Ragin Review Podcast: S3:BONUS - Brad Boyd talks Marlin, Transfer Portal, Cajuns Basketball

[Cajunsmike]

I was out of town for a few days and only listened to interview yesterday. I enjoyed Brad telling the stories from the old days and his passion cannot be questioned. I agree that the program needs to do a better job in the promotions area. I understand they were planning some new things in that regard this past season but Covid put a stop to it. Still, much improvement could be made in that area and Brad had some good points on how to to do that. Regarding scheduling, the 2 for 1 idea he suggested is one many including I would support. However, Dr. Maggard does not want to enter into those so he would have to be convinced otherwise. Finally, from what I understand Malik Wilson left mainly due to wanting to play at a program with a high chance to regularly be in the NCAA tournament. He found that in Texas Tech. I am not sure how much of the decision was due to the environment here. A few days after the season ended his Mom was on Twitter expressing good things about the program and looking forward to the next Cajun season. Overall, I enjoyed that podcast as much as any other. Brad may be a good person to have as a guest on a semi regular basis. Suggestion is for him to come back on in October before the season starts. Doing so during a football bye week is suggested. He could preview the Cajuns upcoming season, talk about HS outlook in the area, and discuss how his TBT team did in summer. Granted, it would have to occur before he became too busy with duties of coaching his own HS team.

Revenue doesn’t matter, marlin makes more than the entire softball staff combined.

Over paid if you ask me and many others. Big Fish needs to go.

How much does it cost to run the ac in the dome? Zero cost at the softball field. MBB has more expenses to run game day management. So when it comes to making money they don't.

As owners with a negotiated usufruct of sorts, it doesn't cost UL anything for game day electricity at the Cajun Dome.

It costs more to turn on the scoreboard at the each diamond park than it does for UL Basketball to light up the CD.

Even more of a bad look that the diamond sports are making more money.

That is a valid point.

I just didn't want you to appear like you were grasping at straws.

As often as he grasps for straws, he needs you following him around more often.

PS Don’t forget the lights for evening diamond sports.

It has been well documented that I don't like basketball so I was asking to see who pays for the ac during games. Now that they don't pay for those expenses they really look bad on paper.

Can't forget the lights.

If you got your softball attendance from the NCAA website, I should note that the NCAA only counts the attendance in one of the two games in a doubleheader, whether in a home tournament or a conference doubleheader, but still counts it as two games which skews the per game average somewhat. You point is still valid as it only moves the 2019 paid attendance up to about 1700, but just wanted to bring that up.

No, I got it from an article Stevie P did for 1420 website. Not sure what numbers he used but nonetheless.
