It's kind of expensive obviously, but it's an option.I know for the spring game they had just basic bread and coldcuts with a bag of chips, a cookie, a bottled water/soda and a fruit. Available for a meal swipe. They don't need to give out gorilla mugs and nachos, but maybe have a separate tent or something where kids can get a meal swipe meal.

Being able to skip the boring band performance that was the same every week, get a meal on a meal swipe, and wait for the second half.
someone said a meal swipe option at the football game would keep the student from leaving and i agree completely with them. no one wants to spend 7 meal points on a slice of pizza and a drink. i chose to starve and support the team, but a lot of other people chose to eat dinner instead.
i think night games will almost always be more hyped and have a better atmosphere than day games. no sun, blinding us (which btw the best part about the press tower from a students perspective is simply that it makes the sun set earlier.) and food in the stomach makes things much more enjoyable.
I have seen multiple Facebook statuses and photo albums from LU students that basically indicate their schedule yesterday was "Football, dinner, hockey".
You may think the ROT and Tilley and Hockey are "excuses", but thats what's important to LU students. SJ, you never lived on campus, you simply don't understand the culture. FF30, BJ and I have lived on campus, we understand what our dormmates are like. They like to go to football games, but not many are committed enough to stick around for a whole game unless it was against someone we'll never play at home like Tech or UVA.
I think the JMU game was a good display of how our students can and will be great fans for a football game. How easily we forget the student support VERY EARLY for that game, and a lot of them stayed despite a stupidly bad rain storm. Kids from the area know JMU, a lot have friends there. Most LU kids wouldn't know Charleston Southern was a college or a railway company unless they try to learn more about LU sports.

Keenan wrote:Mike Brown should learn a lot from this game when he watches it on film. I think the three picks will only make him better in the future as far as not locking in on one receiver and telegraphing passes.Honestly, I know CSU's coverage was pretty good, but Mike underthrew 4 of those passes and there should have been 3 or 4 PI calls. I would call it handicapping ourselves more than CSU stopping us, minus the good reads on the INT's.
Did CSU create the blueprint for the rest of the Big South to follow on how to cover Chris Summers?

Their "blueprint" was basically to grab and push and ignore the rules and let the flags fall where they may, which for the most part they didn't. I know some here have made a point of saying that Chris was pushing off, but IMHO he was interefered with 7 or 8 times. Hopefully we will send some video to the BSC head of officials and they will reinforce the fact that just because a receiver is big and talented it doesn't mean you can mug him every time the ball is thrown his way.

Between the sound being horribly low, how in the heck do you throw t shirts when the team is lining up with 13 seconds left on the play clock. If I was Rocco, I would ream the game day marketing people for this. Unacceptable!

*also, this doesnt sound like a Gameday ops issue as much as a Cheerleader coach decision.

Of course, it could be worse.....like that time the cheerleaders delivered the Royal Purple Road Rally prize before the race ended.

Maybe CSU is getting better but in 07 and 08 we beat them handily with less talent. We had a huge win vs. Ball State and played JMU off their feet, but it is the conference games that count. I think we will win the conference and go to the playoffs, but we have to play with more consistency.

I blame the tool running the promotion standing by the scores table
