I have a man crush on Al McGuire, the basketball coach that lead Marquette to its only national championship.

First off, I wanted to address Fran Fran's frothing of the mouth about Jordan Hamilton.
I don't think he's watched Texas play more than a handful of times so he doesn't understand the problems our team has with scoring the ball in the halfcourt.
