On the shores of LAKE MICHIGAN north of the CITY with BIG SHOULDERS...CHICAGO, Illinois.....it is BEER TOWN USA Milwaukee Wisconsin. Home of MILLER BREWERY Company, FEAR the DEER the NBA's BUCKS, the BREW CREW, Harley-Davidson World Headquarters, and of course....the MARQUETTE GOLDEN EAGLES formerly known as the Marquette WARRIORS and Blue and Gold Candy-Striped Uniforms with the jersey hanging out.
Former Head Coach Tom CREAN, who received his SQUEEZE the ORANGE Cred from IZZONE and SPARTY Lead Man Tom IZZO, got the ball rolling with the ONe and Only WADE COUNTY Dwayne WADE of the Miami Heat. Then after WADE there were BALLERS like Wes MATTHEWS Jr. of the BLAZERS, Jerel McNEAL, Steve NOVAK, and Lazar HEYWARD to name a few. Now under Coach BUZZ Williams the Program has not skipped a beat.
The GOLDEN EAGLES now are in the SWEET 16 and they have just the same amount of Firepower they have always had and the BIG EAST Player of the Year in CUSTODIAN Jae CROWDER of Villa Rice GEORGIA and Half Point Guard Half Sniper Darius JOHNSON-ODOM. The Golden Eagles are a #3 seed and beat the BYU Cougars in Round #2 and the talented Murray State RACERS in Round #3 to advance to the SWEET 16.
As for Coach Buzz WILLIAMS, who alway has a nice mix of Talented Top 100 High School Players (case in point #1 Marquette Recruit for 2012 Steve TAYLOR from Class 4A Illinois STATE Champion Chicago Illinois SIMEON HS) and Big-Time Junior College Players such as JOHNSON-ODOM (Hutchison CC Kansas) and CROWDER (HOWARD CC Texas). This is COACH WILLIAMS 2nd Head Coaching Job as the University of New Orleans BUCCANEERS was his 1st Head Coaching Job. Probably his best Assistant's Job was in College Station with the AGGIES and Head Coach Billy GILLESPIE.
WILLIAMS has done more than a yeoman's job in BEER TOWN USA he has solidified the GOLDEN EAGLES as a Top Flight Major and a POWER in the BIG EAST. The Late Great Al McGuire has to be overwhelmed looking down at his WARRIORS/GOLDEN EAGLES as are former Marquette Greats Dwayne WADE, Glenn DOC RIVERS, BUTCH Lee, the late great MO Lucas, Tony SMITH, and BO Ellis.
If you have the GOLDEN EAGLES dancing all the way to the BIG EASY in NEW ORLEANS it wouldn't surprise me and a real good choice with your DUCKETTS or HOUSE MONEY.
