Attack U: An Inside Look at Ohio Basketball '13

Posted: 1/31/2013 12:08:36 AM

In the EMU thread Tyler posted something mentioning STO running reruns on Feb 20. I noticed this is the title of one of the reruns.

I am excited.

Why the hell are they calling it "Attack U"? Does anyone ever think these things through? All In was a decent title, and worlds better than this dumbass idea.

They've used "Attack U" for years now. I have a T-shirt.

It might just be me but it has a negative connotation. Sounds like what a criminal does.

I like Attack U ... it fits so nicely with BobcatAttack. I doubt that was the intent when the Athletic Dept. came up with the attack theme, but I like it.

I love Attack U. I was scared it was a one year thing when they 1st brought it out... I personally would love us to push that front.

Attack U is horrible.

Not exactly positive 'branding.' Especially in light of campus (schools at all levels) events,

Look at it this way. If you were trying to come up with a name which is bad, which carries bad connotations, which ties to recent events in a Saturday Night LIve making fun kind of way, could you come up with better than 'Attack U.'?

Here's two-seconds-of-thought options: Full Throttle 'Cats. 'Cat Karma, Warrior Bobcats (m johnson), etc etc

It feels odd saying this, but I agree with Monroe here. Isn't our athletic department trying to make a push to get people to stop calling us "Ohio U"? If that's the case then why are we pushing a nickname with "U" right in it?

Brand confusion.

Well, the odd couple grows to the fearsome threesome . . . as I agree with this. I've always been a little uncomfortable with the Attack U concept for this very reason. It's not that I hate Attach U (like I do the PAW), but it's just that it seems inconsistent with our overall marketing effort. I can live with Attack U, but I don't really like it.

It beats "Triple Option U" and "No Transition Points U."

I like it. I'll watch sports regardless, but the average fan wants something exciting. An attacking team is exciting. Put points on the board. Take some risks, make some big plays, get the fans into it.

It's also better than Hate U:

Jeez.. Maybe next year they will just name it Ohio University: An Inside Look at Ohio Basketball '14. I don't see any big push to re-brand or confuse anybody with the name "Attack U". It's different, catchy, and "sexy" as Russ would say. Does it not describe Ohio basketball (or who we want to be)? It's also something that OSUcks can't easily steal like with what they did with "Relentless"

I'll tell ya where we'll go. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talkin' bout a little place called... ATHENS.

We should also stop calling it attacking the lane and shooting the ball. Wouldn't want anybody getting the wrong idea. Also, the name "attack cat" should go. Maybe we should have a fuzzy, friendly cat.

I also disliked "All In" because it promotes gambling.
