Today is Al McGuire's birthday.
You know what he would have wanted?
A donation to Al's Run.
How about $19.77 ? Or maybe $76.77 ? $67.59 (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/1976#season_result)? Or how about 295.80 (http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/coaches#results)?
Click here, and plop down a few bucks, your annual homage to our patron saint. Al would want you to: http://www.firstgiving.com/MarquetteFans (http://www.firstgiving.com/MarquetteFans)
So far, 36 hours in, we're off to a fast start, but have a ways to go.
Also .. if you are feeling rich .. last year, we had some great success with 1-hour match-offs. Tell me your maximum "match" and I'll post it .. all the pledges we get in that hour, you match. Even a $100 match works well. Worked like a charm, to double your money. (Email: Hilltopper91@gmail.com (mailto:Hilltopper91@gmail.com))
It's time to cowboy up. (http://www.firstgiving.com/MarquetteFans)

Happy Birthday Coach Al. Still my favorite picture of the man. Last stop at ND I believe. One of the five greatest icons in Wisconsin sports history.
Also the model for his statue at the AL.
Time to pony up, guys .. I'm surprised no one has done a $19.77 donation yet. You could be the first.

HA!
Sweet. $19.77. Now we still need: $76.77 $67.59? and $ 295.80?
I'm hoping to be the guy that makes the total $1,977 on the dot.
$1,241.46 is a heafty donation at this point for a poor college student though!

Lay off the 'Doba this semester and you can afford it.

No kidding. I am already there every other day and it's on the other side of town. In four days it's going to be 40 feet away from my doorstep. Not good for the wallet.
I've got the rest but what is 67-59?
Final score of the championship game.
Thanks.
