MILWAUKEE, WI — Whether meeting friends at The Ardmore or at a rally near the St. Joan of Arc Chapel, Marquette University basketball fans can use their wireless phones to spread their excitement about the Golden Eagles' coveted spot in the NCAA Final Four. Using Verizon Wireless' TXT Messaging service, fans can send each other messages to gather for a victory march, scope a game-watching spot or arrange a ride to New Orleans for the national semifinals.

Verizon Wireless, the nation's leading provider of wireless communications, offers a TXT Messaging dictionary to make it easier for Golden Eagle fans to communicate about their favorite team or to say "We Are Marquette!"
