THE RAINMAKERS

[warriorchick]

That's what FS1 called Marquette in their commercial hyping the Nova game.

Let's work it!

Think of the promotional possibilities:

Giveaways of MU-logo umbrellas and rain ponchos

Loud thunderclaps in the arena after every big play

Raindrop emojis on every mubb Facebook and Twitter post

Change our theme song to this:

How do we get this done?

Well to start, I nominate Chick for new Queen of promotional programming

[MUEng92]

Heard it earlier. Especially with the tone of voice...LOVE it

It's a better hashtag than #thething.  You twitter boys get busy.

Still disappointed that this isn't the marketing for the 3+1 ticket deal.

I accept!

Now if I can only get those folks at Marquette Style on board.  I custom ordered a dress that is covered with MU logos, and when I asked for some promo cards with their web address on it, and they told me they were "out".  Every time I wear it I am constantly stopped by people who ask me where I got it. I tell them, but I bet they have lost dozens of sales because I couldn't just hand them a card.

Dont hold ur breath i think we still have the same half time commericial since the new big east started.  Dynamic advertising right there.

[T-Bone]

Something without R Kelly though?

How about this? A couple of midgets.


Photoshop Rowsey and Howard, and we're done.

I took Creative Writing my senior year at Marquette and I wrote a short fiction piece about a basketball savant that I called "The Rainmaker."

I'm calling my lawyer.

Once again, you have proven that you have no clue what you are talking about.  They produce a new one every couple of years.  Here are the last couple they ran before their current one:

And did you see the completely unimaginative one Providence has?  Looks like it was a group project in a first-year  digital media class.

Actually we started that commercial last year. I'm no expert but from what I can remember none of the other Big East schools have changed their commercial on a yearly basis.

Just get this chant going in the BC (or to open up the new arena) and I'll be one happy camper.  Would be really, really badass.

Maybe a song not featuring the guy who likes to pee on underage girls singing "Make It Rain" would make a better theme.

LOL Noted. We can use the original Fat Joe version. I tried using it in my post, but they don't allow you to embed it.

Here comes the rain again, falling through the net like a memory, falling from the sky after perfect motion.........


Apologies to Annie and Dave.

Think we could use some Robert Redford/Paul Newman references then?

This is the only Rainmaker video clip you need.


Edit: YES!  Thanks WChick.

[warriorchick]

This is the only Rainmaker video clip you need.


Edit: I wish I could figure out how to embed it.

Okay, quick and dirty tutorial:

Click the Flash button (the red circle with the "F" in it and copy the link to the YouTube page between the two sets of brackets

Edit the link itself from this:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V6FCitvRUM

To this:  https://www.youtube.com/v/5V6FCitvRUM  Note the changes around the first letter "v".

Change the numbers in  [flash=200,200] to the proportions you want.  I typically use [flash=500,300]

Preview it to see if it works, and then post.

It took me distressingly long to figure out. Maybe I should ask for a refund on my MU computer science degree .
