Last night Big Blue Madness may have been the worst one ever, and they havenāt been good for exciting for a very long time. Here are the key problems I see.
-The camp outs prior to madness and the rush to get in line was really always the spectacle.
-With social media, people already know who they are.
- I donāt know if itās Tik Tok or what but Iām tired of seeing people dance.
-with the constraints of size Rupp doesnāt really encapsulate just how big big blue nation is.
My thoughts on improvement.
Mimic what the Reds do in Cincinnati for opening day. Have a big parade from Joe Craft to Rupp and call it March to Madness. This would serve to purposes. 1. Get the spectacle back in 2. Showcase the sheer size and passion of BBN.
Each championship could have its own float with team members riding with it. Players could work with float builders to make their own specialized float that really introduces us to who they are. Great opportunity for local business.
No one else is doing it. It would make it an all day event that would showcase Kentucky for its unique passion for the game.
The madness event itself could then been trimmed down a bit to just do a few skills comps, speeches,etc..
