re: My humble suggestions to fix the sad state of football weekends in Columbia

When I go to Mizzou i always get off at the business loop what a dump i was shocked that whole side of town is a shite show. You have the state's anchor university and Columbia should never look like that.

The condition of Columbia is not even remotely our problem. In fact, it's something that we should be using to boost our gameday experience. I have news for ya, pretty much every town in America with 100k+ residents has some shitty areas. But most of Columbia is lovely, and our campus + downtown is one of the better that I've seen. Sure, I've seen prettier campuses, and I've seen prettier college downtown/bar districts, but Columbia and Mizzou do both quite well. We also have tons of great parks/natural attractions around town that are still pretty much hidden gems for locals and students.

You might notice that for as much shite that SEC fans give us for our pitiful gameday atmosphere, they usually have nice things to say about downtown and the university.
