My thoughts on how to start improving the atmosphere.
Scheduling - I know someone said on here they don't go to watch the other team, me either. But everyone wants to be a part of a big game and FCS and the EMU's ain't cutting it. Can't do anything about conference games, but having USM and Marshall coming to Cajun Field will help. We know that Ga Southern or whoever might be a big game for us that week, but doesn't move the needle for the casual fan. Can't beat a P5 if you don't play them. It's how you generate excitement!
Then, I would get Dr Savoie, Dr Maggard, SGA president, 1 head of every greek organization, Coach Des and whoever is captain of team (if we have that or Des can chose leader) and the 337DJ guy in a room and brainstorm on what can they do help each other create a better atmosphere. Whether it's something like the Va Tech entrance or Wisconsin 4th quarter jump or whatever it takes to make the students feel like they have ownership of game day atmosphere! And us old people can join in and help! It's where traditions start!!!
And yes, the administration needs to do a better job of game day management. It's the students responsibility for atmosphere!
Geaux Cajuns!!
