Well, someone sure needs to.

A director of athletics job shouldn't be to get out in the public. Another mouth piece needs to do it.

At P5 universities you have tons of people in the Athletic Department that you can get to do this, but at most mid-majors/G5 schools you don't, so the coaches/AD ends up having to do this. I agree it shouldn't be this way, but we don't have tons of extra people around capable of doing this.

The LSU AD is not the guy running around promoting LSU, he has minions for that. The UL AD is the guy on the radio and shaking hands all the time. Our AD is in the public allot more than most, or had been in the past. Nico was another one that took some of this off his hands, but without Nico we don't have anyone right now capable of being that mouthpiece.

I think the other issue is that most AD's and BM is a perfect example of this, only want some information in the public. By Dr. Maggard being that mouthpiece, he can control exactly what is said to the public. If you send a minion out and bad information gets out there, things could go array, as we have seen on this board many times.

And Hud was a great speaker and an average coach. He won some games in a bad sunbelt conference. He could not duplicate that on field success today. To win in this conference you need to be coaching 365 days a year, not shaking hands and kissing babies. I want my coach coaching. Maggard or one of his minions needs to be out public pushing this program.

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.

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.
