Bag Night recap thread (GAD meets Kohl) 

Post#1 » by paulpressey25 » Sun Mar 16, 2008 2:44 am

Props to GAD, Nowak and others. They all put the bags on with signs and went down to the courtside seats to talk with Herb Kohl during the last timeout.

Awesome. Post some photos in this thread when people get home.

Herb was a good sport about it and people in his section were all talking with him afterwards.

I proclaim bag night a success. Props to Gad and Nowak for organizing it.

Glad you're all having fun.

Make sure we get a rundown of what Herbie said.

I'm sure Herb Kohl was very happy that they spent their money to enjoy a bucks game. I think he could've cared less about the bags.

Someone should have rushed the court with a bag over their head.

That would have gotten good attention.

No msiris if someone got on the court. I thought RealGm-ers were zealous Bucks fans that would do anything to get a winning team.

I'm so very pleased things went so well. I can't wait for the total low-down and any possible video.

Thanks to GAD & Nowk for all the work! You did us proud!

Fits right in with the Bucks organization then.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Hey even though the Bucks have no chance to ever even make it to the finals, they still do a lot for downtown businesses. What a nostalgic sight to see Sam I am again too. Why didn't we pursue him?

Kind of what I was thinking.

Watching the broadcast tonight I was reminded an episode of The West Wing. Toby, the White House Communications Director, was sent to meet with WTO protesters. Only in order for the protesters to get an audience, they had to lose the cameras. Toby, when he meets with the leader of the protesters:

You know what you did today that was really stupid? You gave away the cameras. With cameras in here I

Might have gotten that fan banned for life. As planned GAD handled everything with class. Whats was he supposed to do? Start a riot?
This board gets noticed. The Bucks should fear us. The best info for the Bucks start here. :D

We have an "in" with Bill Simmons. Anything he can use for ammunition for his campaign will be shown or linked to.

Hm, maybe they could've caught a t-shirt during the t-shirt toss, and then throw it back at hooptroop in defiance of the tyrannical Herb Kohl!! Poor old man probably felt sorry for those guys wearing bags on their heads.

I'm not the one paying for tickets and understand that them being cheap was a big reason that all of you cats did this, but it seems to me that if the bag people had seats where the cameras had no choice but to pan over, this would have probably accomplished something. 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.
But that is a big problem with the Bucks. They act like nothing is wrong. What I do not get is why anyone would want to pay and watch the Bucks get killed by Boston. GAD and company got a good deal on their tickets and had a purpose, but the rest wanted to watch this game. :crazy:

No the best way is to run on the court with a bag on your head. That will make TV. Otherwise noone knows the fans are mad. Yeah the 1% of Bucks fans that know about realgm think its some big deal. What about the other 99%.
