The perfect stocking stuffer for any Marquette Basketball fan. It's a mug that speaks for itself.

Put em on eBay and I'll buy one.
Follow the link to www.buzzmugs.blogspot.com, it's on paypal.
Can you customize with our favorite Buzzism's?
While the Beaver quote is good, some of us with militant-feminist UW co-workers (redundancy, sorry) may not want to chance bringing that into a work setting.
I wish we could.
While the Beaver quote is certainly up for interpretation, we believe Buzz is referring to players, when he speaks of Beavers. However, if the next 20 people suggest their favorite Buzz quote that doesn't have militant-feminist connotations, we'll select one at random and ship'em a free mug.
That's the best we can do in terms of customization (and shield ourselves from fanatical Bucky fans).

"Marquette Men's Basketball is not for everybody. We don't need anybody, but we need everybody."
"Don't mess with happy"
He's a great ballplayer, but an even better person.

"As you progress through life, whatever your goals may be, make sure you keep your eye on the donut, not on the hole."
(i think the donut reference fits in with great the coffee mug theme)
Pink is my third favorite color.
Anyone else got some good quotes? Great win for MU tonight!! Buck the Fadgers!
Anybody wanna share a quote for the chance to win a free mug? Go marquette! Gonna be #10 by Monday!
"I like guys that when they order, they just use a number. 'I'd like the No. 2 combo meal.' I like those kinds of kids."

see, thats the kind of insane anti-thinking stuff i hate. I absolutely hate it/ what matters is your work ethic, your skills, your ability to play the game. random preferences like cracked sidewalks or combo meals is just an awful way to go about recruiting, and i'd be floored if these criteria were used as anything but an absolute last resort tie breaker by ANY MU coach.
MUBB is an inspirational game. Its about the character of the players and the coach. In this way, mubb is doin good things!

I think the thought behind it is that recruits who come from more difficult backgrounds are more prone to fight and scrap harder for every opportunity. The work ethic that Buzz demands of the players is not normal for an 18-20 year old kid...especially a kid with a solid backup option.
It is a Sun Tzu philosophy - an enemy with a means of escape will not fight with the courage of despair.

I'd buy one in a heartbeat if the beaver quote wasn't on there. My wife would roll her eyes every morning when she saw it. Not worth it.
"I'll row with that cat no matter where he goes when his career is over."
"We need a day to get some juice back because we're not very good without juice."
"I googled 'magic pills'... nothin' came up."
the ellipsis is "after we got beat by DePaul", but that would be sad to put on a mug.
From after the Syracuse win in last year's tourney:
"I want the refs to be bad, I want the fans to all root for the other team, I want it completely stacked up, because then I wanna see what we are. And that is demented in some ways. But it's the truth, it's my heart."
"You get what you earn in life. If you don't earn nothin', you don't get nothin', and that's bad grammar but it's the truth."
From this video:

From his post-game presser after the 'Cuse win last year, talking about our previously much-maligned JUCOs:
"Just like I have, the road less traveled, two roads that diverged in the woods. Those three guys and myself, we took the road less traveled, Robert Frost"
Where would our program be right now without Jimmy, Jae, and DJO? So glad they took the road less traveled to play at MU.
Ok there have been 17 Buzzisms uttered on this thread. Three more.... and someone gets a free mug.
If you don't get selected, you can always buy one and we'll ship it to ya by next week, right in time for some Christmas eggnog!
Thanks for playing!
'And hopefully we'll grow enough hair that there will be enough protection for your brain to not forget.'
"People will constantly say they don't believe in you, but you have to identify who the they is."
"I function on passion. I can never be low on gas."
"Were going to show up, we might not do anything else, but were going to show up, were going to show up and compete."
After much random deliberation, we've selected a winner! marqptm is the man with the new buzz mug! We are shipping it out to him this week!
Merry Christmas everyone! Have a great holiday and new year!
Best.
