Chick and I were there.  Pretty standard fare including Wojo's normal comments.  My only concern was watching our guys play volleyball for fun against the Women's VB team.  Please be careful out there Henry.  We don't need a slip and fall injury.  Also that Steve Novak's cute little girl has a great seat on daddy's shoulders for the festivities.

Not as good as Jimmy Mac's daughter.

Also, (just so I can get the rumors flying), I noticed that Big Fishy was MIA.

For whatever reason, Wojo is huge on legacy players.

He had a meet and greet with them before the picnic.  We were told about 50 showed up.

I had to miss it, so any comments are appreciated. 

Did they serve hot dogs and hamburgers this year?

Nope, we are back to Bubb's BBQ.

Had some of the family down there and thought the turnout was smaller this year than last year. Think the weather might have scared some folks off. Nice event and nice group of kids. Had my two young nephews there and the team were extremely nice to them.

They had chicken, brats, barbecue and hot dogs.  Also baked beans, pasta salad and potato salad.  Very good.

Buzz actually did this as well.  Sounds like about the same turnout.  I understand Wojo calls them 'ambassadors'.

The food was as average as it has been in the past.  It seems for year #1 they went way over board on great food and then realized they would get about the same turnout with average picnic fare.  Seemed to be a little less games than years past (I have 3 kids so I noticed this stuff).  Staff, current and former players all very accommodating in taking pictures with kids etc.  It's a really cool event that I hope MU continues to do.  Turnout was a little light but as mentioned, storms were expected but never showed up.

The only thing I know about Bubb's BBQ is that asinine commercial they run during Marquette radio broadcasts. They really need to change that.

The fanny pack is Greg "Pope" Johnson. In that picture is O Ball, Ric Cobb and Artie, I think.

I don't know, but if the Pope was ever confused and lost, I think he'd be found quickly!  That is one man that standout in a crowd.

How was the sound quality?   Could you hear everything WoJo said?  What about the questions that were asked?
