SBC Football Attendance

[cajun4life]

I saw someone ask when the Sodexo contract expires, does anyone know?
They are the worst and I agree we have the best food in the nation, but refuse to serve it!

Why is that?

I don’t think y’all understand everything Sodexo does on campus. They aren’t going anywhere.

Could athletic events be possibly negotiated out of the contract…maybe. But I doubt it.

Same can be asked
for talking.

There are discussions that can have depth worthy of contimplation, and then there are jabs without real thought or meaning.

Yet when people do contemplate you complain that their mind is always running

App makes everyone else in the belt ask "How?"


What's really important is to play these kinds of games," Clark said. "We had 40,000-plus out here in the rain, and our fan base showed up. East Carolina's fan base showed up. We're talking about fan experience and talking about doing the right things for college football. That's what college football is about."

A day that started with Yosef ziplining from the seventh-floor tower onto the field with the American Flag..."

Corrected for week 3. I also corrected an opponent for Week 1. Contrary to my previous post, Rhode Island did NOT have to play Georgia State on Thursday and Georgia Southern two days later.

I bounced around from game to game throughout the day. App St was a legit crowd! Texas State looked as reported as did ODU. The USM game seemed like less than reported to me; but just my opinion.
Texas State AD was on during halftime report pimping their new south end zone project which will be very nice. Hopefully our AD can present our renovation plans and timeline during one of our upcoming home games. I feel confident that the plan though ….

So many impressive things about App. Just from watching yesterday it's crazy how bought in their students are. The whole section in the stands is full and the entire endzone hill area looked like college kids. Student participation like that ensures they are set for generations.

The thing that blew me away when I made the trip up there Billy's first season was how far their fans travel to watch the Mountaineers. The people who took my friend and I in to their tailgate lived 3 or so hours away in the Raleigh area. We stayed at a hotel about an hour away down the mountain, and it was full of App fans in the morning. That's like if we had a hotel full of Cajun fans staying in Jennings the night before a game (willing to travel to Lafayette for the game and have to stay an hour outside). I see no reason not to aspire to be the best (App) but USM and Troy are much more realistic examples of where we could be attendance wise with better marketing, gameday atmosphere, etc, etc, etc.

Speaking of reported vs. actual, UAB reported about 21K. It didn't look like that much before the delay, but I assume most of the people in the area knew that storm was gonna be rolling through.
