Good Clean American Fun Regional - 7 vs 10
« on: May 14, 2014, 08:50:04 AM »
Walking Boot
Marquette players since 2000 have had a propensity to injure legs and feet(Chris Otule and Dan Fitzgerald being the leads), resulting in their being placed in walking boots.  Sometimes players that no one had any idea were injured would be spotted on campus with a walking boot on, this included players who would then play in a game that night.  This led to the often repeated walking boot meme when any player was thought to be injured or even struggling with classes.  It has been speculated that MU has a discount deal with a boot supplier.

Grind Together Shine Together
The catch phrase of the 2010-2011 MU men's basketball team (supposedly invented by Joe Fulce) was quickly adopted by the Scoop faithful.  Used to express pride and admiration as the go for broke, leave nothing behind attitude, the meme further took off when Nike seized on the phrase and turned it into a t-shirt.  You know, because Nike doesn't make enough money off of us.

Im pretty sure the walking boot meme got started in 2001 when somebody reported that Brian Wardle was seen outside the brand new Jimmy Johns with a walking boot on.      A great Sub meme to this one would be "Anybody see players outside of Jimmy Johns?"

You could say the Marquette Walking Boots are the UCONN of the meme tournament...

Until I see a Nike-sponsored "Walking Boot" shirt, there's no way it should win.
