Sell Out USM

[cajunref]

UL -- culture of can't.

Unfortunately this

If it was a Saturday night, it would be the biggest crowd of the season by far

It may be a Friday night for USM . . .

What is the over/under on a crowd size of 20K+?

Vegas wouldn’t even put that on the board.

We don’t like a lot of effort and work around here to promote things. Marketing is not the strong suit.

[babysitter]

We can’t start the hype too soon!

Can we agree that USM is one of the biggest games at Cajun Field ever? The SBC two years running is making it a big deal.

USM canceled classes the day following the game. We should as well. Local vendors should also offer discounts with game tickets good through the weekend. Anything to hype the game. Hopefully the team is still in high contention for the West title.

Any other doable ides?

Nothing wrong with a pipe dream every now and then I guess.

It's so bad I feel like it has to be intentional, especially considering the lack of promotion following the conference championship. Could it be political sabotage? Am I I crazy to think this? Maybe, IDK

You’d think a university would want to hang a championship banner. Hell, softball and baseball have all their accolades on the walls around their stadiums.

Promote the banner hanging football game and it’s good for maybe another couple thousand.

My conspiracy theory is that there are some ncaa penalties lingering and the championship will be stripped. So the administration decided just to ignore anything associated with the 2021 season altogether.

Stop it....


My hope is that we are waiting to complete renovations and the "banners" will some how be incorporated into that.

Something as easy is this....

[CajunVic]

Each of you have a point . . . that’s what makes for fine debate . . .

I’m not serious, of course, but that’s where minds could roam with no logical explanation from the top.

I’m thinking you’re right, but even something temporary. Even if you live in an older house, you want to make it as nice as possible. Hang some curtains. Even if you’re supposed to upgrade soon.

What are the consequences for students and/or fans using the Cajuns name to organize events thru social media?

If someone made shirts to promote some nonsense for a single game - ex. Danny Lynch is a weirdo day -- is Martin Hall going to come after fans for making unlicensed apparel, even if it's not being sold for profit?

This team needs rivalries.. needs traditions.. Casual fans need a reason to hate Coastal/App/USM/etc, and they need to spread that around to other people.

This idea that we're on the verge of national recognition is a pipe dream. The P5/G5/portal system will never allow it..

The biggest pot of gold at the end of any football season is a bowl game nobody watches against a team nobody cares about.

If you want fans to show up to watch a 2 or 3-loss team play USM on a Thursday night, you're going to need creative reason to get them there.

We don't have to go full Savannah Bananas, but it's time to get weird. The P5 conference invite ain't coming, so why bother with this traditional approach? We have one of the most unique sports brands in the country.. its time to embrace it

[CajunVic]

I say full blown Savanah Bananas is where it’s at. Make it happen . . .
