His sole reason for existence is to put butts in the stand. Winning,exciting football is his primary tool. No butts, no teams no coaches etc.

If we start averaging 8k we’ll close shop.

I disagree. Graduate men and winning is the key.

So if we have 40k every game and we never win that would be ok?

No butts no graduation of athletes. That’s why programs have died.

I guess all the minor sports would have shut down along time ago because fan support is minimal and those kids still graduate.

And they say the only stupid question is the one not asked.

I guarantee you a coach will try much harder with 40,000 above his neck than he will with 8,000

Since your question is posturing a non possible situation it’s hardly worth addressing. Suffice to say we’d be run out of the conference without football. I thought we were talking FBS football.

This is far closer to reality than most people would like to admit. College athletics is a business.

In a word, yes.

For Thursday let’s have at least 15000

I would rather have 20K and be undefeated.

Will be lucky to get 20% of that total.

Look, the fact that the east was playing was a factor. But even tech and Monroe broke 14 and 11 k. I was thinking we’d get 12 and I think that’s been my lowest prediction in my time going to Cajuns football.

Take a stab at what the total will be Thursday.

7,888 attendance is a message by the fans. Is the UL Admin listening?

Seriously, we should close the upper deck next season and make it GA overflow.

Put some red tarps up until we start filling the lower bowl.

Time to own the mistakes we've made at Cajun Field and create the most intimate football experience for the players and fans.
