The comprehensive list of reasons the crowds suck.

...the conference is boring
...the coach doesn't have a personality
...lack of free crap
...the video sucks

Anything else? 

What a bunch of whiners.

Jimmy Mac better get one when he returns for a game after retiring

I'm not whining about lack of free crap, it's the poor decision making from MU marketing.

The 100 year celebration is a new NCAA appearances video, a 45 second video during a timeout in the first half, and old players on the team poster and season tickets.

Some easy ideas off the top of my head.  Celebrate a different 5 year stretch each home game.  Bring back a player or players from that time frame when possible.  Maybe wear a throwback jersey now and then from the respective time frame.  Hell bring back Bleuteaux for the late 80's game.  Auction off the jerseys and make some $$$.

This is from 30 seconds of thinking from an engineer.  Imagine what a whole day of marketing specialist could come up with?

It's just disappointing after seeing years of fantastic marketing and promotions.  I guess I was expecting more for the 100 year celebration.

Yeah, people who want to make things better and provide ideas suck.

Really, you call this a good idea. Don't quit your day job.
Last home game, they had a video of MU's BB history move to the BC in 1988.

Like I said, they do a brief video each home game.  And that's it.

This is the crowd for player introductions against St Francis... on national television.  But sure bat, they don't need to do more.

I didn't get the giveaway and THAT was the crowd.  I actually got there 30 minutes before taking this picture.

Not enough giveaways.

Another giveaway I forgot about:   Al McGuire Mini Statue.

Bobby Wild bobblehead and Palermo Pizza giveaway (but the same person kept winning).

How about a Scott Pilarz Book of Poetry giveaway?

Not just a Marquette problem. Did you see Michigan vs Central Arkansas on BTN? Had to be 2,000 in the building. The Marquette crowd filled in better after that picture was taken at 5:55pm from a cold, windy, 10 inches of snow weekend, 29 point favorite  Monday, 6pm start game. I'm not saying more shouldn't be done. But, what could you do on this game?

Weird, got inside the BC on 4th street at 5:45pm and got the pint glasses.

Voucher?  Went to both atriums with no luck.

I'll tell ya what.  If you're this butt hurt about not receiving a free pint glass I'll find one on ebay and buy it for you.

Really, it's not that big of a deal.

Here I thought people went to games to watch the basketball.

Aside from the week my wife was 41 weeks pregnant, I've driven up to every game from Illinois for the past seven years with the exception of four games. (PTM's wedding during exhibition a few years back, snowstorm against UWM, another MU wedding during exhibition this year, tonight with newborn). Before that I attended every game while in college with the exception of a game against Las Vegas when I had to mascot the women's basketball game.

For three and a half of those years I would actually travel 2.5 hours to work in Chicago, leave early to come home to Rockford, then go to the game in Milwaukee.

Nearly all with no giveaways.

So shut it.

10,000 pint glasses and 15,000 tshirts.

Solid giveaways for two games but not for a combined 13.

If anyone has a kind place in their heart and would be willing to part with the 1977 tshirt, or the pint glass from the Depaul or Creighton game I would much appreciate it. Would be willing to pay a little for it as well as shipping costs.

The 1977 shirts are on sale for $15 at the games.

Being 4000 miles away kind of hinders that plan a smidge.
