When you make everything about money....

Such a big deal has been made out of this unfortunate premature notice then and again no how can you wonder why no more fricking notices have been given.

Wrong tact on their part. Say something.

At least a backtrack revision still has vision.

Nope.

It's the sauce.

LOL

You have now botched this thread so bad it is starting to emulate the issue. People should start to wonder. Your own fault, not mine.

Last night on the Ragin Review postgame pod episode, I used the Raising Canes analogy. Raising Canes sells chicken fingers, fries, coleslaw, and Texas toast. That's their menu. But what creates demand and a long line stretching out to the main road there are three simple traits:1) Great Quality 2) Affordability 3) Consistency

From what I have heard from fans, the feedback I get is the tickets are too expensive; the lines to concessions are too long; and the games lack enthusiasm and energy. So all three of those traits are missing. Until we get those three things right and market it to the community consistently, we will continue to have crowds of 10-15k.

You forgot to mention atrocious dipping sauce. I'm trying to eat chicken strips not boiled seafood.

That is not a toilet. It is a freedom bowl. It's all the rage with generation Z.

For generation old like me and you it’s a toilet.

I have a question for the board. Why are so many of us smashing our brain cells together trying to figure out how to get more people to the games when there are supposed to be people getting paid to sweat this mess? I haven't heard a single one of them on the stump singing the old fight song & rallying the troops to circle the wagons this season & protect the house. In fact they don't even see the need to put up a SBC championship banner to show off on national television the last couple of times we've been on.

I mean, who thinks had UL hung a big SBC banner off the bell tower it wouldn't have been splashed all over national TV at regular intervals during these games? I don't guess anyone sees the need that putting up a 50 dollar banner could possibly help recruiting in any way? Gees people, this is like urinating up a rope. I just don't think it's ever gonna go that direction.

That's a terrible excuse you've offered up.

That is to better accent the estate.

You have the power to fix 99% of my issues, just do it.

Sometimes it's the little things. Here's an example. For the last few years I could walk into Cajun Field and get a Deano's Pizza for $7. Went to get one this year and Deano's is no longer there. Instead, Papa John's is now selling pizza. I bought one. I took one bite. It was the worst pizza I have ever eaten. It tasted like cardboard. I threw it away. I don't know why Deano's was replaced by Papa John's. If it's because Papa John's paid more than Deano's was paying to sell pizza at games, that's a crying shame.

It's always the little things that makes a big difference.

You keep missing the point…they didn’t have construction documents done or pre engineering when the UD notice went out (noted on this site). That’s THE big mess up, especially to those who understand construction. Starting was at least a year off under ideal conditions.

That’s not something that would happen easily or timely. They grossly jumped the gun and should of never said a word. All the other things, inflation, short term financing, material costs came later but makes great cover after the email was sent out. And RCAF falters for a bit.

All CV’s excuses are legit TODAY, PROVIDING the pre construction engineering is complete and the final plans are done. Otherwise, it’s carbon monoxide suitable for colon consumption.

Never thought I’d say this but…I know it behooves the admin, but a sit down straight talk with the RR guys goes along way. Softball questions from media partners won’t fix the faith/trust, it’s just friendly cover.

Can’t explain it any clearer than that.

I’m still a Maggard fan, but how quickly and proficiently he fixes this may be what separates him from TDP as our best AD ever.

He’s still popular, but I watched him the other night at the BB games shake hands with multiple people. Take the RCAF leaders out the mix, median age was a solid 50. That’s also an urgent hurdle. In the religion business, it’s called a dying church. Not enough young donors to sustain.

What does softball questions have to do with any of this?
