Listen, MJ, Mountjoy, and self presented a carefully worked out proposal to form a non-student spirit club that would work with GaelForce (bacl and forth cheers), complete with business plan, which would fund bagpipers to play when the team came onto the court.  This was even several years ago when sellouts weren't taken for granted.  Met several times to explain and promote the idea.  Their most encouraging reaction: "We're not saying we hate this idea."
Really upsetting.

Well there were staff members from the athletic office front and center for the Santa Clara game.  If they weren't thoroughly embarrassed at how we measure up, I don't know what hope we have to make a change.  I'm willing to to sign a petition or email someone if it would help.  I am also willing to refuse to renew my tickets unless a change is made if that's the only way to get their attention.

I was a big Michael Jordan fan growing up  Do you guys remember the Chicago Bulls introductions of the '90's.  It still gives me chills?  There is no reason we couldn't do something equivalent (obviously no need for lasers or big screens.)
