Velazquez on leave, back in two weeks

[muwarrior69]

I know (I think?) everybody is just having fun with the suggestions that Matt buy his new baby a Marquette outfit or that he name him/her after our heroes, but I'll say this anyway:

I would be quite disappointed in him if he did anything close to any of that. He is a journalist -- and, it seems, a good one -- not a fan.

I love the coverage we're getting from Matt. We need it to continue. What we don't need is another cheerleader.

He can still do that and not be a cheerleader. The two are mutually exclusive.

Marquette if a girl?

As long as the she isn't ever planning a trip to Italy.  My italian friends always get a kick out of my Marquette gear.

Marquette if a girl?

Rumor on the street is they had a baby girl this morning, and the first three letters of her name are "Mar".

Mariela Grace was born at 8:36 a.m. She weighs 8 lbs 3 oz & is 20.5 inches. She & mom are great — I'm thrilled, too.

Congrats Matt!
