True love

[brewcity77]

So my fiancé got braces because she wants her teeth straight for the wedding pictures. Today she got them tightened and got new rubber bands. As soon as she was done, she texted me a picture of her smile, complete with Blue and Gold rubber bands. Suffice to say, I love it!

So...what's the coolest Marquette-themed thing a significant other has done for you guys?

[Sharpie]

Gf ordered me Marquette game shorts and some new MU Jordan gear for march madness. She hates basketball. But certainly loves when Marquette wins. Lol

[JD]

That's pretty cool Brew.

My story happened last week.  Although she isn't my significant other, but we are good "friends"  She flew in from phoenix last weekend, and has never heard of Marquette up until she meet me.  Well after 4 wonderful nights at the Hyatt and 2 NCAA games under her belt, she made me drive her to the spirit shop, she bought 3 Jordan shirts, and flew back home on Sunday.

She texted me this morning telling me she's bringing one of her friends to the game on Thursday!

I think it's pretty cool that a friend who i really don't talk to, instantly became a fanatic of the Warriors and is now passing it on to her friends!

Wife gave me a S16 shirt for my birthday today (cough).

[Goose]

Happy bday topper....hope you get extra bday gift later tonight. We all are under a lot of stress with all going on and we all need some stress relief.

[Pakuni]

She entertained, briefly, my suggestion we give our daughter the middle name Wade.
My daughter was born late December 2003. Do the math.

My fiance took a picture from the Cuse game last year at the BC. She captured DJO in mid air going up for one of his classic breakaway right handed jam. Trailing in the background are Scoop Jardine and Brandon Triche looking up at DJO helplessly. This year she blew it up to a 16 x 20 size and took it to midnight madness this year for DJO to sign.

Needless to say this is now framed and has become the centerpiece over our fireplace.

GO MARQUETTE!!!

[Milwarriorkee]

She made me a cake for our rehearsal dinner the night before we got married.

The pic is kind of blurry but it says: "I love you more than you love...Marquette Warriors." 

Doubtful.

I'm giving you fair warning, keep a close lookout on this one, if I'm ever around.

My coolest Marquette themed experience was getting a road dog while listening to homer and Mac. Feels weird now that I'm writing it down.

...in which case, you have my permission to woo her with season tickets

Hope 4ever didn't do the work.  Her teeth will spell "Bruce" when the bands come off.

She didn't want to spend the extra ching for it, and now that she has Blue and Gold teeth, I'm glad she didn't. Perfect timing, right before the Sweet 16...if we win 2 games this weekend, I might have to force her to take sick days to fly to NOLA with me.

4ever is still waiting for Gabi to text him back.

PTM....now by "Gabi" are you talking about a MU alum?  Please tell me no!  I had an unfortunate run in with her

There was nothing good about her, she was large and in charge. She could suck the chrome off a hitch from what i heard "from a friend"  Blah! Hope this isn't the same girl.

Haha. Now I feel inclined to share that the story is false, sadly. But you could imagine...

Back on topic: the bride let me clip an MU into the scalp of our lad, who thought it a great idea. At halftime, he and I were momentarily at courtside. A towering camera operator asked the lad to stop and captured an initialed scalp image, which was shown a few minutes later on the jumbotron. During the next bath break, all too many at neighboring urinals said "It's the kid from the jumbotron!" The lad raced out, tugging up his shorts; he has never again worn his hair so short.

That season ended with an impromptu road trip to Knoxville. Before departing, the children posed in facepaint, Warrior tees, and their homemade Go Warrior signs. Pregame, they put the MacIlvaine-Key-Logterman senior posters in the window of our room. When the Dukies lodged nearby walked past and yelled Duke, the children opened the door and yelled "MAR-QUETTE." The bride approved and encouraged such behavior through their formative years. Bless her.

And, yes, the young peoples' orthodontia featured gold-and-blue spacers and rubber bands.

Was this the S16 game in 1994?  jsglow road-tripped to that, but he went with his buddies and left me at home with a two-year-old and a newborn...a nominee for the least cool thing a loved one has done.  I have been patiently waiting for my opportunity for revenge - a solo trip to NOLA might just do the trick...

Damnet. 5'9? That is a deal breaker for me. Same goes for Kate Upton, Alessandra Ambrosio and pretty much every other Victoria's secret model. Although my father always told me to date a tall chick because "when you're nose to nose your toes are in it and when you're toes to toes your nose is in it."

[Silkk the Shaka]

My girlfriend went to Wisconsin and she wears MU gear to the games and game viewing parties with me. The favor is not reciprocated for the football season or Wisconsin bball games. She got me a Wisconsin shirt once and I "accidentally lost it" while we were long distance dating for a short period. As much as I appreciate that she does it for me, I just can't bring myself to wear a Bucky shirt. Does that make me an a-hole? Or does it make me even more awesome?

I vote a-hole.  Relationships are about compromise.

[Silkk the Shaka]

My defense is that I don't force her to wear it, she wants to cuz I'm obsessed and she's just a casual fan. Meaning she has a real life.

[MUMac]

I vote a-hole.  Relationships are about compromise.

There are some things that just cannot be compromised.  A bucky shirt falls in that category.

[Sir Lawrence]

Says the MU grad that married a MU grad with the child attending.....MU.

But I vote a- hole too.  I don't "force her to wear it?"  Big of you.

[real chili 83]

She might as well have asked him to wear an ND shirt with a big ole picture of Digger on it.  The good ones don't ask a man to do that kind of stuff.

That will be two children attending MU as of the fall - son just committed yesterday.

But I'll have you know that jsglow has attended figure skating shows with me simply because I like them.  And I have attended NASCAR races because he likes those.  Compromise.

I watch effing House Hunters and Project Runway with her. PRETTY sure I understand the meaning of the word compromise. The MU gear is her idea, and she does it voluntarily without any prodding from my side. If she stopped tomorrow I wouldn't put up a stink, nor does she when I don't wear Badgers garbage. It's a nice MU realated thing she does for me, which is what the thread was asking about. Just can't bring myself to do the same, although I think the things referenced above more than make up for that.

If she wouldn't put up a stink, why did you have to "accidentally lose the shirt" instead of just telling her you don't want to wear it?

[jtrash37]

Every year, my wife purchases some MU tickets from an auction in Kenosha at the Bowl for the Cure.  She's also bought me an MU blanket and about a dozen pieces of golf paraphernalia... ball markers, head covers, putter head cover, shirts, hats, etc.

She also realizes any UW-Granola items being given to our family will be discarded in the circular file.

Pretty awesome!

[Silkk the Shaka]

Are you serious?  Cuz we had just started dating and it was way easier than to tell her to eff off (which I would never do), and it was before she ever wore anything MU related for me.  Had I known then what I know now it wouldn't have been a problem.  Am I really getting flak for not wearing UW gear?  The a-hole thing was a throwaway line, I thought it might be kinda sorta funny, seeing as they're a rival and all.  Forget I said anything.  You already got me to publicly admit I watch Project Runway for the sake of my relationship, I will not be responding to this again.

[77fan88warrior]

My youngest daughter was born the day before semi-final game against Kansas in 2003. My wife(Alum) was willing to leave the baby at hospital due to baby's required 48 hour stay and watched game with me at local tavern. I'm not sure she did it out of love for me, fear of abandonment, or love of MU? It might have been the fact that we have 3 older children and she didn't want to go home quite yet!

This presumes you have already attained some level of awesome...

[Jim Sawdust]

To warriorchick's question: "Was this the S16 game in 1994?"

Yes, we all went together, with the bride and I sharing the driving tasks. The young people drive now, so the next time we're possessed and able to head out en masse, I will navigate (or nap) while they attend to traffic.

Back then, we had four seats in one of the short F rows upstairs. The rail in front of us allowed the wee ones to safely kick and tap and lean, and afforded them a great vantage for the game and everything that went on around us. One evening, they joined the clamor against a questionable call, waving their little arms and chanting "bullcrap, bullcrap! Imagine the parental dismay.

Mother and I stifled our laughter, and said in one voice, "Just don't say it at school."

[Jay Bee]

I like when Scoopers pretend they have significant others.

I spend hundreds each year on MU gear.  It's really all I wear (when I have clothes on, which isn't often).

warriorchick: are you and that guy going to be in Phoenix? How 'bout that daughter of yours? Holla

[Henry Sugar]

My wife agreed to name one of our kids McGuire. 

That's his first name.  We call him Mick.

No, we are not going to be in Phoenix.   And I am sure my daughter is not your type.  She is not a bimbo.

[RushmoreAcademy]

Some lucky guys here....  I'm lucky if I get the living room and not the basement to scream a the television.  I finally got my wife to fill out a bracket this year (even though she picked on the states she knows people in), and she sent me an update on some scores at work... it's been a long time since she's sent me a dirty text.

[warriors1991]

My now "ex" suggested a couple years ago (when still not an "ex") we drop our season tickets for a few years to save some money.

NOT

[Blackhat]

[warriors1991]

I still have my season tickets.

[Jay Bee]

Whatever - that's way too big. They have to be at least a little bit shorter and less heavy than me (so, 5'7" and 245 at most).

warriorchick - I don't ONLY like bimbos.  Actually, I prefer a lady in the street but a freak in the bed.  5'6", 130? That's your son?  Sounds like Chicos.

No, didn't catch that.  Was that in Teen?  It sounds like a ploy to make people look at her as less of a boyish dog and more feminine/soft.  "Oooh, I'm tender and a vegan inside, I just look like a male alien".  Didn't you go vegan when you first came out? 

Quarles & Brady is offering the Marquette faithful a breakfast on Friday.  That's very kind of them, but if they serve any meat we'll need to exorcise those sinners.
