There will be a team sendoff at 1:30 at the Al McGuire Center for those interested.
Someone please get video for us out of towners. Thanks GO MARQUETTE!
Im going to swing by the AL but im guessing the turnout won't be great. lots of people in class especially because 130 is right in the middle of a lot of class periods.
Maybe an enterprising student can pull this off:
MU has a wi-fi network, right? You have a smartphone?
There's an app from ustream:

Install the app .. get an account on ustream and broadcast the Team Sendoff live over MU's wifi network .. or your 3g/4g account.
Just remember to post the link to your stream here.

Come on .. _maybe_ 50% of students happen to have a Tues/Thurs class right now. That leaves a few thousand to show up at the Al. Unless that's what you meant by not a great turnout.
Still waiting here...

Are there a lot of people there? My kid said she hadn't heard anything about it. There was apparently no mass email to the students.

That's ok though, since the players are still hangin at the club.
Just got back from the "sendoff." The pep band and cheerleaders were there pep banding and cheerleading. After almost an hour, the team came out, exchanged some slaps of 5 (even Vander!) with the fans and got on the bus. That was it. I had to walk back to the office before Buzz came out. Maybe he did something noteworthy but, if not, it was pretty eh...although, that's kind of what I was expecting. There were a lot of people there at 1:30 but the crowd had seemingly thinned by the time the team came out, which was somewhat disappointing.
Here ya go

Correct. I saw it on twitter. I can tell you most students probably check their twitter 5 times to every 1 time they check their email.
Looks like a pretty nice sendoff to me...

Well played. I nearly spit coffee on my keyboard!
I'm betting the delay had something to do with the JS story just released. I also bet Buzz isn't a very happy camper right now. Hope he gets our team fired up for Thursday and this doesn't screw with their heads.
Go Warriors, bring back some gator meat!!

I think you are 100% wrong.

Actually, I believe there is much truth to that. Not confirmed, but hearing that could be the case.

Are you telling me that these 6 guys got got tickets several weeks ago and Buzz knew nothing about it until today and THEN he got pissed?
Or are you just saying he's not happy about the publicity?

No, but the press is digging (not Walker) trying to see if there is more to the story. They had to deal with the press today more than they wanted to. That is what I had heard.
Edit: This is not fully confirmed, but what I had heard.

Mac, do you mean "pres" as in Fr. Pilarz, or "press"?
Thanks in advance.
For what it's worth... I saw Buzz leaving the Al and he did NOT look happy. Hardly acknowledged the fans. Didn't seem very Buzz-like

WOW a dangerous typo. I will correct. PRES
S. Thanks for the catch. I would have hated it to blow out of proportion due to poor typing scilz.
Anyone else there notice Mayo's hat as he was loading the bus? I believe it said "I {heart} Haters." Does that constitute showing the chip on your shoulder on your hat? Or perhaps he's the team's Judah Friedlander.
Thank God these kids are getting out of town. What a nightmare. I understand they're university representatives, but being in a nightclub and not drinking? This is a story? I hate to say it, this seems like a Milwaukee problem. These are kids! I have a hard time believing the Chicago Police would arrest Cleveland Melvin for being at a downtown nightclub. They'd just tell him to leave and MAYBE ticket the club.
I was there in the heat. The players looked happy when they came out at 2:15pm. The band was playing and the cheerleaders was there. Old and young people were at the Al. About 200 people.
