I was surprised Coach Des didn’t get on the microphone and thank the fans for coming to the spring game, encourage them to buy season tickets and donate to the quarterback club. Fan engagement is necessary for a successful program!
You’re surprised he didn’t do it? I’d be surprised if he did. I like Des but that’s just not who he is. Even at QB club meetings, he goes in, does his preview for the next week and answers a few questions then he leaves. He is a football coach. He is not a promoter. I do wish that he’d take some of that pregame locker room energy we see in the videos and use it to engage and excite the fans directly. I think he’s learned a lot in his 3 years about actual coaching and game management. He could learn a little more about fan engagement. Once again I like him and not knocking him for it but that’s just not who he is.Quote:

That’s what I’m saying but they can’t help that, it’s an algorithm on facebooks end. They can only the control content not who consumes it.Quote:

Does anyone know a Jeweler? If we want to get those "Mom's" a little more "engaged" give away a nice piece of jewelry with a Cajuns theme (only for the women). We'll need a Jeweler that supports the Cajuns though. Anybody know one??Quote:

After reading the comments about folks not being aware of the Spring Game, I gotta call BS. Around Easter, a true fan would say, "Hmmm, when is the Spring Game? Seems like it's around this time." Then the fan would do an internet search, provided that he knows how to operate a computer or smart phone. The search engine would probably direct him to the Ragin Cajun Football webpage or social media posts with the information. It's a true head scratcher to find that there are people who call themselves fans, but didn't know about this game. Y'all need to look in the mirror before dragging Athletics through the mud because y'all couldn't figure this out yourselves.... Take some personal accountability.
For the folks who mentioned the need for a viral moment, you might get your wish. Walker Howard's sister is TikTok famous. She made a post after the Spring Game that has over 777k views. Look her up as @macloversss.
I agree but all you have to do is look at the first post of this thread to realize not everyone knew.Quote:

I think that's the problem. This admin has been relying on "true" fans for far too long. There are about 14k of us. We need new fans, and we can't rely on new fans to have some kind of tingling intuition to know UL athletics has something going on.Quote:
