Scheduling a likely Q1 game on a neutral floor in your home state is seen as beyond the pale because if you lose you make a Jesuit guy in Creve Coeur feel good for 24-48 hours. And you can't have that because his team has an A-10 patch on the jersey instead of [insert P5 league].
SLU brought the crowd, brought a wealth of experience and brought the winning the moments.
Which begs the question, what possible benefit was there for #Mizzou to schedule this game? Story from STL:

Main takeaways from the limited precinct results we have in Mississippi:
- The turnout gap was real. Heavily-white precincts often had 60-70% of ballots cast vs. 2024 whereas heavily-black precincts were near 2024 levels
- the rural white gap closing a little was mostly turnout based I think but even then Colom got more votes than Harris in most rural heavily-white precincts even as turnout sorta collapsed in these places

Limited resources in the NIL era at Southern Miss. Tulane in much better position.
Rankin County (pre-affidavit) precinct results are up. rankincounty.org/egov/docume…
To my point about turnout, South Pearson (lone majority-black precinct in the county) had 94% of ballots cast vs. 2024. The whitest rural precincts it was closer to 70% or a little below that.
People talk about "AI is the worst it'll ever be right now." Will Hall-coached football is the same way but the opposite. Tulane might be losing 32-0 to Tulsa at the half but this is actually as good as they'll ever be for his tenure.
