In the movie "Midnight Express" which came out while I was a student.  The main character Billy Hayes, who was played by Brad Davis, was detained in the Middle East.  While they were searching his luggage, they held up a Marquette t-shirt and the audience at the MU Theater roared it's approval.  Movie was based on a true story and if you can find it, definitely worth seeing

Billy Hayes came to speak in the Varsity while I was a student.  I was working for ASMU at the time.  We invited him on a lark, and he didn't charge us a speakers fee.  He totally packed the place.

My intensive research using the source of all knowledge (aka googled it) turned up nothing. Doesn't mean it didn't happen, just that it isn't in any episode titles, descriptions, or posts online.

There was a Marquette pennant hanging in Arnold's (but not for the entire series).  That's about it.

A sweet memory of Fourex was one girl I dated who thought that was the size! Given my shortcomings, I assumed that she was not overly experienced.

There was a Marquette mention in a Tom Clancy book.

Yes, I believe one of the main characters, John Clark, his daughter went to Marquette.  The Character Jack Ryan is a Boston College grad and I think character Jack Ryan, Jr. might be too.  I guess Tom Clancy has a thing for the Jesuit universities.

Bob Newhart Show, November 1976.  Bob wants to go to the Loyola/Marquette basketball game. Emily is not interested but a Bob goes with his old college friend instead.  Impressive that Bob chose MU over Suzanne Pleshette.

That was probably a Bob Newhart / Peter Bonerz thing. 

Props to Bonerz.  Saw him in Chili after a MU awards thing about 20 years ago.  I think he threw crackers.

Yep. Season 5, episode 6. Everybody but Donna takes a visit to UW, while Donna's dad insists she go to Marquette instead.

That is because Donna is the smartest person on the show. :-)
