If it's not closed off to the public, they can't charge a premium for it and sell it to the handful of donors stupid enough to pay for itQuote:

There are many reasons for the poor attendance. I think we have reached a point with the program where the reset button needs to be pressed. This would mean rebuilding Blackham into something better than before.
We need a 4-5k seat, intimidating, pit of a basketball arena. We need control over concessions. Let's re-ignite some of the best college basketball fans in America.
It's time.
What would it realistically cost to have a UL bus make one or two laps at the following locations:
1. Rex Street -- students in dorms, students in on-campus apartments, faculty, The Heritage (Lewis St), The Genesis (UPA), Cottage Landing, and The Quarters
2. somewhere behind Rouses on Bertrand -- University House, TS Condos, Axis, and Bayou Shadows
3. South College - Campion (pinhook), Eagle Run, Greenwood, South College Gardens
These buses hold, what? 40? 50 people? Couple trips each stop... swoop up 500-600 people to fill the student section and rowdy this place up a little bit?
You've got roughly 3000 students on campus.. Who knows how many more than that in these off-campus apartment complexes, along with non-students who might enjoy a free ride to a $10 basketball game....
I like it, at the very least (if done right) it's a rolling billboard for the game.Quote:

Fire "Milquetoast" Marlin. If you want to know when he'll finally be gone, just ask him when he wants to retire. Til then, enjoy what you have, cause it's been the same throughout his entire tenure....milquetoast.
Most of us just don’t care anymore. I don’t wish for them to lose but I no longer care if they have success. I haven’t watched in over 2 years, in person or tv, and I have no desire to go back. I found other things to fill my time, and they are cheaper and more enjoyable.
Honestly I don’t see myself ever going back. Maybe one day I’ll get a wild hair but most of the time I didn’t realize they played until I get on pagin.
