Bring the kids! Don't be late! Hurry, hurry!

For those of you who aren't Chicago-area Marquette alumni and therefore haven't had the following email sent to you by Chicago Alumni Association for the last several weeks, I thought I'd share it in the hope that you find it as silly as I do.

Celebrate the Marquette Basketball Greats as the Bulls take on the Pacers and the Heat!
Join the Marquette Club of Chicago to watch the Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat (Dwyane Wade!) and Indiana Pacers (Travis Diener!) Also support new Bulls coach Jim Boylan, a member of the 1977 MU Championship team. Hurry, tickets are going fast!

No, really! You can't miss this! Watch as Jim Boylan paces the sidelines and pretends to wield influence over the game, as NBA coaches are wont to do!

Chicago Bulls vs. Indiana Pacers January 23, 2008
United Center
7:30 p.m.
Watch Travis Diener, former Marquette University and current Indiana Pacers basketball player.

Watch Travis Diener--or as he teammates call him, Travis DieNP--play with the zipper on his warmup jacket, and pray for the Pacers to take a thirty point lead so that you might see him shoot 1-for-3 in garbage time!

Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat February 14, 2008
United Center
7 p.m.
Cheer for Dwyane Wade, 2006 NBA Finals MVP and former Marquette University basketball player.

There's almost a 45% chance that he'll actually be healthy enough to suit up! You can't pass up those odds!

$66 per person

Totally worth it!
