At App for the second straight year...must be all those Marshall fans...

We could cheat, you know . . . Make yellow Red . . . Make App St Louisiana . . . Make Yosef Club RCAF . . .
Maybe it's a statewide tour...
Does anyone have an update on our sales?
Any reason for optimism?
I don’t agree with it but I honestly believe a major push will happen ONCE construction begins. Unfortunately, that may not be for a while.
Bro we will never be App St. Never, ever, ever be them. What they do will not work here because our student body, administration, fan and alumni don’t want it. They aren’t connected to the university the way the boys on the mountain are.Quote:

That really irrelevant. LSU is just an excuse for us to not draw. We aren’t talking 70k…it’s 30k in a metro of 500-650k.Quote:

I edited my post, tell what I stated that is not true?Quote:

Whole other off-season to think and plan after seeing the sad attendance results from last year. Show something. Be transparent about your efforts. Don’t get complacent and ride on the coattails of the success of other sports this year. Football takes work to hook folks outside of your core group.
In a metro of 500-650k that feel more connected to TSAB.Quote:

Same reason there's a lot of Cowboy fans in South LA from the 80s/90s teams that aren't Saints fans.
We have LSU.Quote:

Each program draws well over there. The excuse we use is LSU when the reality is we haven’t developed a fan base. We haven’t provided Acadiana with a reason to support athletics.
The University treats fans like 2nd class citizens and doesn’t foster a sense of inclusion like LSU does. Instead we drive fans away in droves with our messaging.
I don’t blame Maggard, that solely at the feet of the last two Martin Hall administrations.
No way
"All six opponents traveling to Boone made postseason appearances a year ago."
Meanwhile, TWO of our home opponents were in bowls last year and the best game of the two is another Thursday night disaster
Unfortunately one is ho-hum and one is an excitement creator.Quote:

When I saw the thread title, I knew the Cajuns weren't involved.
Like I said . . .
Ima enjoy the product we have right now. I renewed my tickets already. I am hoping for the best and hope we get back to the SBC championship game. Stadium renovation begins and then the sky is the limit with all the momentum hopefully we will get from the new stadium and a good season! Let’s Geaux! Keep fighting the good fight and supporting this UL football team!
Do we have any idea on the actual season tickets sold for UL football as of now?Quote:

My 4 season tickets have been renewed!

You are correct, apples and oranges. I’m not posting any links but spend time and learn about UL’s admissions and all the other parts of student life and then App’s. It could be a rabbit hole in a hurry.Quote:
