Basketball Themes

tmjoel01 — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 15:30:39 -0000

As the SGA Student Athletic Director, I wanted to reach out to the Card Chronicle community once again to tap into your creative geniuses.

My main goal this year has been developing student spirit. At what we commonly refer to as a 'basketball school', we have been planning to institute a lot of new initiatives during the basketball season.

Honestly, you won't see anything new until the UK game on Jan. 4th, because of the difficulty getting students out to games over break. However, once the nationally televised games start, we are going to institute some very creative 'themes'.

While we have a lot set (please feel free to contact me at tmjoel01@louisville.edu to discuss privately) I want to make sure we exhaust all options.

If anyone has any themes they have wanted to see, please pass along the idea. While I can't promise anything, there is the possibility you will see your theme realized at a game this year. Now how exciting is that.

Best theme idea receives free season tickets to baseball this year.

Second best theme gets half off tickets to the next Nappy Roots and/or Code Red concert

Voting for Student Section Name

tmjoel01 — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:12:34 -0000

Voting for the official name of the student section at University of Louisville athletic events will take place all this week. It kicked off this morning and will go until Friday at 5 p.m.

Everyone is encouraged to go to uoflsports.com and vote. While this will be the name of the 'student' section, both SGA and the athletic department feel the life of the name will far extend the current student population and accordingly have opened the voting to the entire Cardinal community. Students are fully encouraged to vote and promotions and publicity have been developed to ensure current students are/will be aware of the voting.

If you have questions please direct them to myself, Trevor Joelson, the SGA Student Athletic Director. I can be reached by e-mail at tmjoel01@louisville.edu.

The results of the vote and the new name of the student section will be announced at the football game on Sunday.

Student Section Name

tmjoel01 — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 23:59:03 -0000

We are currently developing a rebranding of the student section for this coming year, with a focus on unity and intensified spirit. The name will be used to signify students at all U of L sporting events.

I seek your suggestions on a name for the new section. We have developed a list already, but I would like to get more ideas. While students will ultimately vote on the name come August, I think alumni and die hards are full of great idea and love the idea of living vicariously through the drunken 20 year olds.

Any other ideas on how to incite student spirit would be greatly appreciated as well.
