Extremely funny stuff and I am expecting our best effort on Saturday. Some thoughts for additional faces to add:
Olsen Twins(legedary)
Urkel (Family Matters)
Norm (Cheers)
Richard Simmons(enough said)
Billy Packer(if he is doing the game)
Jim Nance(ditto)
Gus Armstrong(best voice in college hoop)
Dr. Phil
Eddie Haskell (Leave it to Beaver)
George Jefferson
Caveman Guy (Geico)
Linda Richmond
Gus Johnson and Clark Kellogg are on the call.
You can see all the big heads at:

Already have the Olsen twins. And Richard Simmons just won the last fan vote for the Pitt game over my pick, Bill Simmons. I think the Sports Guy should definitly be a big head, or at least be in another vote because if someone sent him the link he would hopefully put it on his weekly links page.
Gus Johnson...yes, sorry about my typo...he is awesome!
Dick Vitale an impressive 11-0.
Why don't they have Big Head Todd?
I'd like to see more women. A few ideas
Scarlett Johannsen
Amy Winehouse
Natalie Portman
Barbara Bush
Maria Sharapova
the chick from Juno

Julia Louis-Dreyfuss. She's got a big head. It's too big for her body. She's a walking candy apple.
I posted this on another thread, but whatever.
If there isn't a giant head featuring Dr. Hibbert from the Simpsons in the student section (for obvious reasons), I'm going to be very upset.

Some of the heads were stolen? I voted for Rosie O'Donnell who should be capable of causing outright panic for anyone seeing her. Is there a support stick or something strong enough for that cut-out?
Quite frankly, I'm surprised the school hasn't been sued for this or at least a cease and desist from some of the celebrities.

Yeah, if you take a walk around Mashuda, McCormick, Schrades, Carp, and Cobeen you can see them in the windows generally.

So we have the crack Pubic Safety guys on the case then trying to find the offenders? ;)
You have to give them a form of ID in exchange for the big head now because they kept getting stolen. Then at the end of the game you get your ID back when you return the big head.

If the ID is damaged it's $5. A 'lost' ID is $15. A little bit more of a deterrent.

$15 for a genuine cut-out face actually used at a Marquette game..
and that's only if you're dumb enough to use your real student id in the first place 8-)
Also it is an ID so it's not like they don't know who has the big head should you choose to steal it.

Exactly, I know where to go to make a replica of TDs ;D
Denny Crane!
I want to see the big head of Joani Crean. Particularly one of her being digusted with a bad call.
Joani wants to see the big head of Tom ;D
How about Richard Nixon
or
Gorbie, his "beauty mark" would be a show stopper
or
Al Sharpton

She's already known for her big head--

can we get Erin Andrews... no way an opposing player could take their eyes off of her while trying to shoot a FT
Anyone who attended Wisconsin-Madison should not have a big head (the one on their actual body oftentimes is already enough), therefore eliminating Katz. I say no Colbert even again either. How about a big head for Al?

that wasn't the case for the Pitt game. I was in the front on the corner (near the Pitt bench) and the BC staff or whoever couldn't get rid of the Jamie Dixon big heads quick enough. They handed out about 3 various Dixon big heads, no i.d. needed

There already is an Erin Andrews, but they don't give it out that often (I'm not sure many of the students are aware who she is, which I'll agree is pretty sad). They made it last year for Gameday.

They make us give up our ID for all except the ones of that night's opposing coach. Those ones are lesser quality and only used for that one game. I think the giving of the ID has been pretty effective. I don't think any have been stolen since they started doing that because I don't think most students want to pay $15 dollars for a random celebs huge face (or maybe they don't realize they have the option of just getting a new ID). Interestingly enough, I've seen people who did not have an MU ID give up their drivers liscense for a big head. I don't think those people were sober.

that's different. the ones for the given game you don't need id's for. The ones they have every game you need to give an id to get. So during l'ville, the palacios/smith smoochie one didn't need any collateral either and the coach ones never do.

Dude, that is so weak, the word weak doesn't even begin to describe how weak it is. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
What about Bricky, he's solid gold ya know! ;D
How about the before and after pictures of Jared from Subway
Chris Farley
Jackie Moon (Will Farrell) Figure this is just a matter of time.
If we go with Farley...you definately need Patrick Swayze...full mullet version.

If you're going with Swayze, I suggest the entire cast of Road House -- Wade Garrett, Brad Wesley, Jimmy, etc.
And change the name of the student section to the Double Deuce.
OUT-Standing!!! One of the finest motion pictures of all time!

I may disagree with you on a lot of things PRN, but that was a fanstastic post!!!
Any chance someone can get mug shots? The Nick Nolte mug shot would definitely deter someone from making their ft's.

Am I the only one who thinks the 'giant heads' are an awful idea? I mean the first couple of games they were 'cute' but really...the announcement of the 'new head' during the game?!?!
Oh I hope I get to hold Mr. Rodgers head during the second half!!! Oh I will shake it so hard!!
If we want a competitive edge during FT's start mimicking Wisconsins or ND's student section--hands moving in one continuous motion and then a last minute change. Just watching it in the stands is tough.
No one is going to miss a free throw because the Olsen twins are in the crowd or some lady from a cooking show.
i just find it sad that they took what started as a distraction device and sold it out to, what is it, jobnoggin.com?

Hey, we ripped off SDSU fair and square.
And selling it is about one word...MARKETING!!!!!!!!! It's what makes the world go round.

Uh, yeah you are pretty much the only one. The heads are unique, funny, and they get MU some cheap exposure. As for competitive edge, none of that stuff works any way. Players are focused on the basket and that is it. I doubt there is any evidence that any of the free throw gimmicks work.
And I don't want to mimick anything the UW or ND student sections do.

Totally agree with you MUSF!!!! They are unique and funny and I love looking over at every game to see what new ones have been added. Who wants to do what everyone else does????
the "unveiling" of the new head with the procession is really dumb.
I do like the idea of the heads.
