I'd suggest voting for Cousin Eddie:

Cousin Eddie needs to win that.

This isn't Christmas related, but they need to replace the stolen Jon Lovitz picture and get this made ASAP:

How can one vote for the big heads to disappear forever? They were mildly amusing 4-5 years ago. Now it's just lame. The students should be able to come up with something better.

+1. It seems every school now has them. Time to move on to something else.

What do you want them to be replaced with?

Flares and scarves.

I'd like to have them replaced with a student section who pays attention to the game and has a basic understanding of the game of basketball*. However, if the student section needs a gimmick, then I'd like to see it at least be something that's clever and new and unique to Marquette. Sure, that's an incredibly vague description but I'm a married, father of twin toddlers who lives in the suburbs. My days of being ridiculous and clever have come and gone. I'm assigning this task to the students, who are in their prime ridiculous and clever years.


(* - For the record, the student section wasn't very good during my time at MU either. I'm not going all "it was better in my day" on you.)

As a student I agree that having an basketball savvy fan base would be ideal, but let's face it, it's not happening.

As for gimmicks, I was only half kidding with the flares and scarves bit. Obviously you can't get flares in the BC, but the "official" MU scarf is becoming a lot more prevalent on campus on its own. It's something that no other student section has and if a majority of the student section had them and used them it would look great on the TV.

Plus it makes for super easy features that ESPN loves. I remember them doing a 4 minute bit on IU when Sampson was there because all the students would wear the stupid t shirt with the fake red tie printed on. Easy on to spot and easy to feature.

What about big heads of all the MU guys that are in the NBA and fill the rest in with a bunch of Buzz or Buzz Lightyear?
