And their crowd is double what we're going to see for ours.

More like 4x

bahahaha bitter much, dude stop because if we would have lost that game you guys would have had a field day. Now that we won it you’re finding every excuse to discredit the victory. Tell me this, when was the last time the cajuns beat a P5 team? When was the last time the cajuns beat a P5 team in a bowl? I’ll wait............

Don't brag too hard. The ACC wasn't very good at all this year outside of Clemson. Pitt struggled to beat a middle of the road MAC team last night. Yall beat a very bad Miami team and didnt look good at all doing it.

I am not at all happy with the attitude that our fans have regarding our bowl game. There is absolutely no reason [but lots of excuses] for Cajun fans not to show up in droves for a bowl game only a 5 hour drive from Lafayette against a Conference Champion.

Tickets are reasonable; hotels are resonable; Mobile is a very nice city with lots of history and plentiful good restaurants and bars, AND the city really appreciates their visitors for the Bowl game and goes the extra mile to provide entertainment opportunities for them.

Cajun fans don't travel. Toss in the fact that the game is on a Monday, and I would be shocked if there are 1k+ UL fans at the game. It's sad, but true.

So our "hardcore" fans are pretty softcore.

We have about 1k truly hardcore fans. They were in Orlando last year. I expect the same kind of crowd and same faces in Mobile. I hope I'm very wrong.

There are quite a few fans who could not go to Orlando for financial reasons. That is not a reason for not going to Mobile for most of those. I expect more of our fans in Mobile than in Orlando, but I doubt it will be double the Orlando crowd. Sad.

I hear ya.

That Orlando trip last year was very cheap. Direct flights out of Lafayette were less than $100. Probably cost more to drive to Mobile.
