I am close to 3 years older than most of them! Either way it not only shows that they are being studious, but also proves they are not always banging biddies as we all like to think. The actual point of this blog was to discuss a possible time to visit Osh-gosh WI. I was looking at the NFL schedule and not until week 4 do the bears and Pack play at the same time.( which is what we were hoping for so we could watch the games in some townie bar at the same time.) This coming sunday the Pack plays at noon and the bears play at 3:15. Both games should be broadcasted because they are at different times and on different networks.

I deally I think the best time to go would be when they play eachother, but I have the marathon that day so that would not be the best time. For me, I would be down with this upcoming weekend, as classes have not really picked up with tests and homework yet. Maybe we can hit the bars and biddies after Rab gets off work on Saturday night andf then watch some excellent NFL action on Sunday.

What is everyone's thoughts? Any other suggestions?
Holla attchya BOI!!!
