4500 is a solid goal.

Concession pricing will probably keep some people from buying season tickets. It’s ridiculous how expensive they are. They should cut prices by a third or more.

He may have been gassed. He was banging with the bigs inside and his frame is still in high school mode. Guy was not afraid to work inside though. Another year in the weight room and at the training table will do him good.

Completely reset the program. That would mean not retaining any of the current staff.

We’ve seen that before and it brought us Robert Lee.

Robert Lee, the only MBB coach with an overall losing record at UL in over half a century.

When it comes to attendance, UL needs to draw at the top of the league. UL fans need to ignore the percentage of capacity figure since many of the SBC arenas could fit in the dome.

And I get the wall to wall music, fans can be heard complaining if not for music during breaks. But that needs to stop.

Much more to work on besides the product.

We had only non D1 this year. Even some major conference schools play one of these. Hopefully we stay at one going forward.

I thought I counted two exhibition games in the middle of the season.

I could be wrong, am I?

One exhibition against LA Christian. Played UT Dallas which was a regular season game for us and an exhibition game for them.

I have been told the concession issue is due to our contract with the Dome and there is little we can do about it. All contracts have an end date. I hope we can renegotiate at some point. Someone with more knowledge than I may be able to better comment on that situation. Yes, the food and drink prices are extremely high and probably does impact our season tickets as well as game day crowd.

You are wrong. We had an exhibition vs a non D1 before the season started back in October. As far as regular season goes, the UT Dallas game was our only non D1 game on the schedule this year.

Why do you think UT Dallas treated UL like they were exhibition quality, and UL treated them like they were regular season quality?

That is common for many games of this type. I think logic is if you lose to a non D1 you should definitely have it be a negative on your record.
