2019 Bowl Talk

[CajunT]

I have ordered tickets through the school before for bowl games and for other games, and get occasional emails about events so yes they have my email address. In comparison a school in which I have only ordered tickets for regular season games before once sends out constant emails trying to encourage new sales while UL rarely sends out emails or anything else to encourage potential fans or casual fans. Silence in marketing kills and UL is very silent in lots of things.

I understand your frustration, but as MelRock has posted you can order tickets now. You might want to look into joining RCAF at a low level because we get the bowl forms emailed to us and priority seating. This is the way it is now, including for regionals for baseball and softball. If you are investing into Cajun athletics, than you receive some of the perks.

Have you experienced a bowl in Mobile? "Incredible" is not how I would describe it.

Every stAte fan I have ever discussed this with loved their experience in Mobile. They universally say that the city and local businesses go all out to entertain visiting fans.

I should add that stAte has been in several bowls in Mobile, and the level of enjoyment has been great for them every time. Now, it IS an outdoor stadium, so weather may be an issue for some, but everything surrounding the bowl is great.

Don't let CajunExpress hear you say that!

😂😂 you probably right

Miami University has struggled with the name issue just like we have. I would hope everyone here would call them by their proper name. Below is from their media guide.

PLEASE NOTE: When referring to Miami, please use either Miami, Miami University or Miami (Ohio). Please do not use Miami of Ohio or University of Miami, etc. The latter are not the proper names for our institution. Thank you.

They have shirts made that say "We were a university before Florida was a state".

Miami University founded in 1809
Florida became a state in 1845
The City of Miami was incorporated in 1896
Coral Gables, where the University of Miami is located, incorporated in 1925
University of Miami founded in 1925

Well this isn't very nice:

All fan boards have some stupid fans.

All fan boards have some stupid fans.

You know you're right. Take the high road, I guess.

You know you're right. Take the high road, I guess.

If we win the game, those fans' insults won't matter. If we don't win the game, those fans' insults are the least of our problems.

[angeleast]

The water boy imagery is standard up north I guess. It's in pure fun and jest. Their board isn't very active so I agree , high road is best.

[billbeck451]

this is still a massive fumble by the athletic and marketing department, basically by not even sending emails to the database of potential ticket purchasers who have purchased through the school before they are saying that they don't really care about those fans. Even a blast email would have sufficed and don't put ignorant people manning phones who cant answer simple questions when asked. All of these things play into the attendance and difficulty boosting fan participation.

I am looking forward to this bowl game. It doesn’t matter who we play. Miami earned it. Just win!
