I haven't seen or heard much of a push for this game.
It’s honestly been the quietest build up/week for a home game all year. It’s mind boggling.Quote:

At least tease us with the Cajun Field renovations reveal. It was my understanding tonight is the night they show things off on National TV. Is that still the case? If so, let the fans know.Quote:

The context clues were leading to stadium reveal but I have since learned different. They may talk about it tonight on the broadcast but I wouldn’t count on seeing the rendering in an official manner till next week. It’s kind of mind boggling how much they have fumbled this thing.Quote:

The optics of doing that on national tv with a mostly empty stadium in the backdrop.... OofQuote:

Same. Which is crazy. If you had told me 10-15 years ago we’d have a nationally televised conference home game against Southern Miss, less than 10K were expected, and I would barely want to go…man. I’d have thought you were nuts.Quote:

IDK, that seems like a lot of hard work.Quote:

Where was the push to Acadiana fully well knowing that this was a midweek game and attendance would be less than a Saturday? Once again, we blindside ourselves.
Last 10 times vs southern miss, southern miss has won, and 7 games were in Hattiesburg.
3 trips there for every one trip for them before they joined conf. ???
That goes along perfect with the fact that most students don’t even know we have a game tonight. Who’s in charge of promoting this kind of stuff?Quote:

What is going on? Seriously, what is going on? Is our admin jaded towards the community? It feels like they're upset with the community for not supporting the teams, therefore have given up on outreach besides social media. It's almost like the stadium renovation is begrudgingly happening now.
What. Is. Going. On?
