I just got the email that I'm sure many of you got....fans are "encouraged" to wear gold on Saturday.

I thought for a gold out or something coordinated to this level we typically gave away a free shirt? This seems really half a$$ed....I have gold to wear, but there's no way you're going to get more than 50% of the crowd wearing one color unless you include a freebie. Otherwise what is the point?

Would you rather fund Shaka's bonus or get another Gruber Law rag? No $$$ in the MUAD bank.

This made me laugh.

I'm sure I just got spoiled during the late Crean years. Every other game was a giveaway: T shirts, bobbleheads, towels, etc. Just seemed that happened way more back then. And those were good teams....NCAA every year and most often we were ranked - so its not like we HAD to do it to get butts in seats. And we were paying Crean a lot then too.

I don't need a shirt. But I just feel like, if you want everyone to wear the same color, you have to make it easy on them.

I thought this was a shot at Ben not being available for the game or something.

You can find a way to fund all, hey?

A lot of people bitched about no free shirt for the National Marquette Day stripe out and it was the best one I can remember at Marquette.

Supply chain issues?

I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how well we’ve done the stripe out without having free shirts.

We are an intelligent fan base. The Harvard of Southeastern Wisconsin, if you will.

I thought this was about Ben playing soft during practice and was out for Saturday's game.

If you have a sponsor paying for the giveaways that’s one thing. Many companies have cut back on that spend. A t-shirt minimally these days is $5. So figure from there - it’s real money

So is this thread about the creampuff, Ben Gold, being held out of Saturday's game?

Let’s go, guys!!!

Do I have this correct?

Providence at Uconn tomorrow night. If Providence loses, MU has a two-game lead with three to play. That means Saturday against DePaul is for the BE championship (tie) than Butler or St. John’s for the outright championship.

Our marketing department sucks.

The shirts they'd give away were always way too big for me. I always wore whatever color was needed of my own so it actually fit. I couldn't tell you where any of the shirts from free giveaways ended up.

I think that's more a statement about our country's "nutrition" than our marketing department...
