I know what I think!

where is the "who cares prn is just trying to kill a dead horse" choice?

PRN- Normally, I'm with ya 100% about the nickname, and from time to time agree about some of Crean's weaknesses as a coach. But this one shows a glaring lack of perspective.

Who cares if they announce a record crowd? Yes, it seems repetitive to set this mark each year. But, perception is huge. Who, outside of the small minority who follow the program as closely as those who read/post on these boards, knows about how often we set a record?

But, I can guarantee this is a selling point to recruits. It is also a tremendous thing to see on a national broadcast. And it is a testament to the growth and support of the program that we can sell out an NBA arena almost as often as the NBA team.

Marquette has no business being in the top 15 nationally in attendance. It is impressive for a private school of our size to draw the way MU does. I would think this would be a point of pride, rather than something to mock.

I tend to agree with PRN on this that I am not sure how we could have "broken" the record so many times over the past couple season.  But, with that being said, I have no problems with it from a marketing perspective.  Either way, this game should be packed and LOUD!!!

I have no problem with them continually setting a new record...but its the caveat they put on it, saying it's a state of Wisconsin record.  It's just an intentional swipe at Bucky that makes me feel small inside.  Shouldn't we be above trying to one up the University of Wisconsin?  We're a NATIONAL University.

Right, Lord knows we wouldn't want a national TV audience hearing that we set the attendance record in the state. You and I know that if UW-Madison had a larger arena, they would set that record, but most people out there don't think it through that much. Does anybody really care? Maybe not. Is it a big deal? Apparently only to people who are against it because they don't like Coach Crean,  but the fact is we are in direct competition with them, and we should do what ever we can to gain an advantage when an opportunity presents itself.

Lets just play one game at Miller Park and then this controversey will be over forever...

(Until UW decides to play at Camp Randall) :)

I'm not knocking our attendance...far from it. We've had stellar attendance for years. I am knocking the fact that we continually fabricate our attendance numbers, particularly when we're on national TV. And I'm knocking the fact that some of the people on this board lap it up like mother's milk!

MODERATORS: Unless there is something offensive in my posts, I'd appreciate if you refrained from providing personal comments within them. 

I agree with PRN.  I think our attendance is great but am tired of how often over the years we've announced that we've now achieved the largest attendance for a bball game in WI history.  Its become a bit ridiculous.

Where did my vote go? I feel disenfranchised.

I'm pretty sure we can't fabricate our attendance numbers ie make them up, there has to be some legitimacy to them even if its creative counting.  Also stadiums have new records set all the time.  I know that the Big House and Beaver Stadium(PSU) are constantly setting records over each other in attendance for football games even though I know for a fact Beaver Stadium hasn't added seats in the last 4 years.

What proof do you have that the numbers are made up?  I'm guessing your hatred of Crean is getting the better of you again.

Lastly, unless it is an out and out lie(which there is zero evidence of) who cares?  It is nothing but a positive to be able to announce we are setting a record on national TV.

That's the point. I believe it is an out and out lie. That's why I care.

i've heard that attendance numbers also include certain staff for the teams as well, that you wouldn't see in the seats.  I think this could include managers, towel boys, cheerleaders, extra security, and even people behind the scenes (thats why you see certain stadiums where the attendance is way over the seating capacity).  Obviously this number itself can vary quite a bit, but again, you would think that we are getting close to the ceiling.  I don't really care either way, as long as it is louder than ever in the BC this weekend, I'll be happy.

What affect does this have on your wellbeing that you care so much?

PRN, you do realize that all teams in all sporting events report the number of tickets sold, right? That's why you have attendance numbers like 7,453 on a major snowstorm night when only 1,569 show up. This isn't something that only Marquette does.

Continually announcing the record attendance is tiresome. However, all it means is that the suite holders were able to squeeze in more people then the last time.

Exactly. It's next to amazing that we draw the crowds that we do. Marquette's total enrollment is only around 10,000, a fraction of what it is at a large state school. And yet we sell out an NBA facility on a regular basis and have a student section that is one of the best in the country. Jay Bilas said last year that Marquette was one of the best places ever for Gameday. If we can't be proud of the large crowds (exaggerated attendance or not) then I don't know what we can be proud of as a program.

PS It's all Crean's fault.

That's the point. I believe it is an out and out lie. That's why I care.

Because Tom Crean is promoting a lie and MUST be stopped!

It's just like MU's "vagueness" with injuries... just more and more Tom Crean lies that are directly impacting the reputation of MU and causing me great angst.

I think everybody should where blue to the game just to show Crean that we aren't mindless drones who follow his every command.

If we sell out, and fill it up to the rafters, why would it not be something to announce?  It is something.  It takes into account the Bucks, the Badgers, history, the Al McGuire era, all of that.  Why not mark occasions when they happen?  I say if it's a record, go ahead and announce it.  With political correctness the way it is nowadays, you can't do much without offending anyone, and in this case, they'd only be offending one guy probably.

Where is your proof?  Once again I think you have your I hate Crean blinders on.  You assume that because we keep announcing record attendance, it must be a lie because we couldn't possibly be getting more people in every year and Crean must be orchestrating it.

Penn State has announced record attendance 5 times in the last two years.....is Joe Paterno creating a lie there?  This stuff happens everywhere that is successful, it ain't a lie, its simply statistic manipulation.

No, Paterno isn't lying... Crean is actually involved in some of the marketing that goes on in Happy Valley.

Again, Crean is responsible.

If the continually break the record and want to announce it, so be it.  But get rid of the "in the state of Wisconsin" ridiculousness.

I don't really understand the uproar over the "state of Wisconsin" stuff. That's where the record is located. You don't see references to Steve Novak being the leading 3-point FG shooter in college basketball without it being qualified by "in the Big East". To announce a record, you must reference its relevance. The record has no relevance outside the state even though some people seemingly want it to so they can feel like they're a part of a "National University" which to me seems more ridiculous then the continual announcment of the record.

It's a school record!! Isn't that enough?

He's also tells people to wear gold, and they actually do it! He gets off on his power.

Why don't you people get it?

You know, I've never thought of it that way.  I always heard it as "this just isn't a BC record.  It's a state-wide record."   Pretty similar to most sports, where they specify exactly what kind of record it is.  Season record, school-specific record, conference record, state record, national record.

Since we'll never have that national record, I see zero problem with calling it a state of WI record, since that's what it is.   I don't see it as a swipe at UW at all.  It is what it is.  A state record.  -- And if the Kohl Center was bigger, I have no doubt they would have the record, and everyone knows that.

If we want to take a swipe at UW with some facts, that's easy.  MU has way fewer a-holes, by percentage and count.   ;)

I believe the State of Wisconsin line is used to include Badger and Buck games as well (and UWM, after all, it's good for the State of Wisconsin to include them). And according to ticketmaster, you can only get single seats, Row R in the upper deck at this time. I asked for two tickets and it said "unavailable." So I belive this will be a sell out by tipoff, and would set a new record for attendance at basketball games, college or pro, in the State.

And PRN, shouldn't you wait until after the game to criticize the attendance numbers? If I see a bunch of empty seats and the announcement is made, I'll give you full props.

I'm pretty sure this game was sold out before the season began, in October.

The place will be packed.  Saturday afternoon, nationally televised CBS game against two ranked teams, and and AND most importantly:  MU is playing good ball.   Besides the UW game, this is MU's superbowl.

Hell yeah, this game is sold out and packed to the rafters.

The "in the state of WI" does make us sound defensive / contrived.  Not something I'll lose any sleep over, though.

I suspect we sell out MORE OFTEN than the Bucks, and with a much shorter season......  Anyone know for sure?

That's correct, I was just informed that there are only about 20 single seats still available.  So depending on how many are in the luxury boxes, it's definitly possible that it could be the largest crowd to ever watch a college basketball game in wisconsin

A game is considered a sellout if only single tickets remain.  The game is a sell out.

I think it's a touch disingenous (sp?) on the part of all leagues, MLB, NC2A, NBA, NFL, whomever, to announce tickets sold as attendance. I'd like to know an accurate count of paying customers, the number of bodies who paid to get in the building, for attendance. If they want to include a number of total folks in the building or total # of tickets sold as well, go right ahead.

Now that I think about it, a sellout isn't truly a sellout if single seats remain, is it?

Why bother calling? The ticket office will just tell you whatever Crean told them to lie about because everybody related to MU is just a drone under Crean's regime.

Some of you people are so clueless as to what is really going on.

They will call it a sell out because Crean wants them to call it a sell-out. That's it.

Is Crean a superdelegate?  How much power does this man have?

I've got the answer to this problem. Just put up a banner in the BC for every new record crowd.

You've got it all wrong.

You think MU does this stuff to promote the program and the school?

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

WAKE UP

The ONLY reason MU does this stuff is because of Crean's giant frickin' ego. He bullies everybody around and controls the whole athletic department.

He also controls all of the BC employees and the JS, so he can manipulate the attendance numbers.

Seriously, I don't think I can take the lies anymore... and what's worse is that you "Crean Sheep" on this board buy into all of the stuff!

I will be at the game wearing an original Warriors shirt from back in 1986, the glory days when MU's coach wasn't a spotlight hogging whore.

You can keep your Golden Eagles and your stupid attendance records, coach Crean. I know the REAL truth. 

well done....

 I think you all need to take a deep breath, open wide, and throw in 2 Xanax.   SHEESH!


Also -- that pole vaulter must be afraid of heights?!  He needs a new event, like bungee jumping or tug of war



You know, regardless of how many of us show up, I just hope our bench is "sold out" and in the "No single seats left" kinda way.  That's all :)

The announced attendance was 19,085. 

http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/all-time_single_game_attendance_record

Unless we're mistaken, Saturday's game was a new record. 

Maybe I was deaf from the BC crowd, but I do not remember them making any announcement of the number, nor the "largest crowd" new record.

If so .. there you go, PRN.  You've got your wish.

I was also at the game and I didn't hear any announcement either in regard to attendance.

Unless we're mistaken, Saturday's game was a new record.

Well,

I guess MU finally did something right and didn't bow down to the almighty TC ego.

I still don't give them credit however, because I still don't like TC or his antics, and it's doesn't really matter what he does, I'm not changing my opinion (because I'm right).
