Final: Louisiana 75, USM 61

[CajunVic]

As far as recruits go you just repeated me. Nice job. You know no recruit has never not come because we reported tickets sales and not buts in the seats. Which is what we were discussing.

Give me an example of a team that refused to come here or one that we refused to go to because of the crowd size? Until you got hard evidence. Big Poppa check mate.

On the bowl games not true. Cajuns and JMU have the same record the bowl is in New Orleans or mobile. JMU out draws Cajuns in the regular season. Cajuns are getting that bowl due to geography and history. Same scenario Cajuns and coastal. Cajuns have the better crowds during the regular season but the bowl is in Myrtle beach they give it Coastal. Lots of those decisions are made on geography and the fans ability to get there. Game set match. BP.

You continue to prove you know nothing about how any of this works. I think I’d rather the throw down you keep begging for than the beer.

A1 Sauce and Heinz 57 both go on steak.

One is made from apples and one is made from oranges.

Better yet when you see me post just ignore it don’t reply. I must be living rent free in you head because you feel the need to inject yourself in everyone of my conversations and throw out insults.

Recruiting . . . the bigger the number our recruiters have to show to recruits the more impressive the atmosphere at games and thus bigger is better than smaller . . . Vic +1

Scheduling . . . goes both ways . . . opponents will want to come into a better atmosphere and people scheduling us at there place will want us to bring more rather than less fans . . . home attendance one way to evaluate what the other team can expect will travel . . . Vic +2

Bowls . . . Any bowl considering teams with a like record will take the one with greater attendance because they want all the attendance they can get at their bowl game . . .

Vic +3 . . . Pappo 0

Vic I got a few serious questions for you.

In 2023 the Cajuns are traveling to Minnesota in football do you honestly think Minnesota payed attention to our home attendance to see what kind of crowd we might bring when making that deal with Dr Maggard?

Last year we played at Fla St. Same question? They probably hope we return tickets so they can sell them to their own fans.

Both Fla St and Minnesota want a recognizable opponent, from a G5 conference that they can sell to their fans, to fill their stadium with their own fans. That we have become. They don’t really care what we draw IMO.

A few years back we scheduled a home and home with the University of Ohio out of the MAC. Do you think either the Cajuns or the Bobcats AD were overly concerned with the other schools home crowds are in hoping they’d have a good contingent travel from La to OH and vice versa? I have been gone to Cajun games for many years that kind of travel just doesn’t happen. Both of those schools are just hoping their own fans show up.

Jumping in.

For certain schools your draw will matter and for certain schools it won't.

The expectations run the gamut and whoever want to make a point in either direction will have no problem finding a school that fits their argument

I see Dr Mag on a pretty regular basis I’ll have to ask him. How much schools look at our attendance when negotiating home and home G5 OOC games with him and the money P5 games as well. I’ll also ask how much he pays attention to their draw as well. I would guess very little.

Now when you talking about that one game a year against an in state FCS that could be a different story. My question then would be if the opposing teams home crowd is huge factor in scheduling shouldn’t we try to ditch Nichols, NWST, SLU, and schedule SU as much as possible? We haven’t played them in years and they bring the most by far.

In this instance, it doesn’t matter what Dr. Maggard says or doesn't say, there are schools out there that would be hard pressed to care less, and others who would appreciate more ticket sales.

[CajunVic]

I said it benefits in intangible ways . . . I never said that every game would move the needle in each intangible . . . take each intangible I identified and ask the question would it be better one Iota for our attendance number to be greater rather than lessor . . . and now you have the reason that virtually every school spends more money and jumps through more hoops to have the larger attendance figure rather then the smaller one . . . KK I know you understand that . . .

You are spot on. I wouldn’t expect an answer. Well at least not a real one that addresses the questions specifically.

Never mind, I am really not interested in spending an entire beer’s time with you . . . sorry, but a USL degree should represent much better . . . Turbine, on the other hand should be awarded an honorary Louisiana degree for the way he represents . . .

Yes I do. But I have had a beer or 2 with Scott Farmer back in the day and I know how hard it is to make a schedule. There are very few opportunities out there that will move the needle for us as a visiting team non conference, from an attendance stand point. Back then Tech would barely talk to us if at all. Other than Southern and McNeesse the other in state schools would bring no one. Talk to a guy like Maggard or Farmer and see how much they struggle to make a non conference schedule period, more less be selective. They are very desperate at times just to fill it. If they can get someone with fan fair that will bring some folks that is lagniappe. Thats why we need to build our home base and quit running people like Krazy jr and his fellow students out of the stadium every week. Our school isn’t doing itself any favors.
