MU Basketball Block Party

[Dr. Blackheart]

As we look forward to another exciting season of Marquette basketball, we would like to let you know of a new opportunity to engage with the Marquette basketball program. On Friday, Oct. 9, Marquette Athletics will host Marquette Madness. In addition, the Blue & Gold Fund will host a Block Party prior to Marquette Madness. This FREE event, which is replacing the annual Blue & Gold Fund Fish Fry and Haunted Hoops, includes pay-as-you-go tailgate food, autographs and opportunities to mingle with players, coaches and staff. You'll also hear from Vice President and Director of Athletics Bill Scholl and women's and men's basketball head coaches Carolyn Kieger and Steve Wojciechowski.

Below are all of the details for the Blue & Gold Fund Block Party.

Go Marquette!

Sincerely,

Joe True
Associate Athletic Director – Development

And the end of Haunted Hoops and The Fish Fry as we knew it.  Discuss

Nice!

If they're not selling beer, I'll be selling loose cans from the trunk of my car. Keep an eye out for me.

I look very similar to the handsome version of Bill Murray

Ever consider the acoustics in a parking lot?  Get ready for a SH!T SHOW.

It's a free block party where you can interact with some of the basketball program members.  If it sucks it's free.  If it's anything better than that then great.

I presume that the Fish Fry/Haunted Hoops is a victim (at least for this year) of the scrimmage with Stanford.

[tower912]

Wait.   Basketball can be discussed here?

[AverageJoe]

Too bad.  Haunted Hoops was great for the little ones - much more accessible than Madness.  And prior to last year the players would stay and sign autographs for all the kids.  My children looked forward to it every year.

They are having a remote broadcast so not everyone will go to the Al???

We have a saying in my house: "If it's free, you can't complain about it."

It is about the deep fried fish, people!  Perch or Cod on a Stick?

Scoop needs clarity at times.

Dude you can't go two blocks in Milwaukee without hitting a decent fish fry. 

[ChocolateSauce]

we too have a family saying..
it's out there all right, and if you catch it, see a doctor and get rid of it

Actually, The Al concentric zone may be the exemption. Outrage

[GooooMarquette]

My family doesn't have a saying.

The silent majority....

Thanks.  I'm feeling quite a bit better about my family not having a saying.

We have a saying in my house "Done Deal"

Usually said when exiting the bathroom.

It would appear that they've decided on a capacity number for Madness and once they're out of wristbands, sucks to be you.

[bradley center bat]

Many students just show up to get a t-shirt and poster and leave right away. I hope they don't take a wristband.
