Pretty sad for UL. Conference leader and (near) worse attendance.
Saturday is our last home game, Senior's Day, and playing for Western Division lead and conference championship host. We need a full stadium!
Saturday Nov 16
ULM @ Auburn - 88,043
Coastal @ Marshall - 24,175
JMU @ ODU - 21,984
Troy @ GS - 21,762
USM @ Texas State - 22,618
USA @ Louisiana - 16,063
stAte @ GSU - 14,047
Yet, basically no promotion from the university that I have heard or seen. The average/casual fan more than likely has no clue about this game.
Or the season at large.Quote:

Some say "worry about that in the offseason." Problem with that is that nothing is done in the offseason. Worry about season tickets and improvements to overall game day experiences in the offseason.
Easy changes to game-to-game operation and marketing what your team is doing NOW is a must IN SEASON! Do it as soon as you have an opportunity. Put it in people's faces. But they don't do that. At least the marketing piece.
We may have a modest bump in overall attendance vs last year and the year before, but being in the bottom 1/4th of the league is embarrassing. Especially with a team that will win no less than 8 games. We used to be tops in the league not much more than a decade ago winning 8 regular season games.
That is totally the point.Quote:

There is a HUGE unaware population out there. Generations of potentional fans.
Go get em.
Are we just assuming they are unaware?Quote:

However it is evidence that the fan base, has dwindled because not producing a championship banner would never happen with a healthy fan base.
Banners are coming next season.Quote:
