THURSDAY NIGHT'S GAME: Brown Paper Bags
« on: February 08, 2010, 07:29:10 PM »
Hey everyone,

I will be at the game on Thursday night vs. Louisville.

I was doing some thinking and decided it's time to organize a bit and rally the troops. I will be bringing a brown paper bag to the game with "FIRE NORM" written in big letters with a marker. IF we are losing by a good amount or its coming down the stretch and losing is inevitable, I will most definitely put it on and stand up and make my voice heard.

I think it would be a great idea if a BUNCH of us are doing this. Anyone game for this?

 Don't ask me why or to explain how. But i think St.John's actually wins on thurs.  Just a gut feeling.  Norm is due for his once a year win over a team he shouldn't beat.  Louisville isn't all that.

Visual, should appear well, and just after the Saints will will remind people of fans who cheer for a team that can't help but to lose. Sucks for the players to see that but it's better than the chants.  Nice idea.

Draw a few plays on the bags, especially if we see a 1-3-1 zone.

LOL Norm would DEFINITELY be looking back into the crowd and studying our bags if we did that.

You have a better chance of getting on air and security will give you a little more leeway.

Fire Norm and you will have 5 seconds until security comes.

One more thing.  If you are serious you should bring a bunch in and hand out.  Otherwise, it will be futile

already ahead of you on it.  ive spoken to a prominent member of the st. johns student section about bringing a bunch of bags to hand out to students.  hes still deciding whether to do it or not.

Think maybe Norm deserves something better? Just a thought

I'm actually not too sure about this plan.  I mean chanting for Norm's head is one thing but bags over all of the players classmate's heads is a little bit of a slap in the face to the kids on the floor more than the coach and we all know it's not the players fault.  Nonetheless, if someone in the student section hands out paper bags, I will put one over my head.

Aren’t you concerned that the brown paper bags will confuse Pitino?

Do you remember what Karen Sypher looked like?
He may think the bags are for him.

I'd rather see the paper bags than the chants. I'll even sponsor a brown bag night.

  Paper bags are an insult to the players. They will be offended and rightfully so.  I say chant away. This is on Norm,  not the kids.  A grown man, who choses to coach , should be able to withstand calls for his job.  Its part of the deal. 


 Pitino did a lot better than Steve Philips though.  Good God man!
