-"Joey" "Nater" Nethen earned somewhat of a personal "cult" following of fans, endeared by his punky appearance and tastes in music, at one time sporting a Mohawk, and ever-present combat boots.In the mid to late 80's, MU still had the reputation as being a traditionally "preppy", conservative, Catholic campus. In Nethen's own words, "(I) loved to "entertain" on the court". His bombastic personality on the court, and "bad boy" antics and outlandish fashions off the court, are the stuff of many hilarious (and some disturbing) MU campus "legends".
-Joe Nethen Jr. resides and works in the Milwaukee area, with "(his) soul mate, Linda, a local artist, published poet and writer, and Master-degreed Art Therapist, also equally unconventional. In his sparse free time, Joe enjoys hunting, shooting, fishing, hangin' out, Marquette games, biking, riding his motocycle, the beach, camping, red meat (and lots of it), punk music, coaching kid's basketball, friends and family. He has two sons from his first marriage.
