VS Dayton March 3

Well it is being marketing as "fan appreciation night". Not sure in what ways they are going to show the fans their appreciations, other than by naming the game "fan appreciation night".

They appreciate all of the "new fans".

 

[Eight Legger]

They better appreciate any fans that show up for the latest bloodletting tomorrow night... Maybe with free inclusion on the committee to help select our next coach?

I totally respect showing up to supports the players on senior night.
but the appropriate message to Hardt et al would be an empty RC.
we're 5-11 in conference after going 5-13 last year, and we just lost to 6-22 LUC ... who had only won 1 game in 2026 (LaSalle).
this isn't good enough.

Plus senior night already happened right?

It is fan appreciation night. I wonder who the lucky fan is who will be appreciated.

Probably a student from Quioccasin Middle School there on a free ticket…one of the new real fans.

Could be the one UR student who shows up?

Maybe a trophy will be given out if you stay the whole game.

Free koozies for the first 2,000 fans. Over/under on whether they'll have leftovers?

We used to give away tshirts.

A FREE KOOZIE?!?! Amazing! It's only March, but 1989 is already going to be the greatest year ever!

It’s quite possibly the cheapest tchotchke to give away. Next year it’ll be a logo pen or possibly a set of multicolored sticky notes.

And shoot balls for pizza. That went the wayside too.

We have got to have the worst in game giveaway/promotions than any other team in the conference. I told you guys the story of when I was a student and did one of those time out challenges where we putt a golf ball the whole length of the court through a cut out whole. The prize for this feat? It was like a $100-200 Amtrak gift card. Other schools are giving thousands of dollars in cash and we’re out here giving gift cards to go on a train.

I’ve pondered this and am coming back to one of two possibilities.

First, someone raided the promo coffers to pay for NIL funds.

Second, we fired/didn’t replace the promo pro and instead generated an AI-based promo schedule for the season that was trained on a really narrow LLM that only had 3-4 options.

But I’m certain there are other possibilities.
