Oso planning to go pro

I'm not saying it couldn't be done, but I'm pretty sure it won't be.
Zero. Chance. Not sure why they'd set themselves up for guaranteed failure.
Why even try this? They have literally put a gold tshirt on every chair in the past and still couldn't pull off a gold out.Now they expect it to work with 1) people bringing their own shirt and 2) people knowing what color shirt to bring? I'm guessing more than 50% of ticket holders don't even know they are doing this.And to the gold looks bad on me crowd, didn't they also try a baby blue out which went equally as bad?
I don't think the athletic department is incompetent, I just think this kind of stuff doesn't work well with our fan base. We're more like herding cats than a single unified pack of cattle.
This would be a great idea, if they supplied the shirts. No chance this is going to work.
I noticed that at least two of the sections where the visiting fans get tickets (right behind X bench and upper bowl southwest corner) were in the Navy sections, so even the X fans helped out stripe out. I'm going to give Athletics the benefit of the doubt and say it was intentional.
I was absolutely wrong. Said as much on Twitter last night, guess I didn't get over here. Great job by Marquette on the striping. Though in the future, I'd leave the navy blue out. Those sections turned out fine, but it doesn't really pop like the light blue or gold.
My best guess is that the compliance in the lower bowl was 85%, and 75% in the upper bowl. Student section was was at least 90%.
Let's not get carried away. Look at the photo dsfire posted. The foreground section in the photo was supposed to be championship blue, but maybe 50% of the folks in the photo complied - there is a mix of navy, gold, red(!) and others. The navy and gold sections were better.Probably would have been better to stick with just alternating gold and navy, as I suspect most people don't have a ton of championship blue gear.
Hahah that looks better than I would have expected. Great idea...decent execution, but better game and victory.
thats the student section. They all have freebies from before.
Yeah, it was OK. I'd say the compliance was around 70% or so, so it kinda worked.
I thought it wasn't going to work. I was...
