Al Goes Out In Style....must read material
Written by: NY Warrior
Courtesy of a faithful Cracked Sidewalks reader, here is the actual Sports Illustrated cover story recounting Marquette's 1977 National Championship (http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1092233/index.htm). If that link is slow, here's the landing page (http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/).
Good reading and thanks!!

That was nice to read - I remember it well :)
I bought a copy of that SI issue on eBay a number of years ago, and I sent it to Al to see if he would autograph it. After a month passed, I thought - oh well, he's probably just too busy. Then one day, there was a package in the mail - YES - the SI magazine had been returned - and Al signed the cover - it' son of my prize possessions; he died like a year and later.
GO MARQUETTE!!!
