Jesus. We didn’t any of that bullshite when I was at the Zou from 08-12.
Tigers Lair included the perks of the best seating in the House and a game day item to be used during the game.
The school and the program at large however do shite to market their product statewide and that’s the main failing.
It’s a quick drive from St. Louis to CoMo. Expand the fricken fanbase for one.
As for students. I have no idea about this new bunch that don’t give a frick. It’s sad.
So many still insecure I guess about the protests. That salty arse white priveledge thing I guess of “how dare they,” whether you agree with how things were done or not.
Go enjoy some fricking football and growth as a person.

This is what SLU is doing this year to get students to the game.
They have an app that you "check in" on. You get points towards the student store, and other apps. Example, one game = 10 points. If you go to every home basketball game you'll have enough points for a jersey in two years.

The protests aren't what's hurting student attendance, however momentum was lost with that clown-show so I suppose it can be one of the many reasons.
It's a combination of a lot of things.
A massive increase in tech-entertainment and tech-culture that wasn't there when you were in school a decade ago (let that sink in).
Obviously all the stuff that surrounds the in-game experience kind of sucks.
Assault of advertisements. A lot of submitting to a bunch of nonsense. It's draining and annoying and repetitive.
New-age game productions with t-shirts shot into the crowd, stupid zombie games on the jumbotron and a constant barrage of the same jock-jams songs we've all heard ten thousand times isn't cool and it's ruining the experience of live baseball, hockey, football.

Yeah this 'social-credit' system is coming and it's coming hard.
It's a thing in Asia.
It'll be a thing here.
Just like your credit score dictates your ability to get a loan, etc.
Your social score will start to have a similar impact.
It's a control mechanism for the international-state.

So like, 80+ will get you into harpos?

Now that may be an idea. Is the checkin actually accurate though? Is it location based where you have to actually be in the stadium?
I suppose the merch idea is a decent enough route. Seems like the university could also partner with local businesses and restaurants as well to draw fan excitement.
First come first served catering outside the stadium for students with tickets. That kinda thing.

80 points and/or pretty good boobs get ya in, yes.
For real, though, in China if you go against the status-quo on social platforms you may lose your ability to travel, you may lose internet privileges, employers won't hire you, you can be blocked from establishments. It's wild and forms of it are showing here and will continue to grow globally.

Seth McFarlane’s “The Orville” parodied the stupidity of legitimate social currency pretty well.
I hope I’m dead before that level of nonsense crosses the ocean. Though in a sense I suppose it has with the way employers can hound your personal lives through social media.

I'll have to check that episode out for sure.
It seems a lot of what Seth does is predictive programming, so it's kind of unnerving to hear that he has an episode on it.
But yeah, hoping that doesn't happen here.
What is alarming is this seems to be widely accepted in China - people seem to enjoy self-policing for the corporate-state.
It's a scary notion.
Back to regular scheduled football talk - that stuff is a dark spiral.

As for the game experience: hurry it the frick up. The TV timeouts have killed live games. It really has. It went over the line. It's now taking a younger generation to rebel
Ding ding ding ding ding ding!!
This is the answer. I know for me personally, I’d much rather watch a game on TV than in person because I get a better view, and I’m not stuck watching a bunch of players stand around doing nothing on the sideline during a long TV timeout in the hot sun. There are only ~7 minutes of actual action in a football game, the rest of it is players standing around between plays. Brutal.

Cut the shite. It's a message board, not English class. They didn't attack you personally so don't start it. If you disagree, do so. That is fine.

It wouldn't be between "personally" and "so?"
More importantly, has anyone ended a sentence on a preposition?

Correct. Between "personally" and "so."
And yes, the "no ending in an apostrophe" is simply an old guide, not a felony-level crime. Few would say, "Of what are you afraid?" Most would say, "What are you afraid of?"

I think the proper structure would be:
They didn't attack you personally. So, don't start it.
