Coach Napier's EXit

[Cajunsmike]

I am assuming tickets for the championship game will be expensive. So there won’t be companies handing out hundreds of tickets, and McDonald’s promos. Will 40k people rally shell out 30-40 bucks to watch UL? I HOPE so. But I have my doubts.

Hopefully students will be let in for free. If not…

Good point there. We need to be allowed to have those promos for the championship game. Effort to contact companies with season tickets should be contacted now as to their interest in buying the same no. for the championship game.

The only reason O lost his job is because he's gone for two years around .500 and had some off field issues.

Yep . . . when he won . . . they gave him $8mm

Exactly. People who think we will sell out a championship game are delusional. I went to both games at App, and even they didn't come close to having a full stadium for those games. We'd be lucky to get 20k without season tickets and promos. Very lucky

Yep 14 and 18k

The good thing is that students will still be on campus. We just have to hope they get in free and show the F up cause you know Lafayette won’t!

It’s one thing to demand. It’s another to torpedo a guy before he even mounts his horse. The unfaithful at LSU will be spitting poison darts at the next guy simply because they have a Nick saban fixation & that guy won’t be him. The only reason O lost his job is because he wasn’t saban. You’ll figure out what I’m talking about 5 coaches &
A dozen years from now.

Aka Texas

Hahaha. Hwat? Dude, quit dreaming. MDM is on the $ with 25k, and that will be plenty. Create a demand and people will fill it. Local sidewalk fan can't find a ticket? Great! Makes having season tickets more important.

What? Guess you better sell your 25K to Maggard and Co. They are the ones saying ~35K.

Way, way too many, IMO. The future will see less and less people at games. Look for places like LSU and the likes to downsize significantly in the next 20 years.

I am not as worried about this as some. Reason is all our mid week games. 2 of the 3 have occurred 5 days after a Saturday home game making it difficult to promote. Our 2 Saturday games would have both been sellouts at Tulane. Would be interesting to see what the support would be with only 1 midweek home game. Now if we get to host the championship game with good weather and it is not well attended, he will be disappointed.

I agree Mike, just saying it has to be disappointing. When you throw in the Covid season and how that may keep some folks away even today, it kind of all adds up. I like your comment on our 2 Saturday games being a sellout at Tulane. They've had much better home game opponents than we get and still struggle for attendance.

Question: If O was undefeated, would the off field issues cause him to lose his job?

No

Didn't cause Myles to lose his job until he stopped winning.

I rest my case.

[Jeaux]

Yep 14 and 18k

I do believe that the app students got in for free. The SBC is usually good about that. I remember the students always got free tickets for the basketball tournament in NO but we never really promoted it and only a few students cashed in on the offer. We've had great student support this year if you don't count the last game. But the Georgia state game was an anomaly.

5 days after a huge party weekend and very cold by south La standards. I popped into Daqs after the game and that place was empty. Usually there's a few hundred students there for college night but staff outnumbered the customers so you know the whole city was in lock down. Lol
