Marquette vs Ohio State...on a naval ship?

[WI inferiority Complexes]

In fact, MU should make a stand and wear peace-inspired uniforms. No need for more warmongering.

+1.

Hopefully not.  When Navy guys throw missiles at you from the stands, they don't miss.  (unlike drunk UWV fans)

Where's that buggy gonna be parked, Hiroshima, Japan?

Buzz got his swim trunks, and his flippie-floppies
He's flippin burgers, Bo's at Kinko's straight flippin' copies

ROFLCOPTER.... there's your Hiroshima people.  

As Ashton Kutcher would say: "You just got punk'd."


EDIT--- In other words, some thought MU was Hiroshima, when MU has been Enola Gay all along.

[MarquetteDano]

So I believe Buzz has taken a tumble each and every season.  What is the over/under percentage he doesn't have his sea legs and falls sometime during the broadcast?

I wonder what color scheme MU would get for the camo uniforms?  I might lean towards gold to differentiate from UNC last year.

Yuck. I hope there are no camo uniforms. In fact, MU should make a stand and wear peace-inspired uniforms. No need for more warmongering.

I don't see how camo=warmongering. Seems to me more of gesture of solidarity with those men and women in uniform. Maybe instead of actually playing the game both teams could hold hands and sing Kumbayah at center court, or even better the left side of the court.....

If this happens, I'll guarantee the camo jerseys.

Give me a navy blue base with flecks of gold and baby blue.

I was thinking this too.  tOSU with gray camos and we can rock the navy/valour blue camos.  It would look pretty sweet.

[JakeBarnes]

I thought only blue bloods got this type of a game!

Now that I have fed the trolls.  This is awesome.  The fact that we are involved in this discussion for such a prime time, high-profile event is a great thing for the university and the basketball program.  Paging Diamond Stone...

[Badgerhater]

With the family I took a daytrip there from Myrtle Beach.  It's very hot & humid in August.  They have a nice air conditioned bus tour that stops at the well know locations.  I recall an outdoor market.  I imagine November to be much nice weather.

I once spent an entire fall in SC for work.   Imagine a perfect summer day in Wisconsin from late September through early December.

MU playing OSU on a battle ship.. OMG!!

National televised game
Against a Final 4 team.

Sounds ....eerily....SLUish.....

[chapman]

Would be a great idea for the exposure and a very tough non-con game.  And I'd be able to make the drive,  but how difficult would it be to get tickets to something like this?

No, while he may be the size of one, Rick Majerus isn't actually a battleship.

[strotty]

I know last year there were no tickets sold to the public for the MSU-UNC game, and that people who DID receive tickets were not allowed to scalp them. I assume this will be a very tough ticket to obtain.

[4everwarriors]

Man, we were really able to book this gig without Crean and all his contacts? Who'da thunk it?

[Aughnanure]

And Marquette was the team that was going to be in the game no matter what. It was going to be either Marquette vs. OSU or Marquette vs. Kansas.

Is there a reason why? Was Marquette pushing to be part of it harder than other schools? This is awesome news, I'm just surprised we would be targeted/chosen.

[JTBMU7]

As far as the loaded non-con goes, I say bring it on. I'd be happy to adopt the Tom Izzo plan of loading the early part of the sched with every big name team you can get. Last year they played UNC, Duke and Gonzaga on the road, lost 2 of 3, and still got a #1 seed. The national exposure and tough games should prep the team well for the Big East and pay off at the end of the year when they start breaking down SOS etc...

[martyconlonontherun]

Remember how big game day was? I would imagine this is would rank even higher on a recruits mind. Anyway recruits can go to this game?

Not to mention they are entertaining to watch.

Please, please let this happen. As an Ohio native, I would like nothing more than to shove a Marquette victory in the face of every Tressel Meyer-loving, Pryor-defending, Maurice Clarett jersey-wearing, pretentious Suckeye fan that I can find.

[PVMagic]

As an Ohio native AND a pretentious Urban Meyer-loving, lifelong Suckeye fan... I'd also LOVE an MU victory to throw at all of my other pretentious Urban Meyer-loving Suckeye fan friends' faces .

[MUfan12]

We could go with throwbacks and wear the Doc Rivers era jersey with the camo on the sides.

I dig this idea. That would be sweet.

[MarquetteNation]

Does the new AD deserve any credit for getting this rolling?
