Anyone notice the posters they gave out of the men's team for this season?

Nobody. This was a huge topic one year ago on this board.

I saw it but didn't get one. Too bad, it was pretty slick.

The posters are awesome this year,great pics of all the players in the baby blues with the schedule going down the side.
Even the wife said this was the best Madness she's been to.

Remember last year when 1250 WSSP was ripping MU a new one because the poster made MU look like a bunch of thugs. The poster this year, goes out of it's way to make the players have a happy face on. There faces look like something on Nickelodeon.

I do llike where the schedule has the teams logos.

Just got around to watching this last night...awesome.  I've got to think that it was very impressive for recruits to sit there and see a bunch of kids who are "living the dream" that came through the program.  It helps that one is widely considered one of the best players in the league; another went undrafted, but through hard work has parlayed his talent into an amazing success story; and two that many would have never thought would get drafted, but were turned into first round picks while at MU.  A great, great recruiting tool, and I'm really glad they pulled it off.  I'm sure other programs had a lot of their pros there too, and that it made for an impressive spectacle, but the fact remains that the recruits who were at MU on Friday didn't see those.  Did OJ Mayo show up?

I don't know when I'm going to find the time to watch the entire archived event, but it's on the list of things to do.  I just wish it was on youtube and no flash player was required.

WSSP is a laughing stock.  They look like "Thugs" because they aren't the whitebread boys from down the interstate.

Veiled racism at its finest.  They just recycle the same story every year.

There was no mention of OJ and he didn't participate in any festivities. Todd tweeted his brother would be there so maybe he was there for JFB's birthday and to talk with the team and recruits, or maybe he didn't show up.

Right before the dunk contest started, Todd came over to the press table and asked a woman if his family had shown up yet, and she told him they hadn't. (The lady had a list with all the family members who were supposed to be in attendance for all the players and coaches.) I don't think they ever made it to Madness, or if they did, they didn't go sit with the rest of the parents and families.
