Yep.  Graduated from Marquette at the ripe old age of -6.
Have some patience, FFS.

I'm sure others also recently got an email from MU Ticket Office pushing 5-game mini-plans.

I couldn't help but notice this:

Mini Plan Games:
Purdue - Wednesday, November 13
North Dakota State - Friday, December 20
Villanova - Saturday, January 4
DePaul - Saturday, February 1
Butler - Saturday, February 9 - National Marquette Day

So, they clearly picked that day due to not being able to read a calendar.

So........


Now that NMD is over, was it the worst day ever as some made it out to be? No fun was had?

I had fun at our watching party, and it seemed the 20 or so other folks had a pretty good time too.

Significantly less than it usually is. People were late/hungover for pregame (and the game), and the crowds dispersed real quick after a massive win. Wasn't a flop though

We have a recent retiree who has made it her mission to create a functioning regional chapter.     She hosted a party for the Seton Hall game, and hosted again yesterday.    Both times, there were 20+ alum and family, but with very little overlap.    We had a room to ourselves with the game on 6 TV's.     Pizza, beer, banter.    It was a good time.   
    I hope she is able to keep building it.

It’ll be pretty embarrassing when we don’t even sell out our own day...

It would have been yes.

While it was listed as a sell out, there's no denying there were a lot of empty seats that usually are filled on NMD

No proof, but strongly suspect that had more to do with the weather rather than the game being on a Sunday, because it had been sold out for days.  It wasn't one of TC's sell outs where we break the attendance by 9 or something.  NMD sold out, despise the fact that many here didn't think it would and had a hissy fit about it.

Bar on 3rd St I went to before the game may have had more Butler fans than MU. Lots of empty seats. Still a good atmosphere but not as fun as a Saturday NMD.

I could deal with a Sunday game, but the 11 AM tip was brutal. Still a good atmosphere, though.

The high water mark for NMD was that Xavier game a few years ago. A 65 degree day leading into a Saturday night NMD. One of the most bonkers crowds I've been a part of.

There were some flurries, but did that really keep anyone from making the trip? The roads didn't get bad until hours later, and even then were never that bad.

It didn't have the same energy and I suspect that MU has reached out to the appropriate BEast powers seeking 'a little help' in future years.  But the university made the best of a not so good situation this year.

The roads were really bad to the north and west.  I live an hour away and was on the fence about going yesterday.  The only reason I ultimately went was because it was the last game of the year my kids could go to.  It was a crappy drive there and a crappier drive home.  Thank goodness the game turned out good.

I know a couple of out-of-towners that hit up a handful of games every year, and always prioritize NMD, that told me that they turned around midway through coming in because of the weather.

Ideally, NMD would be around 2 on a Saturday. I didn't think this year's timing was a big deal, but I'll definitely admit I'd prefer it on a Saturday afternoon. Hopefully that's when it will be next season, and folks will have to find something else to complain about.

Not sure where you went after the game, but 3rd street seemed pretty packed.  There was a line out the door at Buck Bradley's 10 minutes after the buzzer.  I have never had to wait to get in there before.

I mean - it's one o'clock on Sunday afternoon and your team just had a huge victory - of course you are going to celebrate afterwards, especially if you didn't get a chance to pregame.
Have some patience, FFS.

You must have gone to the Butler Inn.

Curious, why do people flock to Buck Bradley’s still? There’s way better food and drinking options.

We left the far north side of Chicago around 8:45. Saw two accidents in Wisconsin on the way up. Went to Water Street after, lots of MU people there. Left for home a little before three, the ride to the state line was pretty awful. Saw at least three spin outs.
In fact two of our group who live west of Milwaukee didn’t come at all, mainly because they had to drive to Madison after the game. One of our friends who lives in the Hartland area took almost as long to get home as we did. So yeah, I am sure some of the no-shows were weather related.
I don’t mind a Sunday, but the 11 am start is the hard part.
