…….When was this decided? Has this been verified?

80% chance of rain

But is it really their job to promote the team if the University and the Coach are not out there hyping the game. It's a sad, sad time to be a Cajun football fan especially when its season ticket renewal time.

We haven’t had a promoter since Hud. Napier wasn’t as rah-rah as Hud, and Des is less rah-rah than Napier. Not faulting these two coaches, it’s just not in their personality wheel house.

At the same time, the objective was to hire a football coach, not a cheerleader.

I can understand that but if not the Coach then whom is supposed to hype up HIS team. Hud made me want to buy tickets and he started this build up of the program. Yes it ran it course but he started it all.

In years past there were single and sometimes double updates "daily" from the Athletic department.

This year I've only seen a couple (early on) unless I'm searching in the wrong place.

Spring game will be moved inside and no public access.

I was told they would allow fans indoors who want to watch.

I recall reading that as well via a UL football post...

The fact that you have to search for content is the problem. They should be engaging fans, but they are not interested in publicizing their mediocre product.

I guess the HUD era proved that unless the coach does it, it simply won't get done. The ineptitude and apathy from this University is frkn staggering. Makes me sick.

Des has the personality of stale white bread. Napier was the same but he had the pedigree to overcome that.

Mike is a football guy. Like Billy was a football guy. There is a reason there are multiple layers to an organization of this size. Where are the promotions and marketing people? Where are the content creators? Where are the writers covering the program? Where are the ticket sales teams?

This is why we constantly bring this up. RR should be allowed to cover the team. KATC should be covering Spring Football instead of TSAB WBB. We should have a dedicated beat writer. But none of that matters to the people that are most responsible for promoting our product.

Hudspeth was a unicorn, in that, he was really great at getting people to games and put together some successful seasons. But he burned hot and we crashed after 5 years. I want to win games and be successful on the field. We have a bigger staff than when Hudspeth was here. People need to do their jobs and let Mike coach his football team. I'm not saying he shouldn't do anything, but its not Desormeaux's fault that no one is covering spring football.
