Soccer Preview: Louisiana vs. #7 LSU

[Jacob81]

Just wait for the beer line on Saturday

Dude, me and one daughter were in line for 20 solid minutes and still had literally 50 people in front of us. It was 0-0 when we got in line. I called my wife and other daughter to come down so we could leave cuz I was so ____ed at the situation. When they got down and we left it was 3-0 and we were at least 30 minutes from getting to the counter. It’s unacceptable at any sporting event. Saturday will probably be bad but not that bad.

I’m not surprised. Women’s soccer could outdraw MBB.

For all the great progress we’ve done, we consistently lack in game day experience. Specifically concessions and non-game experience.

It did outdraw MBB tonight. As much as it stings, Jacob81 is correct. You can’t invite the city and then have 2 people working concessions. No idea how they’ll count attendance because no scanners or counters at the door.

Atmosphere was great. Hosting wasn’t so great.

However, I don’t think they expected this turnout. Pretty solid.

Well, it really didn't outdraw MBB but we see where you are going.

When’s the last time MBB had 2373 in the dome? Not announces. Actually sitting in the building…. it’s been a while.

It's been a while because of Covid. I had to mention this to you way back during the season when you were ____ting on the MBB program and attendance. You know, how when you said the sport was dead here in the South and I showed you that our attendance is actually pretty much where it was 20 years ago minus any big teams we were actually able to get to come here. We average close to 4,000 per game. Announced? I have no way to confirm or deny if that number is different from the actual attended and really neither do you. How do you guys know there were over 2,000 fans at the soccer game if someone said there were no gate clickers to count? Is this announced also?

Also, you're using a home game against LSU to draw your comparison to a MBB attendance figure. Go get LSU to come play us here in the dome and your attendance is what? 8,000-10,000?

Wait, you really believe there has been 4,000 people actually at a game in the last couple of years?

[Million$Mullet]

Actual attendance has not surpassed 2k in a few years. Last year I believe the highest attended game was 457 people

I have not and never do go out of my way to bash MBB.

It’s a women’s soccer thread.

Have a nice day.

Actually, I’m not the one who said “basketball is dead in the south.” I said as a whole, NCAA basketball (outside of 15ish programs) is dying. And that’s a fact.

I still go to the games. There are not 4K in the stands. Not even close. Before Covid, I guarantee we weren’t getting 3k butts in seats. If you believe that, I question whether you’re in the building. Obvious to anyone that the announced attendance is always juiced.

I don’t “____” on the MBB. A few of you take the truth personally, and I don’t know what to tell you about that. But I won’t sugar coat the facts. We’ve done that WAY too long in this program.

Doesn’t matter if North Carolina came to the soccer field. The match outdrew MBB. Sorry that offends some of you. I wasn’t saying it to demean MBB. I was giving kudos to the turnout. Majority Cajun supporters btw. For a program that has historically been ignored, it was a banner moment, from an attention standpoint. I hope it continues.

I answered your comments.

Podcasts are nice. However, they’ll end up just like other media...people won’t want to be guests on your product if you’re bashing them. Anyone with a keyboard can read RR or RP and see how you “have not and never do go out of your way to bash MBB”.

People in the past have trashed Jay for not being aggressive in hard times. You don’t poop where you make your bread. Pretty simple.

I wish you the best going forward.
