Are people using the chat function during the games ?

At least during (recent) football games.

It can be fun though and there's some interesting off topic side conversations that go on also.

Should be positive with a rebound 2015 season. I'm annoyed already with the ultra low fan expectations (make a bowl) when Solich has been bowl eligible 8 of 10 seasons. For a first year coach in Athens it would be acceptable but its not much of a goal for the Solich regime.

Alan's right apparently...trophy for everyone! C'mon Monroe. Ten years ago the assets were next to nothing and the return on investment was pitiful. Now after ten solid years of asset building and well above average return on investment you are the Trustee at the meeting griping about one year of flat returns. If you look total assets are still growing. Trust and patience will be rewarded. There will always be highs and lows. We shall see that the lows will be higher and the highs will be as well.

As a measure of success, I'm not a big fan of "bowl eligible" when over half of the teams in D1 get into a bowl. All you have to do is win 6 games and when you play in the weakest division of the second weakest conference in American and play a game against a 1AA school, you ought to be able to do that. OU has consistently done that but the ultimate goal in the MAC is to win the MAC and we haven't done that since 1968. Is the program a failure? Absolutely not? Is the program winning more than we did in 1979 when I came here? Absolutely. But to put the final stamp on the success of this program, a MAC championship is required.

They want to televise 48 or 50 bowl games. Like a lot of fans, I'd like to see "Bowl Eligible" be at 7 wins against D1 teams to mean something. Agree with you on the MAC Championship. For me, that would mean more than winning another Potato Bowl Trophy. Not that I'm upset about that kind of trophy, it just doesn't carry as much weight as a conference title would this year for me as a fan. Side note: We're partly fine with what bowl eligible is, but a bunch of us hate the idea of an expanded NCAA Tournament field.

It's a really good point. An extremely good point. I know that no one here is concerned about winning a MACC and the program's focus is clearly assets and return on investments (whatever the stupid hell those terms mean in this context).
