That is interesting. I actually really like it. It sends simple messaging.

We have the most unique mascot in all of college sports but constantly plaster the lamest most uninspired tag line in the history of sports.

Same energy....

I get what you're saying, but Team Blue works pretty well IMO - not because it's terribly original, but because it's constantly and consistently reinforced.  It's a brand now.

Fair point. I actively hate it, but if it helps bond the team and bring us a deep NCAA run. I'll shut the fuok up.

Really like this hire, bringing Will back ... looks good that he wanted to return.  Recruiting wise he has ties in several areas.. I just keep seeing Rob Loe yelling Let's Go !  ( think that could have been in the UMass game to win the conference or maybe N.C. State)

Team Blue is just so damn generic. Are fans supposed to refer to the squad as Team Blue?

I don’t think it’s for fans as much as it’s for teammates.

Students, student athletes, alumni, faculty, are all Billikens.

The basketball team is Team Blue. A smaller subset within the Billiken community.

I think it’s to promote a family environment amongst the players. 

I think it’s kind of boring but whatever.

This. There's no need to use it as a marketing brand.

Welcome back Will, but man I'm tired of TEAM BLUE in big bold letters and an impossibly tiny Billiken logo

 

Agreed. There are plenty of blue teams but only ONE Billiken team.

Big Blue works for Kentucky. I am not sure why we are questioning the logic of the best recruiter in school history. But sure, you guys probably know what you are talking about. :)

Maybe you answered your own question by needing to refer to him as the best recruiter instead of something more meaningful.

05, maybe I can help you on your quest to get rid of this whole thing- I'd  just like to point out that as a lifelong Democrat,  I love the moniker Team Blue!

So, it wasn't for a better title, just more money?

Just more money.  His base salary paid by SLU had to be under $150,000 because it is not listed on the 990.  His base salary paid by South Carolina was $241,000.
