<p>One of the first things I noticed when Al McGuire first came to coach at Marquette in the 60s is that he said tore-nament. Never heard that before and haven’t heard it since that stands out in my memory. Ter-nament around here.</p>

<p>Thank you, spectastic. I am so happy to hear that I speak broadcaster English. And my hometown is in the orange spot over Iowa that you linked.</p>
