Wife is from Texas, promised her they'd move back there someday.  Someday is now.

Wonder if they give it to Novak next year?

Gonna miss Mac's dry sense of humor.

Very much enjoyed his quirkiness. Wish him and his family all the best. Enjoyed him as a player and on the radio.

Really hope Novak gets the gig, could do MU and still occasionally do stuff with the bucks.  Think he would do a great job.

Another person moves to Texas.  Well, they like big things down there and Mac fits the bill.  Good luck and thank you for the wit and charm.

My favorite Mac line, when Homer was talking about his playing career:

"I'm only the second best Marquette center from my high school named Jim."

Just make sure you guide Kent in the right direction when he's making his college choice in about 17 years. And for god's sake, don't let him play football!

Do they allow people over 7'6" to play football?

Mac, loved watching you play and loved listening to the broadcasts.  I hope we get more of the latter.  God bless and best wishes in TX.  We did not get to see many 7 footers walk through Wehr for math, but you did not disappoint.  Rumor has it that you were just looking to perfect your water skiing game (probably your angle of attack for shot blocks).
