Yeah the 1% of Bucks fans that know about realgm think its some big deal. What about the other 99%.
Lots of that 99% will see pics when Bill Simmons links to them or hosts them on ESPN. Trust me.

What is up with the 2 or 3 guys (on this forum) who seem almost angry at people for attempting this? Are you jealous that you weren't involved? It's like the fat kid really wanting to play baseball but not getting picked, so he spends the next week telling everyone who'll listen how **** baseball is and anyone who plays it is an idiot.

I hope so. I think it's awesome that people got together to protest the organization. The local paper gave no mention of paper bags,

If some of you guys want to mimize it or rip on it.....that's fine.
But give the guys credit tonight who actually put the hamburgers down....got away from the computers....went out in the real world and met some fellow RealGM'ers.
We had a great turnout of guys with bags greeting people leaving the BC tonight from the upper balcony as they went down the escalator. I had countless other fans come up to me tonight and say "good going"
And then of course there where the guys who went that extra mile to visit with our owner......(better photos to come) They are all gathering around Kohl during the fourth quarter....

No way they show a large group of fans with bags on their heads and say nothing. Instead, it's like nothing ever happened.
Now, was Kenny Mayne there? If this gets national press somehow then that's another story.
I did a show on a Celtics podcast after the game, and I mentioned this board and it's protest.

They didn't go into the lower bowl until the final timeout. Before that, they were in the concourse.

Nobody is ripping it. But it's sort of hard to minimize something that is honestly pretty small. The cameras didn't pick up a paper bag a single time. If it gets some ink in the JS or another paper, or Sports Center does a piece on it then that's huge and obviously what happened had a real effect.

Doug Russell repeatedly called the protest

AHAHAH.
I was in my friend's box for the game, and I got up to get some food about 20 minutes before gametime, looked outside my box past the glass windows, and I saw about 50-100 people with paper bags on their heads lined up. I grabbed my friend whom I had just finished telling about this and showed him, we just burst out laughing. It was great. The best was when everyone walked away, and at the end of the line was a guy with one little son holding his left hand while walking and the other holding his right hand while walking, with all 3 of them wearing paper bags. That was classic.
Good work tonight guys. I really give props to all of you for doing this.
I met schweig at the end of the game and gave him props as well. I'm pissed I couldn't join you guys at the bar (due to the age).

DB, you're one of my favorite posters here but you're being obtuse right now.
HUH?
Yeah, I said it. Obtuse. Simmons will sensationalize this thing and it will get plenty of pub.

Doug Russell? Who is that?
Anyways....mission was accomplished.....we got a mention in a Bill Simmons ESPN piece yesterday which was good enough.....
And you don't think Kohl received a message with those guys surrounding him during the game? Remember, that section is filled with the big corporate seats. Notice all the heads looking over at the bag guys. Kohl was a great sport, but you know he's going home thinking to himself things have hit rock bottom. Whether he wants to do something about it is another thing.
Again.....some guys on this board got off their asses and did something....and I especially commend those guys who went into Kohl's section.

That's great, but it's Bill Simmons. The guy is great but is he reaching the average NBA fan in Wisconsin? Watching the game with friends and family, none of them even knew who he was. This thing needs to be in the JS, local and state news or Sports Center to have any effect.

I commend you GAD, PP, Nowak, & all the others. All the fans looking in on the baggers is pretty entertaining, hopefully Kohl feels some pressure to improve this franchise this summer (personnel, management, & pretty much everything),

We hit the bigtime.....see what the C's fan just posted in the game thread....assume he got this off AP or the like:
Milwaukee Bucks owner Sen. Herb Kohl, lower left, watches as fans with bags on their heads are led out of the arena during the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Boston Celtics Saturday, March 15, 2008, in Milwaukee. The Celtics won 99-77.

You all got kicked out? Also, what does the sign say?
