I might of came off harsh, but a uniform will maybe move the needle a little bit, but not enough, they really need to make changes to really get people to show up.Quote:

I promise you guys that no matter what they do or don't do Cajun Field will not be packed.
A superb marketing effort won't increase support significantly. There are simply not enough people left who care about the Cajuns at this stage. Most would prefer to watch the major games on TV. That in no way means I am suggesting we don't attempt to create an outstanding marketing effort. Perhaps a few more show up and if the team holds up their end of the bargain, we can build on that going forward. I am just pointing out the challenge of today's world.Quote:

Don't kid yourself, the majority of those attending packed P5 games just want to be seen and are going because everyone else is going.
They couldn't tell you much about how the game is played.
Vary multiple points of interest and you start to see more than 18G at games.
. . . if you took a poll of fans that regularly attend Louisiana games you would be surprised at how many generally refer to us as ULL with absolutely no ill will and with complete naivety as to its significance . . .
First Horizon is a sponsor and doesn't know it's not ULL.Quote:

Cajun Field: SOLDOUT

Obviously their decision has zero to do with actual football and everything to do with one of their former analysts now being a head coach. Currently a losing one at that.
I’m totally focused on the game, is that gonna make any difference?Quote:
