    It costs very little to promote games, season tickets, and get coaches and athletes out in the city mingling with potential fans. None of this happens. Why?

The Iowa St game had nothing to do with finishing the 2021 season ranked.
    No way we finish 2021 ranked in the Top 15 without starting the year in the preseason Top 25. No way we start 2021 in the preseason Top 25 without finishing 2020 in the Top 15. No way we finish 2020 in the Top 15 without beating Iowa State.


    You said it has nothing to do with the ULM model, and yet you stated, "Another Pay. Growth" That is totally contradictory to your statement that it has nothing to do with the ULM model. Yet that is exactly their mentality when it comes to playing multiple P5 programs to raise revenue. And they begin every season 0-4 or 0-3, putting their team in a hole and killing interest in their program before their first home game.
    Acknowledging the benefit of more money does not equate to prostituting your program. That is what they do. We are not them. We shouldn't even be in the same NCAA Division. You are comparing apples to oranges.

    I'm certain I've been around longer than you when it comes to being a UL Football fan. I've seen exactly what that kind of scheduling does to a program during the Stokely and Bustle Era. I have no interest in returning to that kind of scheduling.
    Again, you're comparing 2 very different programs. The budgets of Stokely and Bustle are ancient history. Scheduling back then was a symptom of the problem, not the cause.

    I think a lot of the lack of fan interest is part of our fault, the fans on here. We _____ and moan about everything, every little thing. Then we wonder why no one wants to join us.
    Yeah, it's OUR fault. Us. The people on RaginPagin. We're to blame for the non support. I mean, clearly that's the reason. If I had a dollar for everytime I tried to get someone to support UL and they said, "I would, but I noticed on RaginPagin that a lot of people critique stuff...I just can't support that."

    We cant even beat them in football, but we should be in a different league?

    FCS schools beat FBS schools all the time. Doesn't mean they should be in the same NCAA Division.

    You are saying we are below ULM, in IMO we need to beat them to be able to say that we are over them.
