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.

As Kenny Bania would say....Golden Jerry....just Golden.......you couldn't get a better photo......and look at the reaction of the other fans sitting around there. Especially the guy with the Pepsi in the upper left "holy crap...look at what just happened"

Again, I'll add the disclaimer. We are grateful to Senator Kohl for all he's done....I bought tickets and concessions tonight and gladly supported the Bucks and will continue to do so.....but we need Senator Kohl to make major changes.

I was all in favor of the revolt and would have been there if I wasn't back home for spring break, I was just relaying what Doug said (another caller said the same thing).

Nowak and BlueJeep had signs that said "Where Amazing Happens"

It was a pretty innocent sign.....but then they'd chant something like "Another 20 point plus beatdown....your Milwaukee Bucks...where amazing happens"

All those guys are now at Fitzgibbons and will be on here later I'm sure......I couldn't tell who all went to visit Kohl since I was still in our section, but I know GAD, Nowak, Blue Jeep, Beyond the Arc, Steger and a few others I think made the trip.

It'd be nice to get this on the wiretap for all the other RGMers to see.

Someone should print that pic out, have it framed, signed by the RealGM'rs in attendance tonight and given to GAD and/or any of the other instrumental organizers of tonight's event.

I know...and I'll ease up on Doug Russell since he did allow GAD to promote this on his show and was a really good sport about it. Russell and Sparky have been great about promoting this and we thank them for it. It is just that his comment and that other caller's comment on the postgame show were from guys who I think missed key moments. It's not like the guys who visited Kohl can sit there for the entire game to allow every fan to witness it.......they've got a 30 second window and that's it.

I just think that initially people's expectations were that hundreds or thousands would flood the BC with bags. But in reality that was never possible. Even go back to the days of those N.O. Saints protests and it was a small group of diehards. But guess what, people remember those guys 20 years later.

For those who didn't think it was effective, they just missed the key moments like the parade around the lower bowl.....Nowak and company getting edited off the jumbotron with Andrea Williams.....the Kohl visit.....and greeting a few thousand fans as they left on the SouthEast escalator (including a large Chinese contingent that started taking photos)

I was walking to brothers and decided to come home and post these. These are just a few of the ones I have the rest are on my myspace page. You may need an account to look at those. Others took photos and video too so those will be up tomorrow. We didn't get a good shot of the harassment of Kohl since the Usher was blocking us from going. But when the guys went down there Kohl was all startled and was frantically calling for the Usher to get them out of there. I think he had a seizure. Anyways, it was a great time and wish you guys could have made it. We paraded through the concourses numerous times and chanted and harassed the patrons leaving going down the escalator. I think with that AP photo we got some good exposure.

Some guys next to me started a Bobby Simmons chant everytime he attempted (and missed) a field goal.

It was even funnier when they started the "Bogut's Earning" chant (Bogut had a huge rock on his left ear). Bogut kept looking over and laughing with CBell and Yi.
