Getting some new music for this year is a topic that I am planning on bringing up to our director. I think that it is very important to have a good connection between the band and the student section, so if anyone has anything they would like to address about the band or has any requests for the band, please let me know and I will pass the information along and try my best to get things taken care of. On the same note it would be great if I can communicate to you some of the things that band is planning and maybe we can start some new traditions or what not with interactions between the students and the band.

Well according to the seating chart it looks like the student section would be very easily moved to the other end of the arena. The student section however is directly located next to Kilbourn Ave, where the buses pick up and drop off, this might have added to the original placement. I do remember a game last year that a few of us went over the other end of the arena and it wasn't a problem at all. Only about ten people took the walk to the other side of the floor so the impact wasn't as i would expect. The big problem with walking over to the other side is the fact that those are our opponents seats, if anyone was seating near the vicinity the event staff would probably ask us to leave. Maybe another year, it was cool to look back at the student section and hear the roars!!

I do not know if I would want to be on the other side. It really does not matter to me. Its more or less traddition than it is needed. I am not sure if your crowd would be crazey enoug to get the opposing team off their rythem.
I do think the band should be put on the other side. The band makes the most noise. Plus the band should be on the other side to make more room for the student section. We should at least get that right first.

i agree that a good start would be to have the band on the other side, not only would it add some noise to that end, but one problem i have when the band is next to you or infront of you its hard to hear some of the music. sometimes its hard to recognize a song and it would be nice it it was coming right at you, despite than the fact that some(a lot) of our crowd couldnt clap in time if their life depended on it.

We met with Bruce for a little while last night, and this subject came up. Basically, he doesn't want the student section moved because he feels it is generally poor sportsmanship to put the students right on top of the opponent's bench.
Bottom line: Student's are not going to be moving anytime soon.

Whats up guys, kinda new to the page but ive been checking it ever since the beginning of last year. With all this talk about getting students more involved. I wonder if it would be possible to get a shirt that only the student section wears. I know we have all seen the bright red tie dyed shirts that the badger fans wear that say the greatful red, why not get something going where the student section looks like one big mob of t shirts. I think if the students have some kind of uniformity you wont have dousche bags wearing button ups like there dressed to go to a party. It would be hard to do it since madison gives them to student season ticket holders but im sure we could work something out. Just an idea.

We should definetly get in the market of making tee shirts with remarks about other teams.
Something tastefull, Bruce is all bout good sports man ship. But it would be sweet to get an anti-UIC teeshirt on tv....... especially ESPN

I agree it would be nice to have all the students wearing the same shirts but its not realistic. however, with the bruce is my homeboy shirt, ESPN bracketbuster from last year, Axels, O'danny's, and shirts purchased at the union, there will be plenty of students wearing UWM colors.

I disagree that we need shirts making fun of other teams. The goal is to promote our program, not rip on others.

WOW! There’s an impressive response.......
You know I find it so damn funny that all you UIC people just sit there and try to talk about Bruce like he is the second coming of the devil or something, let us not forget it isn't like your coach is gonna be up for a pope position anytime soon either so get over it, what happened in the past happened, whether it be back at Iowa or at that ridiculous game last Feb.
We will just wait to see what kind of thumping you guys get on your opening game how about that.........nice talking to you though....come again don't be shy ;D

Looked like a technical foul yes. Was it no. See Bruce was just signaling for the secret play. Its so secret that it has its own unique signal for it. Its just that some people in the basketball world thought he was being dangerous. nope. Just letting the guys know about the secret play.
You know, if youre not to help discussions on this board you really shouldnt come. Since you have nothing good to say ever, you should not be on this board. Since our moderaters are nice and they let you stay anyways lets make a bet.
I bet you that UIC will lose to UWM on our first meeting. If I am correct which I am , you can never post anything on the board untill your team wins again.
Now if you think you are so high and mighty why dont you take that bet.

I agree with dunzz......
Take the bet, it could be worth it for you.
You know i was wondering when it was going to be that someone would bring up the signal for the secret play, thanks for reminding me about it dunzz ;D
