Attendence?

[cajunnexile]

_ So many people stayed home for 2 reasons. That purple abomination was manhandled on national tv and everyone would rather watch them then come to home game. Second the weather was iffy, and prolly friday people made the decision to wussy out and not come because water will make them deathly ill when it falls on them, even though no rain fell during the game. This is a joke. You go to the game, you see a better game than people saw on CBS. Good thing is the word will get out about this team. I personally am letting everyone I know who didnt go that they should be bashing their heads into walls for being a ____ing ninny and not coming to the game. Put on your big boy pants and get your ass to the game rain or shine. _

U r the same clown who claimed that UL's 4 td loss to LSU was really a win, but when LSU holds the number team in the country to 13pts and down to wire, u frame as "mandandled." You are clueless.

I am a member of the Krewe Jamais d'la vie (Percy Guidry tailgating krewe). As to the statement of our members wearing purple and gold, that is ridiculous everyone in our Krewe is a diehard cajun fan, now of course friends and family are known to wear those colors and we tell them something about it but we do not discriminate. If you would've looked during the southern, kstate, or nt game you would've also noticed the opposing teams colors throughout our tent because thats the type of fans we are. As to the statement of us staying back to watch the Lspoo game, none of our krewe members stay in the tent at kickoff (if you wear an apron and tag your at the real game). Some of us do go down to the tent at halftime to check on everything and yes there are some people still there but that will happen. Also we donate equipment to the football team every year. Why would we do that with our money if we dont love UL? Finally if you look at our aprons or tags we have the motto on which we all live by "All for the love of the Cajuns."

Thank you all cajuns fans for showing up to the game and if anyone ever wants to stop by and get some food please feel free.

Then youneed to be discriminating. This is a UL event. These folks ned to either get some UL gear and get in the game to support UL or stay home. Its rediculous to see people at a UL game vs Kansas St., UNT (or any other team besides State) wearing State gear.

_ I agree. If students don't want to go than make the section chairbacks and draw the extra revenue on them. _

There can be no extra revenue off those seats if only 8k show up. I know they announced 12, but let us be realistic.

Until there becomes more of a demand, student section should stay

I lived in Austin for 4 years and my wife is a Texas Ex. We went to a lot of UT games and while she wore UT gear, I always wore my UL red and white. I saw a lot of other schools represented at UT games as well and no one was ever hastle or questioned about it. And, we always went to the Texas Ex Alumni House across from the stadium. No one batted an eye.

We want people to come to our games and convert them to Cajun fans. If someone went to another school, so what if they wear their school colors as long as they are at the game. We will never build a following if we chase off anyone who does not bleed red and white. They might decide to come back for another game, then another, then start to feel out of place on their own and wear red and white to our games. In any event, they are a ticket purchaser and should walk away with a great game day experience. Let's convert them, why run them off?

[Ragingayle]

I agree that people shouldn't wear those colors to OUR game unless those colors are represented on the field. I have a couple state alum friends who come to the game, go into the game, and cheer on the cajuns. I dont mind those guys so much because when I've gone to bowl games that don't feature UL I'm wearing my UL polo and UL hat. Now for the people that have no ties to LSU and still love to feature those colors that gets under my skin. When I was on student orientation staff and Upc we actually tried to have a movement to replace student's (which have no reason wearing anything but vermillion and white) other school gear with UL gear. It never started because some thought it could become harsh. I guess the point in all of this is that even though we try to encourage people, especially UL students and alumni, to rep. their alma mater, the band wagon effect of Baton Rouge's JC is like a plague in south LA. The important thing to remember is that at least these people are at the UL game, and catching hell from people like you and me for selling out to the polecats.

The point is they are not at the game. They are tailgating at our stadium and watching their team play on a TV outside our stadium. And its been going on for too long and the long hoped for conversion hasn't occurred. Its time for this behavior to end.

I'd suggest unpluggng the TV and herding everyone into the game (other than the skeleton crew you need to leave behind to watch your gear). Unless they are in the stadium syelling for the Cajuns "they" are not supporting UL. Just gets under my skin.
