at the beginning of the season when we had the SBGC meeting, the person in charge of promotions and give-aways gave a little speech to us telling us about all the excitement around being at US Cellular. he said "we're gonna put t-shirts on people every chance we get... the Black Out Night... the Gold Rush Night... we're gonna have a Bruce Pearl bobblehead night... we're gonna have Throwback UWM Trucker hats..." he went on and on telling us about how much stuff they're gonna give out to attract people to the games.
so, unless I missed something, we've only had Black Out Night, and there is only 4 home games left. does any one know if any of these will happen? I hope to god they at least do a gold t-shirt giveaway for the Bracket Buster game so the nation can see our sea of gold.

A Gold Shirt giveaway for the bracketbuster game is a great idea! How can we go about making that happen?

I would like to see it too. But how many are they going to give away? 250? 500? Pointless if you want it to be a "Gold" rush.
I would like to see at least a few thousands given away. Then it looks cool. Anyone ever see how the Winnipeg Jets/Phoenix Coyotes do it in the playoffs? Everyone wears (or they are given) white shirts or sweatshirts. It looks so sweet on TV, can only imagine what it's like in person.

i remember being promised all of the giveaways at the begining of the year as well. i hope they werent just blowing smoke up our asses. i agree as well that 50 or 100 shirts dont do a thing. If they are gonna give away everything they promised they are gonna have to give stuff away 3 out of the last 4 regular season games we have here.

I went to the Bracket Buster game at SIU last year and the Salukis gave out tons of red and white shirts to the crowd prior to the game, ESPECIALLY THE ENTIRE student section. I expect at bare minimun the same on Feb. 21.

When I stopped by to check on the tickets for the UIC game they had several large boxes being unloaded with what I assume was tshirts. I have no idea when they are going to be distributed however...it could even be for a womens game for all i know.
Later,

They are for the bracket buster.........its gonna be turn back the clock night.... lower ticket prices.... us cell and miller has sponosred about 4,000 tshirts.....all old school logos....the reasoning is that the last time that we played manhattan was 1973 in THE MECCA! More details to come....

The throwback t shirts sound awesome! Curious which logo is on the shirt? Will it be a cardinal or that full body panther?? I dunno what we were in '73. Too many switches to keep straight ;D
