Ticket sales?

Well, my problem this year is that I have to work on Friday and I cannot drive down from DFW in time to make it worthwhile. The early morning start time is tough on out of towners who cannot get off on Friday.

I wish I could be there, but i just do not see it happening.

Ha, I hit submit two seconds too late, now it just looks dumb

And that is a legitimate excuse and I'm sure there are plenty of legitimate reasons... There are a ton vagina reasons

10am kickoff would chase a part of any fan base away. Like it or not, it's the truth.

Fire Farmer for accepting a 10am bowl game, someone needs to answer for this!

I think this is a mega million fan base study. Find the most consistent situation and change all the tangibles.

NOLA Bowl Win #1 finished after midnight.

Plus side, UL should get decent viewership on the east coast with an 11am start tine.

Nevada isn't going to have many TV viewers. I don't think sports bars serve breakfast.

where we stayed in the past, one was $89 before, $189 this year, another was $89 before and $150 range this year.
I really didn't mean to start arguments on the quality of our fan base. Just wanted to point out what was reported in recent articles. But to belittle fans for having reasons not to attend is both petty and childish. Most people have budgets that they have to adhere to and higher hotel rooms is surely an issue for some fans.

Gamblers watch TV.

Yep, the lame part... If they are gonna be a vagina about it, own it...cut the crappy excuses.

If working until 2am on Saturday morning, not being able to find a babysitter and choosing not to drive to NO at that hour makes me lame, then call me King Lame. Keep pounding your chest that you'll be there at 10am with bells on. Truth is some of us CAN'T.

If you feel the shoe fits, so be it. I wasn't talking to you, but I have talked to about 40 people who aren't working until 2am, who aren't on a budget... They are lame. They have had radio segments talking about being tired of New Orleans, there were people complaining about the opponent before it was even announced, if you think all of a sudden 20k people have legitimate excuses, you are kidding yourself. For every person like you that can't make it because of the start time there is someone who can make it because of the early start time. It goes both ways...I get the overall sense that people have the idea that we deserve something better, a 12-1 Marshall should make people realize we don't. I just didn't think the fanbase would get tired of something so fun in only 3 years.

No kidding. These guys on the West Coast are looking at an 8:00 am start time.
