re: So Drew sucks

I have to agree. Big fan of Drew, but I'd just like to see him get in somebody's grill sometime.....or somebody get in his. A great quarterback carries the team on his back and, win or lose, leaves it all out there on the field. Still hoping for a good second half of the season.

Some random thoughts:

Back in the day, late 60s into 70s, the student sections were always crowded. We would squeeze so many people into the rows that it looked like a cattle pen. Most people were there before the game started. It was just the thing to do on Saturday afternoons.

There may have been a large chunk of folks that said they were done in 2015 and meant it. Who knows.

It sure looks bad on TV from the west side looking east and prime seats are empty.

We have solid fan base of about 40 - 45,000. The key is to have a marketing program to sell the other 20,000 seats. I don't know what the method or logistics would be, but I'd try to get the unsold tickets into the hands of high schoolers, middle schoolers and even grade schoolers. Maybe we can create a future fan base.

I drive a long way every year to attend one game (Auburn last year), but if I lived within 300 miles of Columbia, I'd get season tickets. We even drove to Shreveport in 2005!

It is sad what's happened. I sure wish I had the answer.

Good bulletin board material. He's right about the beer.
I've never posted on this board before, but I have to disagree big time. Leaving an imploding conference was the best thing we ever did. We are now playing in the best conference with constant exposure for our programs, our university and our state. We never had that in the Big XII or the Big 8. I've lived in the south (Texas and Louisiana) and loved it. The people are no BS genuine, and the most hospitable folks I've ever met.

By the way, much of the Missouri River valley was settled by folks from Tennessee and Virginia, and the original 300 families to settle Texas were from Mo. We have a lot more in common with these people than you think. SEC....!

First couple seasons at CU, they were talking about MacInyre the way some of us are talking about Odom. It wasn't until he got his signees in place that it started to gel. He's a great recruiter.

That's interesting. We hear that BO wanted to install the current defense last year, but didn't. And if the defensive line coach is not speaking with the DC, then all that mess falls on the shoulders of one HCGP.
Maybe we need to reduce the student section by 50%. When I went there a million years ago, the student sections were packed. We would squeeze everybody in who wanted to sit with us. The protest really devastated the attendance. Maybe it's time to have some really great pricing on the empty seats or a "knot hole" gang program, where at half time, anybody can get in for $5 and sit anywhere.

they don't remember 1-10 under Big Al in '71.

I agree. I'm a huge DL fan, but sometimes sitting a guy can help him focus better. He can either get that Drew McMopey look off his face and man up or he pouts and maybe you never had the right guy to begin with. Zanders looked serious out there, and besides, he threw the one, nice pass to the middle of the field...and the WR actually caught it. Time to let Zanders start. You can always pull him if things go south.
