Otule Has Been At MU So Long ...

[wadesworld]

Just think how many games McNeal, Matthews, and James should have logged had there not been asinine training practices that injured players needlessly as well as proper game leadership that would have taken such talent deeper into the tournament each of their four years at Marquette. Such wasted promise.

If not for that, Wes Matt would not have been a 4 year player for Marquette.

Chris has been here so long that when he started, F*ckin' hadn't yet reached puberty.

...that when he arrived at Marquette...

• ...the iPhone 3G was considered cutting-edge technology.
  
• ...George Bush was still in office.
  
• ...the economy had yet to crash.
  
• ...Hannah Montana was more famous than Miley Cyrus.
  
• ...Walter White was still the good guy on Breaking Bad.
  
• ...Tiger Woods was still happily married to Elin Nordegren.
  
• ...no one had heard of Justin Bieber.
  
• ...John Calipari was still at Memphis.

... Marquette's teams were still the Hilltoppers.
... The Mugrack was a speakeasy.
... His number officially was referred to as "42 skidoo."
... Al McGuire was lethal with his two-handed set shot at St. John's Prep.
... Chicago had a half-dozen daily newspapers -- and people actually read them!

I graduated in December 2008. Otule was on the team then. I attended my 5 year anniversary this past summer. Otule is still on the team.

To be fair, Chris is the only tenured player on the team.

He used to help Jacques drag his canoe down to the river every morning.

Blondie was still serving chili.

Mix it up boys, mix it good.

...he played against George Mikan on DePaul.

[willie warrior]

....that he has finally got his conditioning to 22 minutes per game.

Well played.

Wow, there's still an Indian on the seal?

[bork]

I had been wondering how unusual is it for a player that has played as many games as Chris to not have attempted a three? That means he never had a desparation shot at the end of a half, end of a game or end of shot clock.

I'd say pretty common for centers.

Barro played 127 games, Robert Jackson played 119, McIlvaine played 118 games without attempting a 3.

Then again, Mike Kinsella shot 80% from three-point range during his MU career.

Yeah, and he is doing the heavy lifting/Paddling. Very racist/insensitive.
