Season Attendance predictions

[DestinCajun]

Until we see differently it sure fits with last season.

However, I bet that corrective sentiment and commentary is being heard all over the country including coaches of some nationally ranked defenses, except many of those practices tend to be closed. _

There's must be a formula and a bunch of stock phrases that go with stuff like fall camps and spring drills. I can't tell you when you're supposed to say what but if you follow more than one program through the newspapers, you'll eventually see all of them.

I especially like "We're ready to hit somebody other than ourselves" because it usually means it's about time for the first game.

Something about "tired legs" is another typical one seen in about week 3 of camp.

Once the season starts you will hear one of my favorite quotes: "We played pretty well. We just made a couple of metal errors out there. We will get that cleaned up for next week."
Yea right. You got blown out by 28 points not because the other team was better, it was because you made a few metal errors!

The reported attendance will directly correlate with the number of victories.

Whatever that number turns out to be, I predict that we will average about 26,000 fans at Cajun Field.

Now, how many of them actually go into the stadium, who knows?

All is good. The first game is in 18 days, right?

Closing UL Practices would be nearly impossible unless they go in the IPF and lock the doors. And my thinking is that practice should be closed in most cases. Airing your dirty laundry, bad offence or defence practice should stay in house. Let your foe find out what you have on the field of play. Some may say that if the players read the media reports on how bad the practice was, it may cause them to rethink their proformance. It could also cause them to go in a shell and feel that they are doing thier best. So coach shut up and let the media think what they want..........

VOB mentioned that the fence around the practice faCILITY WOULD HAVE A WIND BARRIER A-LA TENNIS COURTS AROUND IT!! THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND LOOK A HELL OF A LOT BETTER!!!!

[El Sidonio]

If the optimism I hear from the team/coaches/media/etc... is well-founded, then I expect a 20k average, with the possibility of one or two over that figure.

God Bless

Here's my take.........

Everyone is excited at the beginning of the season.

We get an excellent crowd for the first home game. (24 to 26K)

We lose that game & the next game or two against top 10 teams on the road. People say "same old, same old" and lose interest.

We get into conference games and start doing pretty well but no one notices because we went into conference with a losing record.

When the public starts to think that the team is looking pretty good, it's too late & the season's over. Crowd is down.



We need to win the first two or three games to get the fans wipped up. That never happens & we never realize the potential of the support of this vibrant community. And the money continues to go to Baton Rouge.........

LOL!!! Try catching an incoming giant, planet killing asteroid barehanded.

All kidding aside, looks like folks are really getting fired up 2008 Cajuns football. That crowd and all the goings on at Fan Day were "awesome"!

It's all good.

17 days.
