With offense to OnMilwaukee.com intended, we're doing a Top 100 list. Why? For the same reason OnMilwaukee.com does them: they're an easy, cheap, half-a**ed way to get pageviews.
"Hey everybody, look! We made a list and you're on it!"
This list is compiled of some of our favorite people on Twitter. Since we're (allegedly) a Marquette Basketball blog, it leans heavily on Marquette athletics. But other cool Milwaukee and Wisconsin people are on this list, too. We don't discriminate.

Marquette Basketball Links:
I'm going to try a slightly different format for the MU Links. Let me know what you think.
Darnell Harris, a Milwaukee kid is headed to Texas to play for Christian Life Center Academy. He is interested in playing for Buzz, but has academic issues.
"Darnell will need to work hard academically to qualify," Jenkins said. "That's not to say he couldn't have done it here. But, down there, the academic focus is very intense."
As always, Mark Miller has a bit more in-depth analysis:
In the past, players such as Johnnie Lacy of Milwaukee Bay View and Calvin Godfrey of Milwaukee Custer have left the Milwaukee Public School System for prep schools, but the numbers have never approached the extent of this year. Indeed, the 2010-11 season may go down as the "Year of the Export." Coaches in the Milwaukee City Conference are rightfully concerned about the disturbing trend.
Big East Tournament, not changing formats. Buzz says:
“The equity that I’ve built certainly lacks in comparison to the ADs and presidents in our league,” Marquette coach Buzz Williams said. “If that’s what they said it’s going to be, that’s what we’ll do.“I think there’s probably value in how it was originally formatted. I think there was wisdom in the potential change. Everybody has a different thought on it."
Don Walker asks What can What can a Big East Network do?
"We think Big East schools that play football and basketball can generate around $15.2 million a year in revenue, while the schools that only play basketball can generate around $7.5 million in revenue," Nelson said.
Any doubt as to why Buzz Williams left New Orleans? Doubt no more.
With a year left on his own contract, Pasternack needs to find an entirely new team, capable of competing as a D-I Independent, by the time classes start on Aug. 23 -- without being able to offer any scholarships. He'll repeat the same four words all summer, on the phone, in gyms in three states and on the way into a Target store to buy a BlackBerry charger to keep calling people about prospects; in his office at UNO, in his living room in Old Metairie, and at a new-age Cajun dinner before ordering a shrimp-and-alligator sausage cheesecake appetizer: "We've gotta get players."
DJO is happy that classes are starting.

As many of you may have heard, Turner Restaurant will be closing next week. As our pre and post game haunt for years, Turner will be sorely missed. In order to properly send off this treasure I have re-written a portion of "The Big Lebowski" script to honor this Marquette basketball landmark. Enjoy the send off after the jump and please leave your favorite Turner memories in the comments section.

Marquette's Best Case / Worst Case: AE-Style

You may have noticed that ESPN is running their "Best Case / Worst Case" series for the different college basketball conferences right now. Yesterday, it was the BIG EAST's turn at the plate. I'm not about to engage in a systematic breakdown of the entire thing, primarily because I think it's one of the sillier, fence-straddling exercises I've ever seen: by my count, the "Best Case Scenario" for most of the teams involves some variation of: "Hey, everything breaks right, their newcomers play well, and nobody gets hurt, they could be looking at a top four finish in the conference," while the worst case goes roughly along these lines: "They can't replace Guy Who Graduated, and New Guy doesn't fit in, and they slink to the bottom of the conference."
So, in an effort to make this exercise in silliness even sillier, I present Marquette's REAL Best Case / Worst Case Scenario:
BEST CASE SCENARIO
- Marquette comes out the gates like an eagle on greenies, laying waste to the non-conference competition in the first two months of the season. MU embarrasses Duke in the championship of the CBE Classic, and Coach K interrupts Coach Buzz's post-game presser to ask for his autograph, and later declines to offer J.P. Tokoto a scholarship, explaining that Marquette is the ONLY place for an elite-level guard.
- In December, Marquette beats UW-Madison by 35, Coach Buzz empties the bench for the entire second half -- except for Vander, who plays all 40 minutes and scores 48 points on 23-for-23 shooting. Also: Bo Ryan suffers an attack of acute rodent-ia after the game and has to be carried to the locker room, where Todd Rosiak confronts him with evidence that none of the Badgers has attended a single session of the Advanced Agricultural Journalism class in which they're all enrolled. Bo resigns in shame, and choppers out of the Bradley Center parking lot, Nixon-style.
- Jamail Jones actually turns out to be the player you'd get if you put Chuck Person, Landon Donovan, Ahman Green, and Jamiroquai in a blender.
- Dwyane Wade buys the restaurant inside Turner's, has the place up and running before the season tips off, installs Mr. McCarter as a puppet dictator, and shows up to run the bar for the grand re-opening, where he buys me a brandy Old Fashioned and mashes up the cherry and orange in the bottom of the glass, just the way I like it.
- Just for good measure: Marquette wins every conference game, every conference tourney game, and makes a run to the Final Four, so Smarmy Tom Crean's banner isn't the most recent FF banner hanging in the rafters of the Bradley Center.
- In a stunning upset, Jae Crowder secures the Republican nomination for Wisconsin's Senate seat, then blanks Senator Russ Feingold, 21-0, in a one-on-one "lightning debate" at The Al.
- DJO becomes my friend on Facebook.
- The Big East has to split the newcomer of the year award between Vander, Jones, Crowder, and Reggie Smith.
- Soft Pretzel With Cheese spells Chris Otule's name correctly.
WORST CASE SCENARIO
- Marquette loses to all the hyphenated UW schools. In a related item: I have to buy season tickets to UWM games just to get the UWM-Marquette ticket.
- Vander quits at midseason and joins his buddy Jeronne Maymon at Tennessee.
- Marquette loses to DePaul. Again.
- Chris Otule breaks again.
- The always impeccably attired Jay Wright steals my wife.
- Indiana is good.
That's my list. What's yours?

This excellent article from the always excellent Mark Miller is quite disturbing. I am becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the murkiness around college basketball recruiting.

Then read Luke Winn's latest article -- things haven't improved a bit since before Coach Buzz was hired.
