The highlights include...

• 18 Conference games, up from 16 last season
• The Wisconsin game being played at night for once.
• At least 12 appearances on National Television, making it easy for alums in say...St. Louis, MO to watch.
• Sadly, no rumored non-conference matchup with Saint Louis U, which is a shame because Marquette and new SLU Coach Rick Majerus go together like Rick Majerus and doughnuts.
• Home-and-homes with Seton Hall, Louisville, and Notre Dame, which should really stoke the flames of that Marquette-Seton Hall rivalry. It's just like Duke-Carolina, except with fans that don't care.
• A seemingly totally out-of-place March matchup with Florida Gulf Coast University, a school that is younger (founded 1991) than its players.
• The suspension and hopefully the eradication of the Blue and Gold Classic. MU says that Maine backed out of the event, but IUPUI and Florida Gulf Coast still wanted in. When Maine turns down the tournament, it's time to pull the plug on a tournament that in recent years even Marquette couldn't get up for (losses to Winthrop and North Dakota State).
• In-State games with UW-Milwaukee and Wisconsin on back-to-back weekends
• Thrilling matchups against BOTH Indiana University-Purdue University schools.
• Unless you really care if the all-time series between UWM and Marquette is 35-0 Marquette or 34-1 Marquette, there's really no reason to show up at the Bradley Center untill 2008.

Stop on by and see selected members from the YCS staff at most of these games. You won't recognize us, but that's OK, because odds are, we won't recognize you either.
