Marquette chokes in the second round, and that’s OK
Despite the Warriors being ranked number two in the East (not sure why not the Midwest which is where Milwaukee is), I was confident the number nine Michigan State Spartans had a solid chance of winning. This is the university … Continue reading
Marquette Day 2023
Here’s a tradition I’m getting better at even though I never was and never will be a “patriot” for my alma mater‘s basketball team, the players are 90% spoiled assholes who all think they’ll make it to the NBA. I do … Continue reading
Well…SCOTUS has now reached peak irrelevance
It’s now official, the Minority Government in power hates women and poor people. This crap rationale of the most incredible verbal, philosophical yoga will be remembered when Amerikan Democracy went from dying to almost no pulse. I figured the country’s … Continue reading

Marquette v. UNC in round one…
Well, we looked good on paper being the number eight team against the number nine team in the tournament’s first round. So we were right in the middle and that meant the teams were supposed to be evenly matched. Hell, … Continue reading
Marquette Day 2022 was pretty cool
This year’s Marquette Day was celebrated at a place called Cover 2 along 183 up in North Austin. I had been there over a decade ago for a Stars event and the place was still a Hooters (ugh). Our opponent … Continue reading
A rare piece of merchandise of my alma mater
Scored this in Las Vegas and added it to my collection which already includes my pro teams, the Flyers and the Packers. I had to double check this item before I bought it since Marquette stupidly took the same colors … Continue reading
Special Chucks to celebrate my graduation! MU30, Part 1
Current events and exhaustion kept this mini-gallery from being posted along with its companion piece reminiscing about how it was merely 30 years ago I graduated from university. I stupidly missed the one-day Black Friday offer on the site so … Continue reading
1989: Hoser & Mag show debuts on WMUR
I think our show only lasted about seven to eight weeks before I bailed on José to finish up the semester. I’m guessing I quit for a couple reasons, one being the desire to sleep in on Sunday mornings and … Continue reading
Marquette radio/stream is actually listenable
I truly cannot even remember when I hunted it down to add it to my iTunes’ radio but most days Marquette’s stream plays music from this century unlike the attitudes when I attended. One major difference is that the DJs … Continue reading
Marquette Day 2017
Last evening was National Marquette Day and this year we were TV in the evening. We also celebrated at Pinballz Lake Creek which was my idea. The venue has a TV with cable, full bar and good food. I took … Continue reading
Marquette v. Wisconsin
We lost by nine points but at least we were a bit ahead at the half. Nice to see some other alumni but this group reside way up in Georgetown at a retirement village.
Farewell to McCormick Hall, aka the Beer Can
This is very old news to any living in Milwaukee and/or more into keeping up with Marquette events. I found out recently through the alumni magazine. All I had to say was “It’s about time!” McCormick Hall was so crappy … Continue reading
Addition to Marquette Day 2016
There we go. Best turn out for us in a while at the hidden away Geno’s East on Sixth Street…where you can get the genuine thing!
Marquette Day 2016
National Marquette Day for Austin was different this year. The nice coordinating lady Annette booked us to meet at the relatively new Geno’s East on Sixth Street. Nice. Southside Chicago-style deep-dish pizza without the chain-smoking, obnoxious accent and dictator who somehow … Continue reading
1990: Marquette graduation, the Marcotte version
Last month was the 25th anniversary of the Class of 1990’s graduation. No more games of three-man, no more papers and no more dorm-food dinners! Time to face the real world which in 1990 was during the Reagan-Bush Recession, the … Continue reading
