====== 1936-1937 Marquette Men's Football ======
The team featured halfback [[Ray Buivid]], who finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting that season, and it mowed down its early competition. 

The Golden Avalanche took down powerhouses of college football including a 33-7 victory over Mississippi, and 13-7 and 12-6 wins over Michigan State and Wisconsin. Marquette topped St. Mary's College of Moraga, Calif., 20-6 before 50,000 at Soldier Field on Oct. 30.  Marquette went 7-1 in the 1936 regular season, earning them a bid to the first ever Cotton Bowl.  

If not for a 13-0 loss at Duquesne, there was talk that the Golden Avalanche could have played in the Rose Bowl.  Instead, Marquette was invited to the first-ever Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Before a sell-out crowd, Marquette fell to "Sammy" Baugh and Texas Christian University 16-6.  They finished the season #20 in the final AP poll.
