Two years.  I just don't believe it.  Either you are not really an MU fan, she is not a real ND fan, or you made the whole thing up.  Not a chance that you made it through 2 bball seasons with ND making Elite Eight and Mu making tourney without figuring this out.  Could not have happened.  Calling BS.

I married a Badger grad.

She consistently knows more about MU ball now.

Marquette folks need to get over their Notre Dame inferiority complex.

Penis envy is never attractive.

Lots of people around here were rejected by ND and have yet to get over it, right Chili.

Accepted at ND.   Accepted at Michigan.    Chose MU.

As a veteran of a mixed marriage I can provide some feedback. One of the key's in my opinion, is that they are actually an educated sports fan vs someone who "grew up" a fan or a bandwagon fan who couldn't name 2 players on the roster. Nothing would drive me insane faster than if I was having a debate with a significant other who knew nothing about the team but was telling me how great they are. If she can't name more than 3 players on the roster but has to wear the gear all the time and rub it in your face GTFO.

Now my wife is a saint because I am an unabashed hater of all things Wisconsin, including football (as a PSU fan) so she has to put up with my derogatory comments all the time. Classic example:

Casual kitchen conversation while we're making lunch
Wife character: How old do you think Owen needs to be before he goes to a UW spring football game?
Me: I dunno, whatever age he is when I'm cold and dead
Wife character: ......So, I shouldn't get you a ticket?

And she openly cheers for MU at all times other than when playing UW.

So bottom line, at least for me, she has to love sports, know them, and be able to put up with all of my competitiveness. And you have to have some teams you can agree on, if we weren't both Packer/Brewer fans I think it'd be a disaster.

*I'd argue Badger-MU marriages are way worse than ND-MU marriages because with ND you theoretically have more in common (private school, religion, lack of true rivalry in the last 15 years) the Badgers are a sworn and eternal enemy who are not worth our respect.

If it didn't come up in 2 years, she and her family can't be particularly die-hard ND fans. More than likely, they're not alums and of the "football bandwagon" variety. If that's the case, I'm guessing she can be easily turned into a Marquette fan and, if Wojo does his job, her family probably could be too. Really, it's all in Wojo's hands now.

How many people who applied at MU applied at ND, etc? Granted I'm not catholic nor come from a catholic family or have attachment to ND but ND was no where near my radar.

Applied and was accepted to MU, Wisconsin, PSU, and MIT...went to MU.

I was raised right. No ND application for me. I got in at BC and GTWN so I assume I would have gotten in at ND too. Always knew I was going to Marquette.

A Warrior begot a Warrior in my case (Dad was MU 55). Dad was a proud alum who sent four of his six children to Marquette. Three of the four Marquette grads married Warriors and stayed within the faith.

Had no interest in ND. Yes, their football was alluring in those days but having gone to a Catholic grade school and Catholic High School (named the "Irish" even though their colors were purple and white and most of the Catholics were more often than not not of Irish decent), Notre Dame was jammed down our throats -- kinda like being a priest. After awhile, it became background noise, just like Notre Dame.

In retrospect, I've found in the professional world that few schools take care of their own as well as Notre Dame does. You hire a Domer and I think they are trained to take over. Within a month, you have dozens more Domer resumes. That's impressive and, candidly, I've generally been impressed with Domer grads.

Went to a Catholic/Jesuit high school. Applied to/accepted at MU, ND, Holy Cross, Georgetown. Eliminated ND and Holy Cross (all boys like my high school) and Georgetown (too far from the girlfriend I was broken up with by Thanksgiving). That left Marquette - lucky me!!!

Ha. I knew I would get called on that but that was record time. But, the split pea green certainly makes a  phlegm-ridden sputum of a statement. Looked good on Cooley, though.

Great actually, I finish up classes next week and have three Skype interviews over the next few weeks and have a month with a sports media company in July. Thanks for asking.

Whilst reading your post, I also came up with color and colour and theater and theatre.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
