Same with me. Really feeling old. Marquette also first team I followed. Was a big deal as a kid going on a bus to the ARena and seeing George Thompson play. He was only about 6 2 but like Ric could jump out of the gym. He dunked the ball which became illegal the last year or two of college career as the NCAA instituted the stupid Alcindor rule and actually banned dunking for a time. Hit me when George recently passed...earliest memory was as a little kid going to a sports banquet where Al McGuire spoke and two of his players were there signing autographs, Bob Wolf and Tom Flynn....pre even his crambled eggs team. That is really going back in time.....

As I told the late Don Walker when there was all the inane talk of the Bucks bulldozing the Arena, between the Bucks and Marquette we practically NEVER lost at home. It feels like the combined winning percentage was about 85%!!!!

When people ask me, "What was it like to win at the Arena? It must have been raucous!" I tell them, "I have practically no idea what it was like to lose!"

Shaka Smart is tailor-made for basketball schools. He's just such a great motivator. What a grand-slam hire by MU!
