If you are suggesting removing Cotton Eye'd Joe, Thank God i'm a country boy, and American Badass I strongly disagree...
Just to clarify a bit.... the UM Marketing Department is a separate entity then the UM Athletics Marketing Department.
One is doing a good job (sold out stadium, apparel sales, advertising revenue, etc.) the other...not so good!!

Think of marketing like the the AMA defines it, "the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large."
Creation, communication and delivery are hugely deficient here. The exchange offering you describe is being impacted significantly by the relative mediocrity of the program since the last national title run. Translation, if the program continues to miss on its stated goals, winning the conference, beating state ag, & playoffs and so forth - you know, the long march toward irrelevance, the sell-outs go away, nobody wants the goods, and revenues dry up.
It comes down to leadership and money. I love Ms. S, but she's only the bridge to the next man or woman up. What they do to revitalize the U & how they decide to market that will be key. Then it really is about how much money can be allocated, as I've already said, they're going to have to prioritize bringing on the right talent and spend money advertising.
Absent leadership & money, the next best thing is to look for some incremental opportunity, find kids in the business program with ideas, take some risks on them and get back in the game. Oh yeah, fix the music and the fan experience. Doesn't cost much, and will quell the concerns of many. But that won't make a hell of a big difference unless that bastard captain green hat can get it done & they find some real leadership for everything else. #makeumgreatagain

By all means, lets not let opposing fans and recruits coming to the most advanced stadium and football atmosphere in all FCS forget we're really just a bunch of bumpkins and hicks.

I'd love them to throw on "Back in the Saddle Again" by Gene Autry, just because its a great song.
I'm for all these changes, as long as they don't change anything.

That song is awesome i'd love to see our guys come out of the tunnel to that song!
I Gotta Get Drunk
Willie Nelson
Well I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money
Calling everybody honey
And wind up singing the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck
On some old wreck
And brother I can name you a few
But I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I gotta get drunk I can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in town
Who'd like to hear me holler
See me spend my dollars
And I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down
There's a lot of doctors that tell me
That I'd better start to slowin' it down
But there's more old drunks
Than there are old doctors
So I guess we'd better have another round
Well now I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money
Calling everybody honey
And wind up singing the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck
On some old wreck
And brother I can name you a few
Well I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
Well I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

And brother I can name you a few
Well I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

I'd prefer "Blazing Saddles", we might as well be hicks with a sense of humor.
