It's The Culture, Stupid....

[Ragin9221]

Prong one run off the youngsters. Prong two run off the oldsters. Prong three stop fans from talking about the game. Prong four shut down the program.

Damn is that what is really going on ! All hail king LSU, we sacrifice ourselves so they can be the dominant force forever and always.

Man I freaking knew it!

I had a laugh today. I went to Rouses in Youngsville to get some gumbo stuff. I walked by the chicken and it was basically empty aside from some wings and breasts. Makes sense. First fall weather of the season.

The reason I laughed was because of course everyone is making gumbo. Then I thought about what several people have noted. You need to know your audience and sell them on your product. We’re a very predictable people.

It's the culture, stupid...It's our culture to enjoy good food, good music, dancing, honoring hard work with an equally honored good time, interacting with friends and family, recognizing a culture in South Louisiana built on the backs of generations of "Cajuns" ( full disclosure, I'm not a native Cajun, but I fully embrace the this life and lifestyle) This culture is generations deep, it's why we all live in a one of a kind culture...

Allow me to ask WHY doesUL, season after season, sport after sport, continue to totally ignore the inclusion of this unique culture into athletic (mainly football) game day experience?

The football game day /stadium experience (after repeating the same format) multiple seasons, has really not changed despite Maggard hiring people to take charge of the situation. Are they that incompetent?

UL has ____ed away opportunity after opportunity to engage the local fan and alumni. And there are a ton of examples mentioned on these pages every season...Why this operation doesn't embrace the local culture, leverage it (along with other CF assets that sit in plain site), promote it, and showcase it on game days is just mind numbing...

Tuesday night, App plays a 2-2 COVID Carolina team in Boone. That culture will be on full display on ESPN2 along with 30,000+ fans...App leverages it's mountain culture all game long. Youseph, Eric Church, Luke Combs music, Alabama's "Play me some mountain music" it's all on display....

The whole UL athletic department should attend next week's Festival Acadiens, and figure out a way to transfer that energy, culture, and fun into CF.

It's not so much the football being played at CF, plenty of home success over the last 5 years...it's the ____zz show, high school like, in game experience that is keeping fans away...there is nothing Ragin or Cajun about CF on game days...it's the culture, stupid..or lack there of...

Agree. But we're screaming into the ether. They ain't gon' do $#!+.

Is it just me or did we take it up a notch with our "____ the older fans off with the music" strategy yesterday? Not only was it 95% hip hop, but half the time the bass was turned up so much it wasn't even discernible what songs were playing.

The bass sounds good IMO but it might depend on where you are sitting

Hopefully after the stadium Reno, the sound gets dispersed better so it is more even through out the stadium

The music yesterday was definitely hip hop heavy. Week 1 had more rock/ metal mixed in. I wish they would get back to that a little more

I can’t believe the music DJ at Cajun Field doesn’t play the song “I’m from Louisiana” it even has 337 in the song. It’s a no brainer and used to be played during the Hud days.

They do. More than administration reads. Coaches and players are on here also.

The real version has so much profanity that every other word is bleeped out in the version that they can play at the games . It loses its effect IMO

It is played at VC home games. Surely it could be play at UL.

It's a trashy song for trashy people. No thanks
