@ValpoShams @SlowMesh1 UIC hosted SIU in January with an announced attendance of 778. Given that several hundred SIU fans were there, UIC'S season ticket base must be below 500.

@SlowMesh1 No way UIC’s or Belmont’s is right. Valpo also had an awful start and was way better at the end but we don’t inflate the numbers at all. Evansville’s is so wrong too.

Average Home Attendance/Gm per MVC 1. Bradley - 5803 2. Murray St - 5232 3. ISU - 4616 4. Ind St - 4568 5. Evansville - 4088 6. SIU - 3982 7. UNI - 3779 8. Drake - 3429 9. Belmont - 2013 10. UIC - 1621 11. Valpo - 1440

<whispers> The Valley is sending its best team to the Dance

@Dawgs_MBB Nagy's style of play at SIU is worse offense but faster than Mullins. So there are just a higher volume of missed shots. Not exactly entertaining. IDK what happened to the offensive mastermind they hired, but he's not the guy they got.

Once again, a lot on both sides can be true… Bryan won many big games BUT didn’t build deep enough teams to get over the hump AND didn’t score enough (the real reason he was fired, Tim & Lane hated his style most of all). And because of it, he didn’t get the support which is of course ridiculous. Scott isn’t built for now’s college basketball because this era of players NEED consistent motivation and a LEADER, not a sore loser. Not someone who will belabor tough/changing times and not bounce back as strong as they need to OR adjust. He also just needs to get more used to this more challenging competition. This isn’t the Horizon League anymore. The Mullins talk should end with everyone. We look forward in whatever decisions are made, like it or not. It’s all we can do. The bar was set so high back in the day with also a way different style of play and way to succeed. The players in this last decade+ just keep getting better and better. It’s more challenging to win now.

@RickZ66 @Citizens4STL Probably 30-50% of the cars parked on downtown streets don't have valid tags. Some are even owned by sheriff's deputies and folks who have no excuses.

@Citizens4STL Privatize towing services and let police tow vehicles for unpaid tickets and no plates. Make people prove insurance and paid taxes before returning vehicle.

PHOTOS: In yet another sign of disorder in the City of St. Louis, this one entirely self-inflicted, this “hookah bus” regularly parks illegally for long periods of time in Downtown, and has now racked up $2,000 in unpaid parking fines. Oh, and the registration is expired too. It leaves us wondering whether the City is serious about enforcing laws and collecting parking fines, how much money the City loses as a result, and if the Treasurer’s office (which is responsible for collecting parking fines) actually functions? Add this to the seemingly absent enforcement of traffic laws, the abandoned cars parked on city streets, and the growing number of unregistered vehicles. It’s this kind of indifference to ordinary municipal functions that erodes the reputation of the City and Downtown. #Citizens4STL @SLMPD @MitchellMcCoy @GovMikeKehoe @stltreasurer @CFDstlfd @saintlouismayor @saintlouispres @SLDCmo @DevelopStLouis @AlderSheenBean @JamiCMichele @LishaLiberty @shanecohn @VDanielaV @Schweitzer88 @OldenburgSTL @STL4Ward @schubbard10 @boydstuff @GreaterSTLinc @CommerceBank @enterprisecares @Cardinals @horseshoestl @Advantes @UnionStationSTL @HiltonBallpark @AquariumSTL @Stifel @SchnuckMarkets @DowntownStLouis @stlcid @carolinehecker @charliekmox @andybankertv @rlippmann @solomonreports @DavidAmelottiTV @MarkMaxwellTV @ChrisHayesTV

@Citizens4STL An abandoned bus at 17th and pine was left for months last winter until somebody set it on fire.

@Citizens4STL Parking enforcement is useless. It's illegal and unsafe to park within 20ft of stoplights but they don't even bother. Half the curbs aren't painted yellow. Some even have meters installed at these illegal spots. There's two cars constantly at 8th and Olive.

Just about every established DI school in the Midwest (and probably elsewhere) is in the middle of a decades long attendance decline. But other than that ...

@byEliHoff @Kwjohnson89 This year they're not simulcasting SECN+ games on ESPN+. From @caesardan stltoday.com/sports/column/…

@Kwjohnson89 Technically women are on SECN+ but should still be on there, I think

Welcome to the first day of college basketball season. #Mizzou men’s basketball tips off at Howard at 6 p.m on ESPN+. The MU women tip off at home against Central Arkansas at 6:30. A thread of @stltoday stories to get you ready…

@BroncoBarn @NCAAIceHockey @TheNCHC @WMUHockey When did the logo change? The 2021 refresh still shows the yellow within the horse.

aaaaand they put the wrong logo. Fantastic.

Dumb shit like this is why using the term mid-major for all leagues outside of a few is idiotic, but sure the 10th and 28th ranked leagues are the same.

@stlcsb ninth Street just south of market, this manhole type thing needs to be anchored in place. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

The Warriors have recalled guard Yuri Collins from Santa Cruz. Collins was assigned to Golden State's G League affiliate on Thursday and tallied 23 points and 13 assists in last night's game against the Oklahoma City Blue.

FYI we are also an inactive franchise, ready and willing to be reactivated.
