Walking Boot

Marquette players since 2000 have had a propensity to injure legs and feet(Chris Otule and Dan Fitzgerald being the leads), resulting in their being placed in walking boots.  Sometimes players that no one had any idea were injured would be spotted on campus with a walking boot on, this included players who would then play in a game that night.  This led to the often repeated walking boot meme when any player was thought to be injured or even struggling with classes.  It has been speculated that MU has a discount deal with a boot supplier.


Gold Vests

Before the gold vest became a hipster/young MU alumni ironic statement at games, gold vests were worn at MU games by the elder alumni and the term on Scoop was used to generally disparage the seemingly out dated mode of thought.  Similar to referring to the "geezers" chasing kids off lawns and some such non-sense.  Lastly there seemed to be some bitterness towards to older alumni sitting in the nice seats at the BC

Hey, I resemble that remark.  Though "hipster" is probably a stretch.

True story: I actually packed my gold vest when we went to Maui in 2012; my wife was appalled to see it when we unpacked at the hotel.  I thought it would have been the perfect statement of irony to show up to the alumni functions wearing sandals, shorts and my gold vest.  But alas, my wife talked some sense into me.

Bump to keep them at the top until posted
