No. I have never watched gay porn.

I should say that I had just gotten out of the icy cold waters of the Sound so there was considerable shrinkage going on. Very considerable shrinkage.

On the plain white Ts thing.  Was it that Wojo made the team wear plain white Ts or did he make them listen to The Plain White Ts until they swore to play better, if he would just stop.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

1. My wife and children.   Far luckier than I deserve.
2.  A job that rewards and challenges me; the opportunity to do truly amazing things and help people on their worst day.
3.  Living in a country where I am free to engage in ultimately pointless debates that don't actually change opinions. 
4.  The sensation of perfect impact on a golf ball, knowing it is going exactly where you pictured it.  A corollary, that all too rare sensation when you strike a putt and know it is going in from 20+ feet.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

There ya go, Chick. Admittedly, I'm no glow (but then, who really is?) 

Just your typical mid-50's, a$$ whoopin', Ranger-trained TACP who kills bad guys for breakfast in defense of Mom, apple pie, and the right to argue incessantly on MU Scoop.

Your service is much appreciated, Keefe.  My brother was a ranger with the 101st Airborne division before he retired.  It is folks like you that allow us the ability to curse Wojo, disparage 18 year olds when they throw up an ill-advised 3 in the last minutes of a game, and generally deride each other without censorship or fear of persecution.

Happy Thanksgiving!

You noticed the Michigan shirt?

Between the chiseled good looks, keen intellect, rippling muscles, dog tags, and wry wit most women are too busy pulling down their panties to notice a tee shirt.

I can wear a Marquette tee next week if you wish...

We often screamed out, "Let's do this for the men and women of MU Scoop!" as we jumped out of a C 17 at 28,000'.

Make sure you thank your brother tomorrow, Mom!

There are thousands of young men and women in uniform scattered around the world. They would much rather be with family and friends tomorrow but they are standing watch to keep all of us safe. We need to remember them when we sit down with ours.

My Dad (MU 1955) who caused my addiction to Marquette basketball.
My wife, who has put up with this addition for more than 35 years, even though she isn't much of a sports fan.
The memories of Coach McGuire, our great teams of the 1960s and 1970s and our national championship team.
The promise of Coach Wojo, who performed a miracle last Friday through Tuesday.
Our Top 5 recruiting class and the implication that will have on our program.
The ability to yell at a couple of youngsters for taking ill-advised shots and yet the willingness to embrace them as our own, especially when those ill-advised shots clank off the front of the rim.
Caring enough to erupt in a bar in Chicago Monday night after we defeated LSU in Brooklyn
