Playing his college ball at Marquette, George Andrie played his entire 11-year career with the Dallas Cowboys. 

Lavvie Dilweg was a celebrated athlete who played for Marquette before signing with the Milwaukee Badgers in 1926. Unfortunately, the team folded that year. However, Dilweg's career continued as he joined the Green Bay Packers in 1927 and played for them until 1934. Dilweg was considered to be one of the most versatile players of his time, and his peers regarded him as one of the top tacklers and blockers. Although statistics were not well-kept in those days, it is believed he had 27 Interceptions and was a constant behind his opponent’s line of scrimmage; Dilweg was also a decent offensive player, using his quickness to evade tacklers. He helped his team win three consecutive NFL Championships (1929, 1930 & 1931).

Dilweg was named to the 1920s All-Decade Team and was a First-Team All-Pro for five consecutive years (1927 to 1931). Despite these accolades, he was never even nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which is considered a curious omission to many. While some Green Bay fans champion other players for the Hall of Fame, Lavvie Dilweg is the biggest snub. However, the fact that he was named a Finalist by the Centennial Slate Class offers a little hope for the future, though not much.

Maurice Lucas played college basketball for Al McGuire at the University of Marquette leading the team to the finals of the 1974 NCAA tournament.  Lucas led the Warriors with 21 points and 13 boards in a loss to North Carolina State and future ABA-NBA superstar David Thompson.  Chosen high by both the NBA and ABA in their drafts, Lucas decided to go play in the newer ABA.  He had two solid years in the ABA and when the league merged with the NBA he was selected number two in the dispersal draft of players by the Portland Trail Blazers.  Portland had traded two solid veterans for a chance to get Lucas and Coach Jack Ramsey quickly made him their power forward playing next to their franchise player Bill Walton.  The Blazers gelled quickly and made an improbable run through the playoffs in their first season after the merger.
