It's FINALLY Basketball Season

It's what we have all been waiting for.

It's FINALLY Basketball Season

You know that feeling you get when you see a puppy? Or when you see a cute little kid? Or how about the feeling you get when you get really good news? Well…I have NEWS FOR YOU! It is FINALLY basketball season!

I feel like most people do not understand the struggle of going to a school without a football team. At Marquette, we only have one major sport. It is basketball. So when basketball season rolls around I, like many of you, feel like a kid in the candy store!

I mean who doesn't love food, friends, a winning team and MARQUETTE BASKETBALL?!

With the exhibition game on Monday, November 9, and the first game on Friday, November 13, I am confident in saying I will not be too focused on school this week… Why? BECAUSE IT IS BASKETBALL SEASON!

So let’s think about the upcoming season. We have six returning players, and a roster of 14 guys. This season we have one of the Big-East's best recruiting classes. The new kids on the block: Henry Ellenson, Sacar Anim, Traci Carter, Hannif Cheatham, Christian Haffner, Matt Held, Cam Marotta, and Andrew Rowsey. The old guys: Sandy Cohen, Wally Ellenson, Luke Fischer, Jajuan Johnson, Michael Mache, and Duane Wilson. Of these 14 guys, we have a very young team with nine underclassmen. With a very young team, there is room to be nervous. However, because of our new recruits and our returning players, I think we are going to have a FANTASTIC year!

Along with having a very optimistic outlook on this upcoming season, there are many other reasons to be excited about Monday!

First and foremost, being at the Bradley center…watching the pre-game video, and chanting “We are Marquette” for the first time this season, is single-handedly going to be one of the best feelings ever. Maybe even better than seeing those cute little puppy videos.

Also, you get to watch sports, hang out with friends, and cough, cough, watch the dance team. Not biased at all. But the point is: BASKETBALL SEASON IS HERE!

I have never been in the student section because I am out on the court, but the student section pumps me up! Watching the student section after a winning game is crazy. I'm sure most of you know the feeling I am talking about. It is an awesome feeling being about the Marquette community, seeing confetti flying and people cheering during Marquette basketball games.

WE ARE MARQUETTE! Get ready... Let's have a great upcoming season!

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
