"Scuse Me While We Kiss The Sky"

[MuggsyB]

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

You're not enthusiastic about anything Fluffy. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Clearly you don't understand the connection.

Id guess that close to 90% of current MU students have never heard Purple Haze. Most of the remaining 10% probably couldn't tell you a single lyric from the song.

So based on your logic Beethoven's music, because he died close to 200 years ago, serves little purpose and shouldn't be used in a soundtrack?  Or in any event or setting?  What a bunch of fking nonsense.  Maybe if they listen to the freaking song they would immediately connect the dots?  Smh.  And Purple Haze was released 16 years before I was born btw.

So based on your logic Betthoven's music, because he died close to 200 years ago, serves little purpose and shouldn't be used in a soundtrack?  Or in any event or setting?  What a bunch of fking nonsense.  Maybe if they listen to the freaking song they would immediately connect the dots?  Smh.  And Purple Haze was realized 16 years before I was born btw.

I stated a fact (or an educated guess). I didn't make an argument so I'm not sure what logic youre refrencing. I certainly didn't say anything about Beethoven or Hendrix "serving little purpose" (though they would serve little purpose at a modern college basketball game).

There's also the reality that you can't play music while the ball is in play in college ball. So you'd only be able to do this if there was an immediate timeout after a made Kam 3.

[MUUWUWM]

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

Mugs,

I get what your saying and did not want you to think I'm picking on you. But that exchange just made me laugh.

When's the last time you heard Beethoven at a sporting event?  And I think his 9th is probably the greatest piece of music ever written. (That and Aerosmith's version of "Train Kept a Rollin'."  😉)

We hear Beethoven 9th all over the place over a variety of artistic platforms and have for years.  We hear AC/DC at sporting events, they're not exactly current.  I make one little comment about Purple Haze and the common retort is thiis music/lyrics are too old.  Gimme a break.

Being too old isn't the problem.  Not being popular enough is. The current students have all heard Thunderstruck before. Most of them have never heard Purple Haze.... and again,  you can't play music during game action, so playing music after every made three doesn't work anyway

Fur Elise would send the student section into a frenzy. MU would be unstoppable.

Additional song ideas:

-Fans sing "You Are (O) So Beautiful To Me" any time Oso scores.
-Play Petula Clark's "Downtown" going into timeouts after a made three.
-Use the Cocomelon "Wagon Song" whenever the Jopwagon checks in.
-Go with Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" to amp fans up for big Ben Gold plays.
-Blast Diana Ross' "I'm Coming Out" every time Chase leaves the floor.

Not as good an effort as your "analytics killed the mid-range J " Buggles parody.  Denver btw proved your thesis false in the NBA Finals.

What shot charts are you looking at? They shot almost everything from in the lane and at the three.

[JakeBarnes]

Barbers "Adagio for Strings" on repeat on the concourse.

[brewcity77]

What shot charts are you looking at? They shot almost everything from in the lane and at the three.

Using basketball reference 25/217 makes in the series were midrange. Just 11.5%, and it pretty much decreased as the series went on. By game, 8/7/6/1/3 made midrange shots. I don't know what series Muggs was watching, but it wasn't Denver in the NBA Finals, that's for sure.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Not as good an effort as your "analytics killed the mid-range J " Buggles parody.  Denver btw proved your thesis false in the NBA Finals.

Denver scored 38 points from the mid-range in the NBA finals. Total. They scored 523 points in the series. So 7.3% of their points came from the mid-range.

Game 1 they scored 18 points from the mid-range. After that, they never scored more than 6 points from mid-range in a game. In Game 4, they scored a single mid-range jumper.

Denver's performance in the NBA Finals is an excellent example of why the mid-range jumper is no longer emphasized in today's game.

Don't care about the music.  Just get this chant going as the intro video is ending and anytime there's a big run going and we're good.

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 proposed Theme Somg from Shaft as our Pump up song a while back


https://youtube.com/watch?v=cEaRCAcfOEQ&feature=sharec


Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
(Shaft)
You're damn right
Who is the man that would risk his neck for his brother man?
(Shaft)
Can you dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?
(Shaft)
Right on
They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother
(Shut your mouth)
But I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft
(Then we can dig it)
He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
(John Shaft)

The marketing department not taking you up on this is probably why Grimes didn't come here.

An 80s band had a song played on Sirius this morning as I drive into the office.  Don't recall ever hearing it, but the group is called Kon Kan.

Just imagine the potential if he comes here. The sheer excitement when Shaka Kon fills the arena sound system will be rapturous.

Can we please just get rid of the damn U2 pre-game music?

[Tyler COLEk]

This is a whale of a thread that I'm definitely not going to read, but wanted to drop in some related points:

Marquette must cut U2 and AC/DC from the pregame lineup. Please add something fresh. This program renaissance is a perfect opportunity to replace some of the painfully outdated media used at Fiserv.
