What tv didn’t show was all the standing room only crowd back in shaded areas, and all people milling around inside the stadium getting concessions (incidentally, more internet bandwidth connected to the Point of Sale machines at Busch is needed, maybe something for Chaifetz to look at if everything is going no paper money). While some people maybe didn’t show after buying tickets, the place was packed.

I was there Friday, it was as packed as any game I was ever at, including playoffs and the 2013 World Series. Heck, more packed than some early playoff games

More golf carts to run people from the parking garage to Chaifetz and back seems easily doable. Maybe there is a place for a lot or garage down by the Med campus that they could run busses or shuttles between them? Maybe work with Humps or any other bar/restaurant to get buses to shuttle people to/from Chaifetz? Maybe a shuttle bus from say West County Mall, or St Charles or Arnold like the one from St Clair Square to Busch?

I must have missed the reason for the old threads being bumped too. By my count there are approximately 1186 pages of threads older than Dec 2021, each page with 25 threads on it. So potentially, 1186x25=29,650 old threads that could be bumped, which would make it impossible to use this site for any meaningful discussion.

Thanks! We sure keep the moderator busy sometimes….

Great job Becher!

Larson looked really good in spring soccer. I know those were only exhibition, but it looked like Coach Shields got them to take the games seriously, and they were playing hard.

They lost one senior and 1 transfer, who didn’t play much and got 1 assist all year. They add 7 incoming freshmen, a transfer who was the points leader at her old school (Julia Simon, from Louisville, 4 goals 3 assists as a freshman last year), Hannah Larson is back at full strength after missing last year (she had 8 goals and an assist as a freshman), and Emily Groark back after she only played 49 minutes last year (the year before she got 7 goals and an assist). So plenty added to a team that won a game on the road in the tourney. Lots to be excited about.

I like the fearless attitude

Classes start Aug 24th, so very little time left. Also, he’s about to miss a free trip to Europe…

Look at it this way, sure beats the alternative….

Just means I watch too darn much TV…

I thought Geico was the lizard?

Very true. I suppose the Big 10 could just schedule around it, no road games for UCLA against the U of Iowa, THE Ohio State University, Purdue and Indiana University, those teams can travel to UCLA. Bigger question for UCLA is what Gov Newsom will do to them. He heads their board of regents

Congratulations to Julia, Carol, Soph, and future Billiken Nina! Should be a great season coming up.
