Pint Glasses Are Awesome!

[🏀]

There have been more giveaways and events this season than any other I can remember. We got new uniforms. Honoring the 1977 team. Season ticket holders names on the floor. Season ticket holders getting to go to practice.

I really don't know what more people want. Free beer (the young alumni already get that) and a Buzz' old manager to flush for you?

There may be more giveaway events, but no chance of getting that giveaway.

I'll give you the practice, that's it

Spirit shop discount is nice, but there always seems to be a sale and they don't stack discounts, rendering it almost useless.

I must be in there at wrong times because other than clearance, nothing seems to be on sale.

Were more than 1,000 available?

[TallTitan34]

The whole point of a giveaway is to draw fans that wouldn't usually come to games.

Giving something to the first 1,000 people isnt going to draw anyone in.

Those were over the years, talking about in one season.

Bingo, is useless.

I'll give them that marketing this program sucks now. Crean was a promoter, Buzz was an act...Wojo is coach speak robot.

What would you like them to do?

What would you like them to do?

One pint glass for 10,000 people is a start.

[TallTitan34]

Ok divide that by 5 (I co-op'd so I had an extra year).  Still more than this year.

Question, if you go to a pint glass game and want to hit the bars beforehand, can you walk in, get a voucher and then hit a bar only to return for the game?

I sure as hell wouldn't want to arrive an hour before tip

Just come close to matching what they used to do.

Nope.

Also, how is it okay to be selling the game day promotion in the stadium after they run out of the extremely limited numbers?

I'll admit most of your list is before 2005. We had a gap of no giveaways from 2005 until now.

Graduated in '08, that list was at least up to that point.

Ok, fine. Now it's almost 2017. So, we had 8 years of nothing by your count, until this year.

[DienerTime34]

It ain't that complicated. How about a Jimmy Butler Bobblehead night when the Bulls are in town the night/before after. You don't think that would fill a few extra thousand seats against a halfway decent Big East foe?

Graduated in 2014 and there were loads of tshirt incentives, posters, foam fingers, wigs, winter hat etc during my years.

Crowder, Jimmy, Wes...any of them.

I'd enjoy this, I could make a collection for my desk at work.

Jimmy, Jae, Wes, Doc or Jerel are all easy bobble heads.

I know what you are talking about. Most of that was all for student section.

I like this idea.

Another giveaway I forgot about:   Al McGuire Mini Statue.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of giving away 1,000 or 2,000 of some item, then selling them for $10-15 at the same game.
