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

Marquette Day 2015
Villanova pretty much had the game under control after five minutes, or at least it’s when I recall tuning out. I mainly attend these things just to see how many of us exist around here. Most Texans only recall my alma mater when … Continue reading
Four great amusements from 1989 is the header
This month’s header is the big tribute to the Summer of 1989, the best Summer I ever had in college. All the lessons I learned and mistakes I made in 1988 were perfected to make 1989 not suck. I did … Continue reading

Marquette Day 2014 in Austin
The annual tradition was upheld as the baton has been passed from the former local organizer Chris to Annette recently. Chris is in the process of moving to Chicago, poor guy especially with the brutal winter happening. Annette did a … Continue reading

1989: My afternoon and evening with Mojo Nixon
Days like this one 20 years ago always makes me regret not being more of a shutterbug but back then cameras were just such a nuisance: the film, the delays to develop and worst of all, not knowing how well … Continue reading
