Desperation is trying an onside kick when you are behind in the 4th quarter, you are out of tos, and there is little time left. Trying it when you are ahead in the 3rd quarter with lots of time left and you have momentum is insanely stupid.

So, did anyone actually go to the game, and if so, was it a huge shitshow? It must have been real bad for Guenther Jr. to actually tweet this.

From everything I have read, it was.  But what do you expect from Guenther Jr.? Everything remains on the cheap in ECI and no one down there thinks anything of it. Illinois AD office remains the worst elements of the Cub, Sox, Bull, and Hawk organ-i-zations rolled into one. 

The damned stadium was not even 2/3 full.

I would imagine the issue was that they were short on employees

Because they cannot find employees or Guenther Jr. did not want to pay for them? I will go with the latter based on history. A big part of the story is that none of the scanners were working properly at the entrances or the concessions. Maybe Guenther Jr. had them buy some some cheap Soviet hacker knockoff software.

Sounds like they also ran out of water by like halftime or something.  Which is pretty hilarious.

Another issue is that people don’t download their e-tickets beforehand, they wait to pull them up at the entrance and it crushes the cell bandwidth for the area. So you have people trying to pull up e-tickets blocking the way for others who are ready to go. Saw this happen at college World Series back in June.

There’s no excuse for running out of water. It’s not the first time thats happened, which is absurd.

I’d imagine they’re having personnel issues like every other food/concessions/venue in the US. I doubt it’s because Whitman won’t pay them.

Your faith in Guenther Jr. actually spending money on stuff like this is your weakness...especially since they did not have enough $4 bottles of water to sell. Champaign County unemployment rate was above 4% as of June.

You also put out the welcome mat for fans of the visiting team from Wyoming for the team's 1st visit to C-U for a football game, Josh.

That's actually a good point.  Although, I actually drank one of those at a Rockies game last weekend, and remarkably enough, I found it refreshing.

Probably true, but it sounds to me like they just weren't ready, in many facets. 

There are places that hold over 100,000 people.  It will be interesting to see if they have the same kind of problems. 

As far as concessions.  There are tons of organizations around that will be happy to volunteer to run a concession stand.  No excuse for having stands closed.  And, surely the athletic department can pony up for more scanners, more people and better internet around there.  Basically, they need to get their shit together.  Come up with a way.  I'm sure there are experts out there that can help them handle crowds. 

Sounds like it wasn't just the stadium experience, either.  The tailgating, parking, everything was basically fucked.  It's like they never had D1 football there before.  Embarassing.

I know.  I hated to do it, but when in Rome...

They didn't have Natty light.

One thing I found charming.  A Coors Light tall boy was 12.50.  For a ballpark, not bad, I guess.  So, I bought one for myself and one for my son.
The charming part was that they actually charged tax, on top of the price.  So, it was 27.00 for 2 ice cold Coors light tall boys.  Colorado loves charging tax on stuff, being up front about it, and saying, what's up, bitch?

Anyway, I loved that ballpark.  I watched Evan Longoria hit a grand slam, putting the Giants up 6-2, only for the game to go into extras, with the Giants winning 8-6.  It's neat how a nice, easy swing sends a ball out of that place.  I felt like I could hit 30 home runs there.

We should inspect Guenther Jr's laptop and find a way to save the Illinois taxpayers some real money on Guenther Sr.'s pension.
