Rick Reilly on Marquette and Buzz.

[Warriors 79]

Love it. love it, love it.  Buzz is as quotable as Al McGuire and the press loves him to the point of making fun of the non-issue with the underage bar thing, unlike the Urinal Scentinal...

Nothing like your hometown paper getting behind the local kids....

Let's Get Ready TO RUMBLE!!!!

9. Which will give out first on non-stop Marquette coach Buzz Williams -- his voice or the underarms of his shirt? Let's hope it's not his voice again. Sports writers would pitch in and send a limo to get Williams to the arena. He says things like, "We're not a filet mignon team ... we gotta get back to eatin' hamburger." He loves "character guys" but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported this week that six of his players were ticketed this season for being in a bar underage. Well, where are you supposed to go in Milwaukee?



10. One of the six Marquette players who was NOT at the bar was its star, Jae Crowder, who has seven siblings, one of which you'll notice on television. He's just slightly larger than a Red Roof Inn. Crowder is easy to spot, too. He has the body of an NFL tight end -- although he played QB -- with dreadlocks halfway down his back, tied in a ponytail. Yank them at your peril. To keep in shape, he pulls SUVs with ropes. When SUVs aren't available, he uses his brother.

Amen to that

So instead he'll make cheap fat jokes about Jae's brother.  Reilly is a turd.

And Jae could have been at the bar.  He just wasn't ticketed.

And Jae could have been at the bar.  He just wasn't ticketed.

He's over 21.

He's over 21.

Further proving sultan's point.

I should have been more clear.  As far as we know, the entire team was there.  Just those who are under 21 were mentioned.

[jficke13]

the JSonline guy wrote in a followup story that DJO was there but not ticketed (because he's over 21). If Crowder were there, one would think (spotting this guy some ability to do his job) that Jae would have been in the story too.

Yeah, only one on the team under 21 who wasn't ticketed was Gardner, who was likely at home icing the knee he had just sprained.
