It's a long off season, even if we're just marking time until Marquette's soccer teams begin defending their division titles in August. We're going to have to come up with some way to entertain ourselves, and this is one of them. Each week, we'll feature a Marquette related tweet that struck our fancy. It might be someone saying something ridiculous, maybe it'll be a link to the MU Director of Marketing and Sales getting fired up about 5 game ticket packages (it's not, but this is), or who knows what. All we can guarantee is that it will be entertaining.
Let's hit the jump for this week's tweet!
Once I saw this news come across Twitter, it was just a matter of figuring out which tweet I wanted to use. Luckily for us, you came through. And by "you," I mean Joe McCann.
Congrats to @stevenovak20 on his new deal. He makes #mubb proud! Now can we PLEASE invite him to the 3-point shootout at the All-Star Game?

The tweet refers to Steve Novak's new contract with the Knicks, which, according to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski, will pay Novak $15 million over the next 4 seasons. Combine Novak's breakout season with the Knicks and his ferocious 47.2% 3 point shooting rate, I think it has to be a no brainer to put the former Marquette great in the All Star Weekend competition.
