This was taken by a friend something very wrong it was never this empty for any .500 Bustle or hudspeth season

An attendance picture from during halftime? Really? Literally, fake news

Look we are losing the fan base, because at one time it was a good, cheap, casual Saturday night. Well we have lost that now it’s a expensive, tedious, and a hassle to go to the game. People are not going to spend outrageous prices to go to a UL game. We will but the average fan won’t.

Once fans are turned off that is it, it will be hard to get them back

In other words, it’s a professional production with proper staffing and infrastructure now. It’s no longer a donkey circus side show.

I’ve said it 100 times, if the ppl that wanted to see the donkey circus aren’t coming, we will be better off in the long run. Replace those ppl with football fans, and we’ll explode.

Fans watched ____ for 3 years and our reward for sticking through the crap was a cash grap.

I assume you meant "cash grab" and to that I say, WRONG.

People _____ed about the quality of the product on the field and DEMANDED better. Well, "better" requires top-knotch people with a vision in charge and that takes MONEY. Since our ag department hasn't yet mastered the money tree thingy and since it's rare that top-knotch people will work for peanuts, we need to put the money up or shut up.

I'm glad we're putting the money up because that's the only way you convince those who write the invites that we're serious.

Start winning consistently and they'll not only be back, they'll be claiming they never left.

Exactly

Preach.

Gotta pay to play. Let the purge continue.

Lucky we only have one more home game or the actual attendance could slip into the negative. Than there would be no need to preach, pay or purge.

We are also look like ULM south with fan support 8 wins won't draw people in like it use to I can promise you that. So what you do beg the same people to dig deeper or lower the entry point for causal fans . Im not paid to be the AD so idk nore do I know the finances but I can tell you we are going to be hit by a few million dollar deficit.

Well, it's one thing to gripe about those who don't show up. I understand the frustration. It's quite another thing to gripe about those who have LISTENED to the fans and have taken the proper steps to build a serious program.

Fans whined about the dinosaur. Fans whined about toothpick. Fans whined when Hud lost the locker room and wasn't running a tight ship.

Well, WTF are you going to whine about now?

Nothing worth building happens overnight, and it's never cheap, but if the committment is there, it will happen and everyone will be wanting to be a part of the success. Of that I'm certain.

I say stop the _____ing and second-guessing unless you've got all the answers though I'm betting those who complain the most have the fewest answers.

Screw the students. They should have to buy season tickets like the rest of us.
