I think Vim Zone is now my favorite.JDoub wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 3:33 pmI like Gold Mine!
Ideas from our fight song:
Vim Zone
The SUAC (Stand Up And Cheer)
Gold Wave
The Den
Vim Block
I didn't realize this is for basketball, but could work for football too I guess
I did like the MUSS when we lived in SLC - Mighty Utah Student Section - good for all sports & seems unique

I guess if you think about it, all team names are gimmicks to promote the teams and are really kind of strange.

People tend to get too cute with nicknames. Take the Seattle NHL team. The Seattle Kraken? Sounds like some independent league team when the following options were available.
Seattle Steelheads
Seattle Salmon
or, if you want a mythical name … Seattle Sasquatch.
Kraken is just dumb and has nothing to do with the PNW.
Gold Mine. Wrap it up because the contest is over.
Their color scheme is hideous though. I like hockey and I'd love to switch my affiliation from the Blues to the Kraken but I just hate the colors too damn much. Need to get to a game though.
To each their own but I still see it as a gimmicky name and somewhat of an embarrassment.

Re: Name the student section
The Gold Mine. I like it. It would work for basketball and football alike. And Volleyball. And Track. Anywhere that a physical area can be devoted to the pep band, the cheer squads, and the students. It could even be portable, traveling to Boise and to Frisco every year. Need a few timbers for visual identity or a gateway. Lots of gold clothing (indoors and warm weather). I can see this in my mind’s eye …PapaG wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 12:17 pmI liked Gold Mine as well.

Bobcat Student Section. Naming that area something else is about as cheesy as changing Cat-Griz to "Brawl of the Wild."

Re: Name the student section
I kind of agree. I do think if they force it, it could be pretty dumb. If somebody comes up with something great, I'm all for it. If it's an eye roller, "Bobcat Student Section" is a better name.

Antidisestablishment just isn't practiced anymore. Can't stand doing something new just because it's the latest, lame fad.

Doesn't matter if it's cheesy if it works. Other than the Cat/Griz game the basketball student section already has a name and it's Empty Seats.

Precface: I'm shizbammed.
Idea: student section has subsections/tiers.
Green circles: those who are there to socialize and look at their phones
Blue squares: come to some games, show interest in the game but not overly vocal.
Black Diamond: come to most games. Pretty vocal
Double black Diamond. Super fan who comes to all games and lives and dies with a bobcat win or loss.
Student section called "The slope" "the avalanche" "the mountain" "the ridge" or something like that with tiered seating sections. Double black Diamonds are front and center...

Hey! You've got it! Cheesy Empty Seats Section with Cute Nickname!
Too bad MSU isn't in a town that lends itself to something like the zoo...
Wonder if you could get some connection to the Chinese Weather Balloon and all the ICBMs from the last couple of days? (I know, MSU doesn't offer aeronautical engineering but still...) Somehow tie that into all the Huawei Cell Towers various and assorted cell providers are using right next to all of the silos? Maybe have a big drum in the middle of the section and call it the Boom Room?

When the south EZ first opened, I proposed Area 52...in honor of Coach Holland.
Also, "brawl of the wild" is super lame. Should be called "the great divide"
Just my 2 cents....

The Bobcat Den…OR simply, The Den…or The Lair!
The Den or Lair is their “home”, and it smells of all things Bobcat. It’s their ultimate safe place and the place they would fight to the death to defend.
So, that’s my 2 cents!

Re: Name the student section
Then the bookstore needs to get their s#!t together and actually start selling gold gear. I hate that are team colors are blue and gold and all they sell is yellow clothing. They had one Vegas gold Tshirt during their Christmas sales that I bought and love. We need more options though. More Vegas gold please!Bobcat4Ever wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 10:39 pmThe Gold Mine.
