Great crowd. People taking photos with trophy. Larry Williams about to start the event.
How would you describe his hat in detail?
Marquette Golden Blues (singing group) starting it off with a few songs. Titanium. Some Kind of Wondeful.
Hatless.

Nailed it.
Giving outgoing players the most complimentary awards to motivate next years guys and show them how much room there is at the top of the roster award. Buzz.
Are they cutting down the nets around midnight?

This didn't need to be in teal. I guess if you are having an "awards" banquet you need to fill the time somehow.

Wade Legacy of Leadership Award - Derrick Wilson
I think you meant Derick Anderson. I'm expecting big things from him this year.
During the defensive player of the year speech by Trent he told a story about how the week before the Miami game him and Vander had been preparing to guard individual players. The entire week Trent was prepping on guarding Scott. Then right before tip of the Miami game the coaches tell him that he and vander are switching defensive assignments.
Everything turned out alright.
Thanks for the updates Tall Titan!
Was there any mention of Vander leaving the team? Just wondering if he had a "goodbye speech" or anything like that? Or was that purposedly not brought up?
Yeah it was brought up by Autry, Buzz, and the host.
Vander talked about it in his MVP speech. Said it was a difficult week. It really hit him at the awards banquet seeing how its a family at MU. Said he was never going to Wisconsin which got a big cheer. He also said the team would be better next year without him taking the shots. The crowd shot that idea down immediately. Thanked everyone.
when Vander received the MVP award, he did talk about his decision, how Marquette prepared him to have the opportunity, and what marquette meant to him.
Wainright - hilarious, who knew?
Kilcoyne - very funny, better MC than past years
Autry - we joked he should have been a TV Evangelist, has a gift for speaking - ran down a highlight of every player for the year off the top of his head in great detail (like knowing the exact time in the game)
Buzz - wife said - if anybody does not realize what MU has in Buzz after hearing him speak at the team banquets, they need to be questioned, his "tribute" to Junior was amazing
Davante - quite the ham, loves attention, personal favorite on the team
Weird seeing 4 players up there that normally would be coming back that are not

When he was coaching at DePaul I would listen to his radio show on 670 The Score because it was pretty much him doing stand up the whole time. Awesome guy.

Yes, what my wife said, sorry for not being clear.

Anyone take video of the event, specifically Buzz's talk at the end they could post?

Though seriously, thanks much for the report.
