FIFY

Covid was around for all the time that CBN was the coach? This is all excuses. The bottom line is Acadiana support is very little for UL regardless of who the coach is or what the record is.

[CajunVic]

You know, he has a point.

[fanof71]

"Doesn't support the Cajuns" is directly related to "Hasn't been asked to."

Should be posted on everydoor and desk at UL Athletics Marketing etc....

No but again, he never had a season opening road win to spike the crowds.

Simply not true.

2011

Top 10 G5 attendance averages of schools still in the G5.

50,012 East Carolina
44,550 South Florida
39,865 San Diego State
35,303 Air Force
34,611 Navy
34,018 Boise State
33,320 Army
31,785 Hawaii
29,298 Louisiana

We were also in the Top 20 range in 2013 with 25,976 and again in 2014 with 25,775.

We had similar spikes in the 70's. When we are winning, the local economy is good, there is no global pandemic, and our admin doesn't get in the way, we have proven that we can match the best in our classification.

Why you either can't understand that or refuse to accept it is beyond me.

I doubt it. Acadiana for the most part just doesn't support the Cajuns.

If we come home either 4-1 or 5-0 with a win at Minnesota, we’ll have 25K at Cajun Field vs. TXST. I consider that a spike.

[zeppelincajun]

I’ve already detailed the improvements in attendance under Napier in other threads. The crowds were not what we wanted, but they were getting better by significant percentages. Anyone who suggests otherwise is ignoring facts.

Paid attendance was 7788 for the last home game. Actual was more like 5000. Why can't you accept most folks don't care. It is sad, but true.

25K in a 41K doesn't look good. And there is always the "IF".

[Turbine]

Well the whole discussion is based on an "IF"

You said the "if" wouldn't matter.

You said the "if" wouldn't change things.

Besides, "if" is how you plan for the future.

Sure, but when you are comparing yourself to your peers it’s a respectable number. We gotta at least get back to having a respectable attendance.

I agree, but I don't see the administration trying anything to get the attendance back up.
