Who's Al Maguire?
He's the guy that sponsors our jerseys. His logo is on the uniform.

I thought that was Hank?
I found Al Maguire.

Who could forget the inimitable Baby: Secrets of the Lost Legend from 1985. Al Maguire was a legend. A legend I tell you.
A plague on Deadspin for attacking a man who hasn't been active in Hollywood for 13 years.
His commentary on Missouri is pretty accurate.

When I read this, I was not amused ([sic] notwithstanding). When I read this after reading the first 10, I thought it was hilarious. Good stuff. My personal favorite:
Quote
"By the way, Northern Colorado (or as I call it, Loco NoCo) has a School of Sport and Exercise Science. You can get your diploma in one of three ways: Manual, Hill, or Random."
Hey - it's a haters guide, they have nasty things to say about everybody. But I did particularly laugh at Xaviers...
6. Xavier: Look at that fucking mascot: I bet that thing could deep throat a lounge pillow without gagging once.

4. Wisconsin: Oooh! Oooh! Do you ever watch basketball and think to yourself, "Hey! I really wish this were more like soccer!", then do I have the team for you! Quick passin'! Bad shootin'! A style of play that feels slower than your average 8th grade French class! That's Wisconsin! You see, the reason the Badgers play so slow is that the average Wisconsin resident weighs 670 pounds and has an eye reflex that is five times slower than that of the average American. So if the Badgers were to play too fast, their fans' big fat eyes wouldn't be able to keep up with the ball going up and down the court so quickly. They could herniate a jowl if that happened.
And let's not forget this charming column from Rick Reilly about coach Bo Ryan:
His wife of 32 years, Kelly (the one he talked out of marrying someone else), has agreed to a deal. Bo has to do no dishes, no cooking, no mowing, no cleaning, no vacuuming, no lightbulb-changing, no spider killing — nothing, "except win basketball games," she says. "As long as he keeps winning basketball games, he doesn't have to do anything around the house."
O.K., pushing around prisoners is one thing, but wives? Now that's impressive.
I know! I love how he's able to not do anything around the house to help make his wife's life easier! If only I had married a spineless pushover of a woman to slave over me while I go out and ruin the game of basketball!
