Went to my company's main office today wearing an MU polo and my director mentioned that the company's ceo (MU alum) hired a former MUBB player to do all the artwork on the walls. Described the guy as around 7ft tall which is a pretty small list of players around here.
Office in Lincolnshire so that probably limits it to a former center living in Chicago or Milwaukee.
Any ideas?
Mike Kinsella?

Looked up his business and he could certainly be it. Thanks!

If he wants more artwork by a Marquette alum, I have some stick figures for sale that he may find interesting.

I ran into Mike Kinsella a couple/three years ago in downtown Milwaukee. He was overseeing the installation of the Pabst Theater blade sign on the building at the corner of Water and Wells. He told me he worked for the sign company.

Wade Harbin!!! Forever in the top spot of Marquette-centric "why the hell do I remember that" is the fact that both of those made 3s were in the same game, from the corner near the band, and 9 year old me lost my mind at the walk-on lighting it up

Wade lived in McCormick when we were freshmen and became an instant celebrity when he was announced as a walk-on. He was a really good guy. A few years later, I left being an RA in McCormick to study abroad, and he was my replacement

I did it for a single room and free room and board. It also helped me get around visitation restrictions.
I wasn't a very good RA because I "didn't do it for the right reasons."

Not a good RA by whose standards? The "governing body" or by student outcomes?
I had 2 RAs on my floor freshman year. Both were really nice guys.
One, Joe, was an absolute by the book, stickler for rules, operated as if any missteps would get him personally expelled, but at least he was friendly and helpful, didn't feel power drunk like some of my friend's RAs.
The other, Sam, was laid back, more of an older brother type, wasn't trying to be your buddy but also wasn't going to nitpick rules. It was mostly about risk mitigation for him, keeping people safe, and preventing 18 year olds from being their own worst enemies. I think he realized you weren't going to 100% stop drinking the dorms or floor curfew hours or other relatively minor infractions. But punish the people being reckless and flagrant, stop any behavior that puts people at physical or mental/emotional risk, and teach us to be adults.
According to a lot of RAs, certainly 2 of the female RAs in our dorm who were seemingly destined for careers in rules based administration or HR, Sam was not a good RA. But I can tell you we respected Sam more than Joe. We didn't try to deceive or outwit him, and if he actually got mad at us or wrote someone up for something, we knew it was justified and someone was out of bounds.
I'm not sure how it is at Marquette or other schools, but each dorm (or pairs of dorms for some of the smaller buildings) had "resident advisor" who lived on the first floor in a 1 BR apartment (as opposed to the RA's singles). Basically managed the RAs, the dorm budget/extra curriculars/events/etc..., and was a part of the University administration. I randomly crossed paths with my Resident Advisor in my mid 20s when my agency worked with a HR consulting company that he now worked for. Over drinks I remember asking about my dorm, the dynamics, the RAs, etc... because he mentioned he only did it for 2 years before moving to a different role. So he clearly remembered everyone. He actually said that he really liked Joe and thought he was a good RA who really put his residents first, albeit misguided at times when he was worried about oversight. However, interestingly, he said he completely preferred Sam's style of RA "policing". Thought it was a much more modern and progressive view of resident life (especially freshmen) and that he butted heads with others in the administration about it (and also had to deal with more traditional stickler RAs complaints about it). The schism between an RA treading the line of allowing "misbehavior" (and selective enforcement/punishment for infractions) as a way to teach and transition 18 year old idiots to adulthood...versus the much more traditional stereotypical strict law abiding clipboard jockey RA that was an extension of the university...was actually part of what made him move out of resident life administration.
Bit rambling, might be an interesting Superbar thread, but just made me think. Especially as I was just talking last night about dorms and dorm life with my wife as my niece heads to Chapel Hill in a few weeks.
My RAs freshman year at McCormick were great. I don't even know who my RA was my sophomore year at Tower.

Res Life (and at every school, Res Life thinks they're the most important department on campus).
When the school year started our Hall Director said "be little Hitlers." I was strict at first. By March, I was completely checked out as an "enforcer." Then, when I asked to be excused from training for a professional opportunity involving an internship I had and said I was leaving at the semester to go abroad, it proved I was "not dedicated to the mission of Res Life."

That's interesting. For the life of me, I have no idea who the RA was my sophomore either.
