Going back to the video board. Why don't they do little interviews during TV timeouts, like stupid things like favorite food, movie, etc. They did these in the past and provided some funny moments. It not only fills timeout voids but allows our fans to get to know our players more

No, that's too good of an idea...it'll never fly...

And/ or use the new ribbon board to flash scores from other games of interest. That could be done in between ads

Maybe I'm wrong, but do they even have the ability to stream live video to the board? When they trot people out to be recognized on the field, they didn't show them on the board, unless I missed it.

Replays look like TV footage

I wanna say this offseason I saw a video with Sam and someone else in the creative department saying they had "new toys" and it was a camera synced up to the video board.

Things I miss the most from attending games in the 70's with my dad, from when I was a student and from when I first got season tickets....

1) Reacting with the rest of the stadium to scores from other games being flashed on the scoreboard.

2) Thumbing through the Program during the game and keeping those Programs as souvenirs. To this day, all I have to do is pick up an old program and I immediately remember something from that game.

3) Hey Baby. Zydeco Boogaloo.

4) The chili dogs.

I meant pre-recorded videos not in game videos. They do show live video as they show the DJ numerous times

The social media promotions are needed. Next step is to find a way to promote the program to people who are not regular social media users. Dr. Maggard spoke at an event I was involved with back in 2021. He said on average he is at some type of function 3 nights per week. Now that is probably dealing with our current supporters. Probably need someone to speak to organizations like area Knights of Columbus councils.

Bro......your missing the point. This has NOTHING to do with his coaching abilities. ZERO. I'm telling you.....his ability and want-to, to get out in the community and engage, invite, get much needed donor cash flowing in, was the true reason for how he got people in the seats. Whats so hard to understand and/or acknowledge that? Besides, I never once said Des had to do that. In every post I talked about the admin....the university, being the ones who needed to do this. I was kidding about the HUD making a pass thing, but maybe I was right. It's weird.

Relax. I’m entitled to my opinion. No he didn’t make a pass at my wife. I appreciate Hud for getting our program to new heights. I believe he’s who we needed at the time. His presence in the public was also a positive at the time. But if he wouldn’t have been such a mouth piece but the program succeeded on the field like they did, would the crowds have been there. I think they would have for reasons I already stated.

And I also think for all the fans his public appearances may have added in his successes he lost just as many or more when the winning fell off and his backing of the antics came to light. I believe that situation put him in a tough spot and I don’t blame him for the stance he took, nor do I think supporters should have jumped ship. But it happened and they haven’t returned. Billy’s support of the team March probably did the same thing to keep those supporters away.

We have a program full of fickle fans that don’t need much reason to stay away. And the negatives out weigh the positives. I want Dez to win games, that it. If the fans don’t show I put none of the blame on the players or coaches. They’re pulling their weight right now. Hopefully we have a good crowd for HC and get a good win. Maybe that alone will turn the tide with the fan base some.

It has been said ad nauseam, Lafayette is one of the only areas in the state that has steady growth over the last 5 years. Our population here is not declining. Also, 20% poverty rate but average household income of $82K? You actually believe that?

Yup, makes sense. The gap keeps widening. Very top heavy salaries bring up averages, but the 20k+ swing to the median indicates a large population on the low end. The numbers have increased greatly since mid 2010s.

What are the median and average incomes in Lafayette? The average annual household income in Lafayette is $82,752, while the median household income sits at $55,329 per year
