Wallabies 2023

I'll send it to the Tahs gameday producers.

Make sure you charge handsomely - I'll take 40%

They have people who produce?

They have people who produce?

They have geniuses who chose a dreary crowded house song to rev up the crowd pre game and clowns is speedos racing around eating pies at half time as entertainment

I guess if you don’t have to pay your players you can probably put a bit more into your pre-game entertainment

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

They have players earning as much as Super Rugby players now with NIL and they are at best mid tier competitive. (Just like us)

They pay nothing to Metallica as they live the continued exposure.

Having about 60k students on the piss in the stands might also help with the atmosphere just a tad, regardless of the organised entertainment. You could play Beethoven's 3rd Symphony and it would still be electric

 

[MarkJ]

Doesn’t the money the players earn (and it’s not all of them I think) come from endorsements rather than being paid by the college? And the TV rights deals the colleges sign up to are huge compared to super rugby

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Correct, but the schools can organise the endorsements themselves and have a pool of resources to give out like third party deals.

Players can seek their own on top such as social media and things like that.

Agreed, but there must be something between 60k students jumping to Sandman and the pre game dirge the tahs "producers" play before games at the moment

Consider yourself lucky that you didn't have to experience the era where the Reds played the below Reds-themed remix of Wiz Khalifa's Black and Yellow

Similarly, when they seemed to play endless instrumental loops of both Remember the Name and Lose Yourself...

They have geniuses who chose a dreary crowded house song to rev up the crowd pre game and clowns is speedos racing around eating pies at half time as entertainment

This was actually something the Tahs players wanted and had nothing to do with the gameday production. They actually tried to convince the Tahs not to use it.

Guess this might be an example from closer to home:

Though that only really works in a packed stadium. When it's half full it's not quite the same

WTF? Are they all old men?

That's still better then the video the Tahs were playing on the big screens when they scored a try this season. Sorry Tah fans that was one of the worst things I have seen in Super Rugby

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

No harm done with how many people go

 

[Ignoto]

Crowd entertainment and engagement peaked with the XXXX push up boys and has never recovered since they retired.

XXXX boys are all likely in their 50's now!!!

It's already been four years since they made a comeback.

Florida Gators' fans singing Won't Back Down in a Tom Petty tribute is pretty awesome too. Few vids of that.
