    Just so stupid. I cannot understand why they think it is a good idea to use social media as a way to generate excitement over buy-game opponents over a two week period. Do they think those types of games are going to get people thrilled about buying season tickets?

    Better idea:

    Day 1: Announce Thanksgiving tournament
    Day 2: Announce Wisconsin date
    Day 3: Announce other major opponents
    Day 4: Announce the exhibition and buy-games.
    Day 5: Mention conference opponents (dates not set yet) and recap.

    It does seem odd, I wonder what their reason is by doing this. We already know four dates already. (Vandy, Georgia, Wisconsin and 2K Classic)

    I agree. Stretching it out really does not create excitement among non-STHs (who probably are not following MU on social media). And, it just irritates STHs and other more interested fans who just want the facts.

    So, what is the reason MU does this? I hope nobody gets irritated, it's not that big of a deal in early July.

    An outdated concept of judging your web success based on "page views" or something similar. Or maybe they truly think that it builds excitement for two weeks before season tickets go on sale. I have truly never understood it and I am not aware of any other school that uses its social media platform in such a manner.
