Squad 6 Thread

[blkout]

You guys see the resemblance, don't you?

My comment was about his awesome facial hair. In reality the guy is a bit of a bitch though and Mose would kick his ass.

These are more suggestions for the Bucks marketing people in general.

1. Why not queue up clips from popular movies/shows for certain situations? Ones that popped into my head immediately....

4th quarter comeback tightening up: "Too close for missiles, I'm switching to guns." -Top Gun

Crowd too quiet: "It's quiet. Yes, a little too quiet if you know what I mean." -Beekeepers Simpsons

Bucks kicking ass: "Yes, yes, yes, this rocks. No, no, no don't stop a rockin'." -Homer Simpsons

These things write themselves. I don't know what the process is to get rights to play them, but it can't be too bad.

2. Involving other state sports stars.

Why not have Aaron Rodgers on the Jumbotron saying "Lets go Bucks!" or Ryan Braun saying "I can't hear you Bucks fans" ? Make it reciprocal so Bogut and Jennings are shown at Packers and Brewers games.

Better yet have the 3 most recognizable guys from each state pro team come together and do stupid skits to be played during games.

It increases exposure for all 3 teams and would take about 15 minutes to do.

3. Show Brett Favre in a Queens jersey on the Jumbotron when the opposing team is shooting FTs.

How has this not been done yet?

Yeah, this kind of thing is done all over. Should definitely be doing that.

We also need a modern incarnation of the Bark Board.

Im not sure if you guys are familiar with Insomniac Ink, but I am friends with one of the owners and if we get enough orders, I can probably get a really good deal on S6 shirts. If someone who is artistic could come up with a clever/pimp logo we could get it screen pressed on shirts.

Those are some very good ideas.

I would love to see some Simpsons clips and old school 80's movie clips during the games.

I believe they have shown some clips before, the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor speech from Belushi in Animal House, Hackman in Hoosiers and running thru the streets of Philly scene from Rocky.


I would love to see the basketball scenes from Teen Wolf with that hilarious music after the Bucks go on a good run and are winning big.

There already is a Squad 6 logo on the Squad 6 link from Bucks.com

To avoid any backlash from Badger fans who might be miffed at us doing "Jump Around" (some will call it an homage, some will accuse of copying them and be annoyed), AND to be a little more original and carve out our own little tradition of us getting up and"jumping around" leading into the 4th quarter, instead of "Jump Around" before the 4th quarter, we are going to go with a remix of the White Stripes "Seven Army Nation"

It might not be ready for Saturday, and it might not be this EXACT version, but familiarize yourselves with this:

I think you can figure out the crowd participation part

I can't take credit for coming up with this, but I was on board immediately when I checked it out. What's also interesting is that two different people independently suggested we think about"Seven Nation Army"

Like I said, we might not have the music ready, but I'm ready to lead us a cappella for Saturday's game if need be. Totally doable. We'll vocalize, and "jump around" while doing it. It'll be fun!

[GrandAdmiralDan]

I do forget who precisely first suggested Seven Nation Army. jakecronus, perhaps?

[jakecronus8]

GAD. Can you get permission for us to use the S6 logo on shirts? I can most likely get shirts for less than 5 bucks each.

[WEFFPIM]

You do realize that Jump Around is played at both Brewers and Packers games, right?

[JustinCredible]

I agree with GAD that 'Jump Around' would be looked at negatively by some. It is probably best to just avoid that and try to come up with something else. The Seven Nation Army idea is brilliant. I think if the BC just played the regular version of that song we could keep the chanting/singing of "OOOOOOOoooooooooOOOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOoooooo!" going throughout the whole song. Man that would be awesome.

Personally I think it is a great choice and can't wait to try it out.

[JustinCredible]

I still think we should come up with a sing-a-long song for a less intense moment of the game. Even as awesome as the Seven Nation Army is going to be, it won't get the whole crowd to join in. Even at Badgers games the whole crowd doesn't join in on Jump Around. However, entire crowds would sing along to "Sweet Caroline", "Don't Stop Believing", or "Lean On Me".

Eventually this season maybe we could get something like this going for in-between the 1st and 2nd quarter. So far my vote would be for "Lean On Me" since the other two are done by many teams already.

[JustinCredible]

Also, Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400 would be a nice choice before the 4th quarter. Either that or Seven Nation Army could get Squad 6 going.

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

I love that Seven Nation Idea!

I like Crowd Chant by Joe Satriani.

How about that clip with Piper [I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick a$$ and I'm all out of bubble gum] .As for as for a chant how about, we want a pitcher not a belly itcher ,it will confuse the hell out of them

I'm a big fan of that as well. We actually had that DURING the 4th quarters of Bucks games (like coming back from a time out or something) either during the 06-07 season or the 07-08 season. Can't remember which. Not that we coudn't do it again at a different part of the game I suppose, but for prior to the start of the 4th quarter, I was looking for something we could "jump around" to as well, since many people were interested in specifically doing "Jump Around"

I've also always ben a huge fan of how Kernkraft 400 sounds, but having a huge chunk of the crowd drone on to something by "Zombie Ntion" always struck me as awkward

I kinda like the Seven Nation Army deal when the crowd was cheering in it, but the keyboard stretches in it sound a bit cheesy IMO.

I haven't been to a game yet, but might go Saturday. From listening on the TV though, i've liked best the soccer game sounding chants coming from your group. I don't watch soccer enough to know what the best chants are or what you guys have been chanting, but it's just had that soccer game sound to it a few times and the rare times i've watched soccer, i found the fan participation to be the best part of watching the game.

Hey Gad, i have a few questions about this Squad 6.

1. Has Bogut or any of the players during games pointed to you guys or specifically acknowledged you guys at all in some way during a game?

2. Does Bogut talk to you or anyone else in the group with suggestions?

3. If you have an idea and need music to be played for it, will the Bucks play the music for you after it's approved?

4. Are the Bucks working with you guys at all?

5. Have any sourpuss type of sit on their hands folks in the crowd sitting near your group given any dirty looks or told you to quiet down?

[icat2000]

I reckon you should develop your own style for Squad Six rather than ripping off other stuff.

Just start with some basic stuff and work on doing it well then move onto to developing chants and stuff.
