You can still smoke everywhere, people will just tell you to put it out or ticket you more often than before!

Woke mob

It was.  You could smoke everywhere. 

MU students will never know the joy of walking through a cloud of secondhand smoke to enter McCormick Hall.

I missed it.  Ty.

I was a HS junior in Connecticut in 1976-77, and Marquette was not yet on my radar as a possible destination. Pretty much everything I knew about the school, the Warriors and Al McGuire came from the few games a season that were on national TV and the occasional Sports Illustrated mentions. I learned a lot more during the NCAA Tournament.

MU was the defending national champion when I decided to go there, and "we" were expected to make another Final Four run in 1978. I proudly wore my Marquette t-shirt and hat to school the day before the NCAAT started. Then the Warriors promptly lost to Miami of Ohio, and my buddies trash-talked me for weeks ... as if I had anything to do with the loss. Thanks a lot, Jerome Whitehead!

Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to seeing the various celebrations of and tributes to the 1976-77 Warriors. That must have been an incredible time to have been a Marquette student.

It wasn't Whitehead it was the idiot referee.

You could still buy cigarettes at McCormick Hall from a cigarette machine in 1988-1989.

Same except replace, 78 with 2009, Miami of OH with Mizzou, and Whitehead with Lazar.

no disrespect to Maurice Acker, but that's a FF team if Dominator Dominic James doesn't break his foot.
