Final: Louisiana 75, USM 61

Like I said reported attendance vs actual attendance makes no difference in any of those things it’s just a number. You always want people to show up and use the tickets that are sold. Big crowds are definitely a good thing. But going back to the original conversation if you sell 30k tickets and 25k show up and you report the crowd as 30k, in the grand scheme of things it really doesn’t change much. Everyone reports crowds that way.

Recruiting . . .

Ok. I’ll give you one chance to prove me wrong. Lets say the Cajuns sold 25k tickets to a football game. 20k of those people showed up. The next day attendance is reported at 25k. Explain how reporting tickets sold vs butts in the seats hurts recruiting?

I say 1. That recruit that was at the game probably never reads the report where it gives the attendance figure because that’s not what kids read. 2. That kid wouldn’t have a clue that the numbers were being fudged if he did read the attendance figures being reported.

Actual attendance is what we need to sell food and gear to make money.

Both of you are so lost there is no reason to respond . . .

Yes. But that wasn’t the discussion. But at least we know Vic can’t back up his own claims and he has now proven that.

Dude, you asked for one and I gave you about 8. Ball is in your court . . .

[Big Poppa]

Scheduling . . .

Ok. Let’s say you are scheduling Nichols, north western state or south eastern the university agrees to pay them a guarantee that was agreed upon when the contract was signed. They don’t care if your if you sold 15k but reported 20k because that’s how many tickets were sold.

Your other non conference games with like opponents are typically home and home agreements where money doesn’t exchange hands. So same for them.

I’ve already touched on the bowl invite. It’s such an asinine statement that you can’t defend you keep avoiding trying to do so. You sure do look silly.

[Big Poppa]

CajunVic cannot show where announcing ticket sales as attendance vs actual butts as attendance has an affect on any of these things. I love having these discussions with you. Dang you’re so easy.

All you can do to defend you stance and prove you point is say ramble ramble? The man knows when he has been beat and has admitted defeat.

[CajunVic]

if I had a worthy opponent or subject to defend any further, I would . . . you asked me to name one intangible, I named about 8 . . . they are intangibles which you can’t refute . . . Game, set match . . . it’s over, the clock has run out . . . no more innings . . . time to go home . . . the custodian is about to sweep you out of the building . . .
