1) make stadium smaller (remove South addition)

2) reduce costs to attend - the loud, drunk, boisterous fans have been priced out and replaced by the corporate wine and cheese crowd.

3) reopen campus for parking/tailgating on GameDay

4) stop the all out war on Greeks

5) public/private partnership to buy Tigerland and clean it out

6) public/private partnership to build light rail line between Alex Box and Downtown BR

7) put Middleton's name on new library (I will give Tate credit...he was not a fan of this shite [was done before he got there] and none of the other "problematic" building names have been changed under his administration)

I wish Auburn had stayed the smaller hometown feel as it did 20 years ago. I know that evolution tends to growth but it isn't even remotely close to the same place I went to school to.


Even members of the Auburn city council will admit (privately) that they made a mistake with all the giant condo complexes against campus.

It’s ugly and I hate them.

I’ve thought and thought and can honestly say other than improving after game traffic management I can’t think of a thing I’d change about Georgia. It’s an awesome campus in a fun city.

“Conservative values”? Are you fricking kidding us? The things these weirdo people do in public would get you arrested in a lot of places.

Invest in the baseball program.

Build a new stadium, hire a good coach, and recruit locally. A lot of good players come out of Missouri, especially the St. Louis metro area, but most of them (understandably) go elsewhere.

One problem is our alumni base is primarily St. Louis and Kansas City, which are both a 2-hour drive from Columbia. Not many people are going to make that trip for baseball, especially a loser.

Stop giving big discounts for Texas students to enroll. Arkansas is a state sponsored school that should be focused on educating Arkansas kids, given that Arkansas is dead last in just about every category I’d say the University is failing in that regard.


You’re actually getting your wish this next school year.

Get slobbering Hog back on the bball court.

Make baseball affordable for the common man. It used to be the one good bargain. Our atmosphere for the average SEC game has taken a hit. It’s a real shame.

We need a massive upgrade in game day food/drink options and process.

I understand commercialization is needed to support $10M coaching salaries, facility upgrades, etc but I believe we all could agree it has gotten out of hand. The commercialization of tailgating, more than anything, has changed football in the south. At every school.

It’s tacky. Throwing toilet paper on trees just because your team eked out a win over N Central South Dakota State Trade School is pretty pathetic.

Put the students close to the field, nobody wants those lower row seats anyway.

Stop being a bitch about tailgating and parking, it kills what could be an awesome game day experience.

I graduated from an SEC school. I’d make it about the students again instead of the almighty $.

I wish our fan base was a little less arrogant and more self-aware. But we are petty awesome so I get it.
