I really can't think of anything else at this time. You did compile a nice list of suggestions on this board and I think a few are of those suggestions will be considered . For one. I think a statue of out Mascot or something else, that's a symbol of SB University, at the entrance of Lavelle Stadium is a terrific idea.. I'm not so sure if a huge Bronze WOLFIE is what were looking for but they should get the idea though.

You know how Notre Dame fans/athlete's have a second nick name "Golden domers" in addition to "Fighting Irish". I think someone mentioned in this thread or some where else of us having a second nickname...
How about "the submarines"?

1) Seawolf is a submarine creature
2) there is a military submarine class named Seawolf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seawolf ..homage to our navy ..and intimidating
3) its unique!

Proper use:
1) the away section is filled with enthusiastic submarines
2) here comes the submaries
3) submarines are leading Albany by 30 with 2 minutes to go

lol

its corny.. but catchy i think

So i went last night- it was more of a how do we get alums to connect with the university, less of just give us your ideas.  But thats ok i gave them our ideas anyway.  It was run by a Boston ad company.

It was intimate, as in only 3 other alums, all of which were great people and very accomplished.  We talked for almost 2 hours about feedback on the alumni process, what the university could do better, how do we sell the university on new students, etc. 

I summarized all of our ideas into a packet, discussed a few major ones, and gave them the entire packet.

It was really great to meet other alums- like yourselves- that are so focused on making SB better.

Which brings me to another idea-

Alumni Email- other universities, when you graduate, your email automatically becomes dot-alumni and you have it forever.  Its not exactly benevolent; its a way to solicit donations, but also to keep people informed. 

One of the points that repeatedly came up last night was- SB is great / not enough people know.  So with that i thought- what a tragedy.  Our issue isnt acheiving greatness; its that we have and we cant get the word out. 

Wouldnt the above idea help.

Technically, we had an ESPN sponsored "Battle" game a few years ago.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_for_the_Butter

I personally preferred "Mobsters vs Lobsters".

There are plenty of SBU legends, none of them that I can think of paint SBU in a positiive light (Sherman Raftenburg and the Physics building basement debacle are the biggest two that come to mind).

I love the alumni email idea, the wolf statue, the flag, all of it!
