However, I would appreciate this coach selling his team as if he buys them himself & him be willing to take accountability if these guys underperform. And schedule someone decent for the love of Molly would you please?
    Schedule calls for a MAC team to come here. We will likely have to buy 3 D1 games to meet conference requirement. Don’t know who those will be. This past season support in Dome was better than expected mostly due to team themselves drumming up support from student body. I did give reasons to be optimistic in previous post. Here is cause for concern. Kobe Julien could be main guy and who knows if he will stay healthy. Also, I don’t expect any key guys to leave but in the portal and transfer era you never know. That goes to my point I don’t automatically assume success nor failure. That is why I suggest you as well don’t automatically assume we can’t have a successful year

    I watched a few of Nw State's games this year, they were a good team.
    They beat southern miss.

    Also, everyone I spoke to who attended a game this season enjoyed it. Many people did say the reason they did not go to more has nothing to do with staff. It was mostly about cost due to excessive ticket master fees and Dome concessions cost. That situation is definitely impacting support and I hope those contracts can be renegotiated soon

    Buy season tickets, no Ticket Master fees. Have a couple of drinks at home, or your favorite tavern beforehand.

    And apparently MH reads RP. Music level got turned down and somewhat less vulgar.

    Winning does make things more enjoyable.

    Also, there were many people who used to attend who simply watched on ESPN plus. Some never missed a game. I bet our ratings on that venue were up significantly this year. People I talked to around town were very familiar with our team despite not making every game. All agreed the guys were a true "team".

    I know we complain about the beer prices at the dome but at amway they were $11 for a 24oz beer compared to $12 for a 36oz at the dome. Now the concessions themselves at amway were phenomenal with great variety and decently priced.

    $10 for a 16 ounce beer at LSU softball games.

    Attendance numbers were up this season due to the Fabulous Cajun Chicken appearance. Marlin and Dr. Maggard owe that man a pay check.

    Serious question. If HUD, after he lost the fans, went 7-5 and lost a bowl game with in his last season, would we have wanted him back?

His evaluation will help him make a decision.
    I guess they love to overpay the young ones who don't do crap for their team like Zion.

    Would the fans he lost have wanted him back? Probably not.

    However, had he managed a winning season and bowl game appearance his final year, it would not have been his final year here. He would have received AT LEAST one more, probably two.
