Is UL Attendance Really That Bad!

[Esqueleto]

Location (in both proximity and collateral things to do), schedule time of bowl, Home game attendance, did we win all the games that season we were supposed to win, did we win a couple games we were not supposed to win, bowl opponent,

That's all true, but if there were less bowl games, all that wouldn't matter to most fans.

He didn't blame the attendance last week on a random bowl game. He was stating that the sheer number of bowl games and success required to be invited to so many more bowl games waters them down. The cajun fans traveled well the first couple of years to the NOLA bowl because we hadn't been to a bowl period since 1970. There was the novelty of it and feeling of success.

In regards to the Indy bowl, they are no longer going to get programs like Michigan State playing LSU with the more bowl games out there. As a matter of fact, I believe both the SEC and Big 10 dropped their tie in to the Indy Bowl recently.

I didn’t say he said the number of bowl games affected attendance last weekend. I posited the question because I believe number of bowl games had about as much effect on STurdays game attendance as it does on other bowl attendance. I think it is more other factors.

People did not go to the cure bowl last year because of many other factors - we got thrashed by Bama and M state, we lost to CC, low attendance and interest to regular season games after that, lost in conference title game, too far away, etc., etc., etc.

The novelty lasted for 4 years, that’s pretty good. I’m not for waiting another 40 years just to creAte a novelty. Right now we don’t travel well because of all the sins (arrests, video, sanctions, poor seasons, lost to CC, lost Sunbelt Championship, location, lack of interest during the season, etc.) post NO Bowls.

We need to not sin and win and we will have fans at Cajun Field and at the Bowl games. I believe too many bowls is another BS excuse.

Indy lost its luster because it got replaced by better bowls at better locations. That’s Indy’s fault and for that they get a lessor drawing team.

Yes, but most on here are acting like all of a sudden, all the bowls other than the playoffs are no longer a big flippin deal. As to those, nothing has changed over the past 20 or 30 years.

I like the change to all the bowl games. As it currently is, I can enjoy football almost everyday from Dec 15 to the National Championship game.

All I’m saying is when your postseason has even less meaning than a regular season game you’ve got a huge problem.

And when has that happened for the Cajuns?

"less meaning" has no meaning.

In the history of bowls, any team with 2 losses was in a "less meaning" bowl.

Bowls are a football vacation, nit a meaning. That is unless you are undefeated or close to it.

Need some facts to back up your supposition. Exactly what makes you believe that our bowl game last year had in any way less meaning than any single regular season game and in what respects?

I was in Orlando and to me it was the most meaningful game of the year. Only those who didn’t make an effort to attend would think it was not meaningful.

I was also there and would strongly disagree. All of the conference games, especially the championship game had more meaning to me. The game meant SO much that only about 2k people bothered to show up.

[CajunVic]

I have still not heard one iota of evidence or one person say, explain or give one fact why they would believe that for this university and its players that the 2018 bowl game in Orlando had any less meaning than any of the regular season games. I don’t think anyone can!!!!!!!!
