The campus community is invited to gather for Mass to remember and pray for the late Marquette University President Michael R. Lovell today at noon in the St. Joan of Arc Chapel.
On the two-year anniversary of his death, President Lovell’s impact continues to be felt across campus and throughout the broader community. As the 24th president in Marquette’s 143-year history and the first layperson to lead the university, President Lovell brought a spirit of innovation and collaboration that reshaped Marquette’s trajectory and strengthened its connections beyond campus. His legacy endures in the partnerships he fostered, the initiatives he championed and the people he inspired.
His continued legacy is also reflected through the Michael R. Lovell Presidential Scholarship program, created in partnership with the Lovell family to support future generations of Marquette leaders. The Lovell Scholars program benefits outstanding students from around the country who are grounded in humility and committed to the same values with which President Lovell lived his life — excellence, faith, leadership and service.
All are invited to gather in prayer for President Lovell and his family and friends, and to remember a dear friend.
Today we remember Brendan Looney. An American hero who embodied everything we hope to be on and off the field. A leader at the Naval Academy, a captain on the lacrosse team, who ultimately gave his life in service to our country as a Navy SEAL in 2010.
The NCAA Final Four has decided its D1 champion on Memorial Day for the last 40 years. Including 2004, when Navy competed for the national title with all 3 Looney brothers on the field. Brendan wore number 40.
Today we honor the men and women who gave everything. Their sacrifice is the reason we get to play, compete, and live with purpose. Brendan would remind us, “Be strong. Be accountable. Never complain.”

starting tmrw night some of the best mens and womens lacrosse players in the world will be competing in olympic sixes (and yes, some of the best pros in the world are also playing in the nll right now and I would encourage you watch that, too). stepping back for a sec…i think in speaking with lacrosse fans. you guys. i keep coming back to the common denominator. we all just love the game. even if we prefer one discipline over another…or if you hate one discipline altogether. there’s one you might love.
we've all played the game. most of us. it’s part of what makes being a lacrosse fan cool. btw the caliber of athlete who plays doesn’t get the credit he and she deserves. it’s a rly hard game to play. and that’s why a lot of people can’t.
those of you who follow hs lacrosse, watch college, root your players and universities on...there’s more. the players who we've been following...they're even better in their 20's. actually ridiculous. the talent in lacrosse right now is insane. ive heard from people who played college lax in the 80s, moved west for work, didn’t see the game for 30 years, and have come back watching a pll game on abc and just go…wtf happened to these players??? i tell them it started at the youth level and has accelerated. 8th graders are shooting 100mph.
here’s good news. if you watch hs or college lacrosse, you might have an espn subscription. the entire championship series tournament. both pll and wll. will be live on espn unlimited...with an all star broadcast crew of anish, ryan and dana.
i'll be there. as a fan. because lacrosse is lacrosse. from a faceoff to offense and defense and goaltending. i know i promote lax in the olympics all the time and you’re probably rolling your eyes but 3 billion people around the world watched the last summer games in paris and over 20 million americans woke up at 8am last sunday to watch usa canada hockey on nbc. I just care about more people seeing this amazing sport. america’s first game. more people will watch it in a couple summers from now than ever before in history. yes, it’s sixes. but at least give it a shot…i think more people, more brands and more support will head towards all formats of the game as a result of la28. from men to women to 10s to box to sixes. and you are leading us in that charge.
so i owe you a thank you. even to everyone at nocontext rbrowny and ghettogarygait. i’m not exclusively beyond meat btw i had a 52 oz tomahawk steak last night w my athletic brew and thought of how much I get made fun of for this and various things. so I washed it down with a whiskey.
being a small part of a game much bigger than me is the honor of a lifetime. hope you enjoy the champ series.
