Marquette Is Yuengling

Buzz Williams might be my favorite coach not named Steve Lavin. He wears fancy clothes, is an interesting fella during interviews and always has his team prepped to play. In fact, Marquette might be one of the more underrated programs in the entire nation. They continually play good during the regular season and even have an honest run in the NCAA Tournament from time to time.
Yuengling is a staple among lager drinkers. Here, in the Northeast, people don’t ask for a Yuengling. They ask for a lager and they receive the Yuengling in return. Somehow, though, people take for granted the quality beer every time they discuss their beer of choice. It is like Yuengling is the girlfriend you already have, who happens to be super hot and smart, but you keep looking for something better.
Like Yuengling, Marquette is hot, smart and there does not happen to be many programs any better than the Buzz Williams led Golden Eagles.
