I have absolutely no superstitions. I usually wear something that says Marquette on game day, but I also wear lots of MU stuff on non-game days.

My wife and I are thoroughly enjoying this season ... but I'll still occasionally yell at the TV, usually when there's a bad turnover or an inability to grab a rebound. Sends my poor dog scurrying out of the room! She HATES game day!

I think the biggest difference between this year and the last few years is I’ll move things around to watch Marquette this season.

Last year, if I missed the game or had something else to do, so be it. Didn’t particularly care.

Just got my monthly Microsoft report for January that calls out the rare days that I don’t spend “significant time working outside of normal hours”. Bumped it up against MU’s schedule and discovered MU games are the only thing that help balance my work/life schedule.
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

Yeah, about the only thing I yell at my TV this year is the occasional, "Will somebody please grab the damn ball?!!"

I feel like a bear emerging from hibernation. The Wojo-era apathy set in almost from the get-go. And as time went on, I started to think, getting into my 30s, that perhaps it was just a natural progression away from caring about my college's basketball team. SO GLAD I WAS WRONG.

I was coming to the game from a work event for the home game vs. PC. I forgot to pack extra MU clothes so I went in neutral colors. I continued to wear neutral colors during future games since it was the first win in awhile, and we ripped off 7 straight. We lost to PC and beat Nova since then. Is the good luck charm broken? Can I go back to wearing MU clothes? Or do I continue with the neutral clothes until we fail to cover?

So many tough, meaningless decisions to make!

Just because I am NOT superstitious does not mean that it is OK for you to go back to wearing "MU clothes". You now have a sacred duty to wear neutral colors on game day. I'm not superstitious. I'm not!

When the missed rebound leads directly to an opponent's 3, as happened at Providence ... arrrgh!

Always look forward to MU games.  Up or down.
