"Scuse Me While We Kiss The Sky"

[MuggsyB]

What is the MU marketing department doing in Milwaukee to pimp the season?  Are there billboards all over the place?   Are nicknames being bandied about for our badass players?  Do we have anyone in charge with a remote understanding how to create some enthusiasm?  How about a little Purple Haze every time Kam hits his patented Rainbow J?  Maybe Pink Floyd's Money after Tyko drops a dime?

Not only does this group have the potential to inflict serious damage, but this is also the most aesthetically pleasing and coolest basketball team in the country.  Can we get it together and maybe create some nicknames, a hoops glossary, get on people's asses in the marketing department or what have you??  I'm just throwing it out there, the season will be here before you know it.  Have a good day.  Let's put together something nickname wise at least?

I think you are onto something — nothing creates a raucous sweater vest atmosphere like music from 50+ years ago.

I bet a "Give Em' Hell Shaka" cheer will really get the crowd going as well.

Just as long as it's not too loud. I heard the music last year was too loud. Loud music has no place at a sporting event.

good lord, can the season start sooner so we can stop these stupid marketing, nickname, ticketing posts....

[DienerTime34]

I'll add some positivity here: Really liked the big soccer-style banner & "We Will Win" chant from the student section for big games. It was fun. Be excited to see something like that come back.

Why are you attacking everyone?  These are rather innocuous posts. 

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Much like ESPN, Marquette's marketing team hates Marquette.

[NCMUFan]

Sweater vests are awesome.

Maybe he finds them unacceptable and are sure there are felonies at the root of them.

"I Believe That We Will Win" has the same number of syllables as "Warriors Come Out To Play," I think the students should chant that instead. But alas I graduated 15 years ago, I don't have the juice to get it going.

A decade or more ago, I suggested substituting 'we are' and 'Marquette' for 'Thunder' when they play Thunderstruck before the game.

Students have been doing that for 20+.

As to the game experience, Learfield schools are essentially all the same as they are saving on royalties and ideas. My daughter came up with "Miller Lite Corner" for young alums at Sac State. She texted me that MU was fast adapting the next week. The MU band is the last of the unique to MU things left.

Finds who/what unacceptable?  The posts here?

Now we're getting more modern!  A movie from over 40 years ago and a mascot that ended in the 90s.

#WakeUpMUMarketing—NOW!

LMAO!

LMAO!

It's about whether the music makes sense and or is applicable.

You originally said "create enthusiasm." Playing a Jimi Hendrix song from 56 years ago will not do that.

I agree with this analysis

Maybe we should look at Lunardi is projecting Marquette in tourney and discuss potential second round matchups...  about as much fun as message boards making up nicknames for players

Clearly you don't understand the connection.

I understand the connection. I'm not enthused by it.
