Kolek planning to go pro
I mean, I can blame the marketing department for a lot of things, but they can't do much about UW renting out a venue. The game is sold out. The crowd will be hyped. What else do they need to do? You save the big promos when you need the crowds. You don't need them today.
So … MU is hosting their biggest rival And, per the ( generic ) emails they send, doing Nothing special for the game. No promos , gold Tshirts… zip Meanwhile, UW has rented out theentire MECCA bar, and the area in front of FF for a big party / tailgate! So we will all have to have this right in our face. A win ( which I expect ) will make this easier to stomachBut as the kids say, the MU “ marketing “ department is TRASH
Idk …I think something like an MU pep rally is a good idea. It’s just annoying that so little is doneHere’s another. They “ honor “ George Thompson, which is great , at the Baylor game, but they don’t promote it to anyone, they don’t give out thewhite Tshirts/ jerseys to the crowd, or even just the students. It’s like a Bulls rally before a playoff game last year. I don’t think the Bucks would let that happen
...and how many of those are Badgers? Could it be what WinTrust is to us Fiserv is to the Badgers? I live way out of state so I have really no idea.
So much for "MU vs UW isnt a rivalry", "You guys care more about this game than we do".If they didnt care why rent out bars by the home arena?
Because they have a lot of alumni in the Milwaukee area. Let’s not overthink this.
I would guess around 15%.
MECCA Bar???I walked in there about 9:45 pm Tuesday, coming from the Baylor game, to watch the end of the Wake Forest/Badger game. It was about the 7:00 minute mark of the second half of a 2 point game. At the 5:00 minute mark the bar gave "last call" and with 2:00 minutes left in a 1 point game, they shut off EVERY TV in the place and threw everyone ( approx 25 people) out!!!!As far as I'm concerned, MECCA Bar doesn't know it's ass from a hole in the ground when catering to a sports oriented crowd, and I'd never go back after that boneheaded move ( especially when there are 20-25 other bars on 3rd Street and Water Street).
Yes pep rallies are cheap to run and pump up the students and other attendees. They should make a big deal of games like th8s because…. It 8a MORE fun to do so than to not. That 8s part of the student &. Experience, in terms of renting a bar out, who is paying for the MECCA bar? UW? That would be a lot of liability. But if alumni do it then that’s a different story, Could be organized by school like !au does . Did for the DePaul games in Chicago. That was always fun - party before the game. Or the multiple venues that w ere set up when we played for the elite 8 in phoenix years back.Yes MU should make big games FUN for the students, and alumni who help keep things going.
I've heard that place absolutely sucks.
Every Deer District place absolutely sucks.
Is Mader's considered the Deer District? The used to have good beer on tap.
Last year the team watched the tournament selection show from Mecca.If they do that this year, shame on them. Patronize a place owned/managed by Marquette alums.
I think they were giving Morsell or Lewis NIL $ too, iirc.
Yep I’m here and yea the service sucks.I came because my buddy already had a table, and I wasn’t going to shy away because it’s UW fans.They can kiss my arse
F*ck ‘em
