McGuire biopic coming

[cheebs09]

You have to at least call Billy Donovan.

He's really good in the play, but if they're doing a biopic they shouldn't pick a 70-year-old actor who would presumably have to play Al in his 40s.

Ah yeah.  Forget how fast these years go lol

Luke Kirby works for me.  Even though he's Canadian...

Al was or is the best. He introduced me to Crean and Harbaugh and many other kind things.
Am in talks about investing if anyone wants to invest let me or someone know.
In the Video above they say Bradley Cooper could not do it.
Saw the Al McGuire play with Anthony Crivello many times. It was awesome.
I suggested Hugh Jackman but heard Thursday the film is going with Luke Kirby as a great resemblance and fit.

Here we are MU Scoop Hanging At The AL.
Al, George Thompson, I and others were at Panera Bread trying to convince AL to do the AL MCGUIRE CENTER and AL Statue. Said to AL You should do it and call it The "AL" like the "Jake" in Cleveland. AL smiled at me and seemed to like the idea. We helped convince him.

George Thompson was another kind man. George bought us all drinks in Minneapolis when Marquette beat Kentucky to go to the Final Four.

AL also introduced me to his Son Allie McGuire again but I already knew Allie and our lockers ended up being next to each other for 15 Years at Westmoor.
