Had a couple sign ideas for the ND game on Saturday. I was thinking "Our football team could beat yours" and then maybe underneath that "undefeated since 1957" (I think that was the last year we had a team, I would have to research first). First off what is the Bradley Center's policy on bringing in signs? Secondly do you guys have any other suggestions/what do you think of that one?
Also I was trying to think of something for the Louisville game but could not think of anything humorous that was still clean enough to not get taken away. Any other suggestions? Thanks.
Gody sucks on the hardwood.
ND is french for our B****
MU's final season of gridiron glory was 1960. (sniffle, sniffle).
isn't there a much more important game to think about tonight?
Someone with photoshop skills needs to put Pitino's head on the body of this other guido. Then someone needs to run to Kinkos and get it blown up and mounted on poster-board.
I'm looking forward to the "Karen Sypher *clap* *clap* *clap-clap-clap*" chants this evening :)

These are pretty inspired. Nice job.
A classic is : "Notre Who?"
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not sure how many of those will be allowed. Does anyone though know the policy about bringing a sign into the game?
Assuming you are a student, as long as its clean it can be brought in.

I'm all for mocking Pitino, the restaurant incident, etc. tonight. Just hope the fans are careful and not dig too far into the paying for the abortion thing.
Argue all you want on the politics/morality of abortion, etc., but I think trying to make a humorous situation out of an abortion (regardless of circumstance) is probably not a good idea, particularly for students/alumni/fans of a Catholic university at a nationally televised sporting event.
Now go ahead and flame away at me. ;)

She didn't marry the equipment manager until after the incident, she didn't even know who he was and then she married the guy 6 months later.

Let's not let facts get in the way of a good time.
wait, let me get this strait, Karen Cypher or whatever her name is, married Pitino's equipment manager after the incident? or after it came out publicly
Haha. Some if these are great. I'll be in the student section so keep a look out. I might do one of the "Thou shalt ..." or the character sign. I kind wanted to stay away from the who affair thing though because I thought those would instantly get taken away. I guess it depends on if I can find some posterboard and stuff before I leave for the game. Keep the ideas coming though.

I think MU fans going over the top makes us look a lot worse than he does.

Outstanding. Get it done.
Does anyone know what it costs to make one of those big heads? It can't be that expensive. I'm still surprised we don't see more "unofficial" big heads every game.
If we had Google Image search back in the day, my buddies and I would be spending the afternoon with a case of beer pasting four different Sypher faces on cardboard in anticipation of tonight's game.
I blame today's students. No spirit at all.

Use a Poster Printer (http://posterprinter.sourceforge.net/) utility and any color printer you can get your hands on. It's not going to be the best quality to bring it to games year after year, but the only cost will be the price of poster board.

Speaking of going over the top, Pitino went over the top of the restaurant table.

After said incident
Does Rick Pitino have to choke a bit**
I know this isn't a popular position, but I'd prefer we show some class and stay out of the gutter.

Wouldn't the "non-gutter" move, so-to-speak, be to refuse Pitino entry to the B.C.
Pitino is a no class, poor-excuse-for-a-human scumbag who doesn't deserve a teddy bear and lemonade welcome, and hopefully the children won't be soiled by the presence of his degenerate soul. They say sinners go to hell; it just so happens that the BC is going to be hell for a night to Pitino and his bunch.

Caption it "Pitino can flat out f**k."
Me and Shooter are making the "Postgame at Porcinis?" sign. Keep an eye out.
bringback- that one guy took your idea..oh well. "Postgame at Porcinis? is a good sign too. <<look for GREENMAN

Skatastrophy, you have referred to the guy in this photograph as a "guido."
This does not strike you and others here as an ethnic slur that is blatantly derogatory, especially among a group of educated men and women.
"Someone with photoshop skills needs to put Pitino's head on the body of this other guido."
That is one of the most outrageous comments I have ever read here, especially given that it has not generated a single objection.

Really. That's the most offensive thing you have read in this thread?
I think you need to recalibrate your offensive-meter.

MUEng92, I wrote that the "guido" line is "one of the most outrageous comments I have ever read here. ..."
You have misquoted me badly.
MUfan12, my deal is what? To "show outrage at the at times innocuous, and at other times only mildly offensive."
I cannot even pretend that I understand what you have written.
"Post-game drinks at Porcini?" poster has been made. Expect to see it being held by greenman.
I guess I just assumed by the way you commented that you were offended. To be honest I am still not sure how a person wouldn't read it that way. Oh well, sorry if you were offended by my assumption that you were offended. On to more important things.
Louisville sucks but Pitino Syphers.
They keep taking signs. When should I bring out my "postgame drinks at porcinos"
sign?
Can anyone find a stat of the total minutes Lazar and Jimmy have been on the bench at the same time this year?
slick rick!
Hide the Waffle House waitresses- Rick's in town
I made a sign that said "Pitino: Cash won't keep us quiet." Well enjoyed by the people around me in the student section, but it got taken away from me right after the intros. So did everyone else's in the SS. Boo Bradley Center or ESPNU or whoever it was.

Sign was made. Sign was brought to game. Sign was well displayed in first box of student section. Sign was prominently shown and liked by all in front box. Sign was flown during Louisville pre-game warm-ups. Sign was taken away immediately afterward, along with about 15 other signs.
I got an Al McGuire bighead out of the whole experience though so I'm happy.
Other signs taken away:
Two U of L players are in a car. Who's Driving?? THE COPS!

I was standing in the row infront of you on the end
I saw that they were taking away signs very quickly so I waited until the second half to bring mine out. Had mine up for maybe 30 seconds at best until the BC security guards tried to take it away. They told me Marquette said no signs allowed at the game. I doubt this however considering the guy told me to let him see the sign and then told me I couldn't have it (I had the "Post-game drinks @ Porcini?" sign". I tried to make the argument that a sign and a big-noggin were pretty much the same thing except mine was actually funny. He told me to talk to Marquette about it tomorrow. I'm also confused about them taking my sign away considering when I walked in the ticket-scanner told me to get my sign checked by some guy (he had a Marquette shirt on) and he told me I was fine and to move along. I just hope they don't take away our signs on Saturday.

I usually assume that you're comments are feigned outrage, so I ignore them. Since you're attacking an innocuous post (again) I'll give a brief explanation.
Guido stopped being an offensive term 3+ months ago when a TV show called "Jersey Shore" came out on MTV. (http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article7040031.ece) Now I'll agree that if I were in a verbal altercation with an Italian American I wouldn't call them guido because it could be hurtful in that instance. Conversely, using the term as a tongue-in-cheek reference to popular culture is widely accepted.
Now, please don't "whack" me or fashion me a pair of concrete boots over a little mix up, mkay? :P
