Oso planning to go pro
This photo is very special to me. It is framed and sealed, so please excuse the attachment quality.The original is one of a kind. Back in the days of thermofax this wire photo was rescued off the machine by my brother who was then working at a Fort Wayne Indiana TV station. Why is it special? It was never republished, yet it is proof (possibly the only remaining proof) of the key moment of the MU NCAA Championship.It remains the only photo to capture both the ball already away from Jerome Whithead's hand AND the scoreboard still showing :01 ...ie our seminfinal win in 1977 was on a legal timely shot.My Bro covered Al McGuire at a function a few months later, and got Al to sign it "1977 Al McGuire" He then gave it to me as one my best presents ever, ...Bro described that when Al saw this he went silent,... studied the photo for a moment....then looked up with his wide grin and said, "I guess this proves it" Yes...this proves it.
The best of all was Al and old man Hughes. That photo captured the essence of what Marquette was back then -- and hopefully still is.That said, I admit I love the one with Markus Howard and the student doing selfies. There's something real about that and something that shows the link between our team and our fans.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.

I cant seem to cure this. If one opens it in photo view it can be rotated to make sense. Again sorry
Yea that one with Markus and the fans is nice. I like the fact that the entire team took the time to walk around with the fans after big wins. It's also funny that we're talking about the good relationship between Markus and the fanbase in one thread, and talking about how he can't dribble or pass and has no professional future in another. Truly the epitome of the scoop.
The very first photo in this thread is Michael Wilson standing on the rim. It is after the Doc game winner against ND (sucks). I know because I helped lift him up there - and then drunkenly took his shoe. My contribution to Marquette lore.
This picture deserves special attention. Why, because I hate Bucky like many of you hate ND. I will never tire of this picture/story.Notice Mr. Hughes "salute" to Mr. McGuire. Anytime you can get Bucky fans this upset, you have my utmost respect.
