A remedy to the university's leftward, secular drift is at hand. The College Republicans will host Presidential candidate and exemplary new Catholic Newt Gingrich and the perpetually-smiling Callista, this Thursday in the Weasler Auditorium at 7:30 p.m.

I agree with you. I think Marquette as a university is so out of touch with its alums and their wants and beliefs it's not even funny. Between PC name changes, HIRING practices, far left leanings, etc., I think many let it slide figuring MU has become much like most of "academia."

With that said, I think people draw the line with the basketball program. You start messing with this thing and it'd spell absolute disaster. 40 years in the desert type stuff. Marquette is a nice university. It's not Boston College, it's not Notre Dame, it's not Georgetown and it never will be.

I think this Buzz situation is an absolute powder keg for the university itself and they better not light a match.

I think MU has had it's share of BIG mistakes. The way the "gold" thing played out, and now the "buzz thing", it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

However, it's funny you go back to 1994 as your base example for how MU screws things up. Do you realize ALL of the things MU has done RIGHT since then (including hiring Buzz when it wasn't a popular decision).

I won't say that MU is infallible, but they might not be as dumb or as crazy as we think. They have gotten a lot of stuff right in the past 15 years. Campus planning, enrollment, athletics, donations, academic programs, etc.
