Remember where you heard this. What post 149 said is that the reason for that sell out is many UNC fans purchased App season tickets to make sure they get into that game. Like I said lets wait until game day and see how much baby blue is in the stands.Quote:

thats my biggest disagreement with maggard is the philosophy behind not scheduling a 2 for 1
2 for 1Quote:

UL's home stadium is outdated and dreary.
UL's long history in football is considered poor at this point. Recently respected and improved, yes. It has to be maintained and promoted.
Just talking about it, does nothing to improve it. Wishing doesn't work, and shaming those that don't attend won't either.
It's entirely up to the UL Administration to cultivate a winning tradition in an environment that fans want to attend against opponents the fans want to see. I don't see why people keep wondering what is up with our attendance, when it's plain to see.

And this is why UL should adapt the App model(or any other model apart from what we do now)...they get it, UL simply doesn't...
Give specifics.Quote:

Also from the information that I can find they have over $13M in student fees yearly to supplement the athletic budget. I'm not saying nothing can be done, but your post weren't clear to me.Quote:

I'm not trying to be sarcastic here, but just trying to get specifics on the discussion.
Agree. I think I read this earlier it is also harder to create that loyalty on a campus that is mostly commuter students vs those that live there and never leave. App is not a good model for UL because it's like comparing apples to oranges the 2 have very few similarities.Quote:

They are more alike than you think....Quote:

Because if that is the case then little Johnny and Jill aint living at home with mommy like T-boy form all around Acadiana with easy accesses to UL. So which is it I'm starting to get confused here.Quote:
