“Not that it will concern any of my followers”

ahahahah

Yeah I picked up on that too. Nice to see the impact of the grief we've given him over the years

I found the most interesting news to be he has "followers"

Why would you not want tickets sold and a butts in seats number?  Finding root causes of why tickets were sold but not used would be something I would want to go after.

Go Bulls!

Well this will be one less thing to complain about...

Except that he is only not focusing on it because it is now like the majority of all other stadiums and no longer easily available. If your readers do not care to focus on it why focus on something that isn't typically covered in the sports world? Probably because you are a lazy dullard and it is low hanging fruit. That the stadium has normalized its policy isn't somehow a victory for Joey that is now lamenting that he may actually have to work for something he previously found important simply because it was readily available.

People that have any influence on fixing the root causes of attendance have a pretty good idea of actual attendance and are not relying on Joey to go to the TSA website once a week to Tweet the numbers for them. The reason it is an issue is because since we were the only ones reporting actual attendance vs announced attendance a narrative was created that we were doing something nefarious or were somehow doing it at rate greater than other schools (the Wall Street Journal thru information requests was able to show that we were very average in our gap and nowhere near the level of even other state schools covered by the Times, i.e. FSU).

Let’s say you are taking a class with Dr Milani and his test is intentionally made excruciatingly difficult with an understanding that the grade will be curved with a standard bell curve to normalize the results. You get a 60 which is atrocious but when compared to the other scores you standardize to an 80 B. The Oracle decides to do an article on how difficult Dr Milani’s tests are and they easily find your actual grade and report on that while only giving the curved grades for every other student and pointing out that while you got a 60 you claim to have gotten an 80. Everything in the article would be technically correct but the added information on you while not for the others would make it appear that you were below average to the rest of your class and trying to inflate your grade. It’s not like half of colleges are having their actual attendance regularly reported, it’s not like it’s a quarter, it’s one out of 130 and that lack of perspective to the information is why it is worthless but gives a perception that is damaging.

He should insist the TSA provide numbers....It has seemed so important over the years for the Bulls.

TSA?  Like at the airport?
