Alabama Series Fan Advisory

[basinbear]

I would guess general fund

Just excuse the hell out of me. I just happen to think that it is more important to cater to people who are on campus for UL athletics than it is to cater to the Lafayette Mardi Gras Association, or the Mid Winter Fair association, or the Lafayette Parish Automobile dealers association.

I guarantee you will not see any events like that on campus at ANY University that we want to be associated with on the same weekend that there is a University sporting event scheduled for the same venue.

It has nothing to do with whining. It has to do with getting your priorities straight.

Tell me another school that we want to be associated with that celebrates Mardi Gras in the same fashion that Lafayette does?

----There was a time when we had gotten together to have a fun fest of some kind and even had a B B Que deal to raise money for athletics---Too bad that the Athletic Dept doesn't have the entire Mardi Gras deal!!! I remember talking to HUD and brought up the $10 parking and he saw the value of the same type of revenue for UL games --Can you say RCAF????? Now you need I think $250 to park!!!

Wait, I have an idea... why don't we have a bingo or maybe a cake sale to raise money.

My point was that inconveniencing your fans has a huge negative impact on your long term future bottom line. Plus, I would be willing to bet that exactly zero of the funds derived from Mardi Gras, or the Fair, or the car show goes to athletics.

Mardi Gras cost us a home NIT game one year, and caused the cancellation of the Basketball tournament we used to have every December.

UMMMMMMMM!! I like Cake! You bake, I buy!

Mobile does a good job of parading and partying, but probably none go by the university or athletic complex like in Lafayette.

A) I hope we leave South AL behind
B) South AL's campus is not in the middle of Mobile like UL is in Lafayette. It's almost 20 miles from the Parade Route. If there was a university on Government Blvd in downtown Mobile, they would have the same problems we do.

That isn't the point. Name another school that we want to be associated with that allows ANY outside organization to use its facilities in conflict with its own teams.

The only thing that is changing is the parking arrangement. We are still playing the games. People have ample opportunity to make adjustments to get there early. Go look at the parking around Alex Box. You pay or you walk a mile. I'm all for getting ____ed when the admin/athletic dept gets in their own way, but to complain about everything that they do is getting exhausting. We are making progress. Until the money and success comes for a significant amount of time, we will have to make sacrifices. Instead of _____ing, be excited that we will be flirting with the top 10 after handling the kitties in BR and dominating bama in our house! When UL athletics brings more money to Lafayette than Mardi Gras does, we will have every right in the world to tell them where to go.
