Student Section Names

[goodlknx1]

My name is Tom Maillard and I'm a senior at Marquette and avid fan.  I'm definitely in support of the students who are organizing chants in order to increase the excitement of the fans/student section.  However, it seems that one of the bigger issues at hand is the lack of consistency in our fans commitment to being loud.  At some games (hopefully tomorrow) our crowd is certainly one of the loudest, which is apparent as we are able to fill an NBA arena, and yet, at other games we are certainly deserving of the criticism that our fans aren't devoted.

Therefore, I think that one way we should attempt to increase people's pride in attending games is by creating a name for our student section.  It's obviously only a start, but there seems to be a greater power with U of I's Orange Krush, the Cameron Crazies, the Zoo at Pitt, etc..

So, can we begin thinking of potential names for Marquette's student section?

Just a starting point: The Eagle's Nest

Al's Army.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Tom Crean picked the Gold Rush.

[#MUBB]

Jumping Jesuits

[ThaBusDriver34]

Al's Army.

I actually really like this one. Whatever it is, we should get it printed on the student section shirts. Make them say something better than just "Marquette Basketball"

you mean it's not covered by calling it the "greatest student section in the country..."

Great idea for next year... We have already made plans to bring this up to the Athletic Department on Monday.

I've said it once and I will say it again, the student section/everyone should sing the national anthem as loud as possible. Nothing gives me the chills quicker than that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SZiLlvstZA

And if any of the student commenters are serious about getting chants going, start a separate section and give yourselves a name. It starts with a few and grows "organically." Personally, I think Al's Army would be a killer name for a fan section.

Finally, I'm no 'Pool fan but when they sing "You'll never walk alone" at Anfield, it's quite a sight to see. That would definitely take time to master as well as help from the jumbotron but I think its feasible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7xvegPH_Lw

That is what I posted in a thread in late 2010. Still applies.  http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=22667.msg249505#msg249505

Buzz's Bleachers?

I was going to suggest Buzz's Bunch, but that might be considered offensive...to the original Buzz's Bunch.

I hope no one realizes it's a rip off the USA supporters section. If they realize it's from soccer it probably wouldnt get all the +1's....

I should add that I love it.  Al's Army till we die...

[warriorchick]

According to some of the posters who complain about the student section, the appropriate name would be Buzzkill.

You mean Sam's Army right?

Yes

[77ncaachamps]

Al's Army...

...of Warriors.



I see what you did there.


BTW, leave Buzz out. This program is not about him. It's about the kids.

If by kids you mean, "money"

Might as well sell the name to a company for naming rights.

[KenoshaWarrior]

The "We arent watching the game we are just texting are friends or checking our Facebook Status" Army

[MU82]

Not sure about naming it after a coach who hasn't been there for decades and died when the students in the section were in grade school. But hey, it's not my section. If that's the choice, it certainly would be a nice tribute, I spose.
