Live Game Talk: Louisiana 17, Georgia State 20

The main reason attendance is down is because every time UL has a big game they crap their pants & act like They never played football before...

I'm sorry did the Cajuns ____ their pants last Saturday when they played on national TV vs Texas State?3

I don't know. was it homecoming last weekend? And fret not Mr. President of the Cajun association. Your chair is nice & cool as well.

That is not what you said.....See below Douchebag.

"The main reason attendance is down is because every time UL has a big game they crap their pants & act like They never played football before."

I just asked a simple question about national TV and ____ting their pants as you stated.

Man, how good is your hero Trevor Penning doing for the Saints, he got benched for a guy who was on the streets two weeks ago. Penning might be the biggest bust in Saints history.

Another time that Kyle was wrong.

Let's try something. Let's do a little thought experiment.

What happens when lsubr loses a few games? Their crowds are cut in half.
What happens when they have a losing season? Their stadium is empty.
What would happen if they were in the SBC? They would average about 25k home attendance, maybe.

We need to quit acting like something is terribly wrong with people of Acadiana for not selling out Cajun Field. It is clear that the people of South Louisiana will not spend too much time and money following less than SEC level football. I'm not saying UL should be playing SEC level football. I am saying that the people look at UL every year and make a decision. Is it worth it?

This is a purely business decision. They feel no connection to UL. Who's fault is that? Who was/is responsible for the football program at UL?

Ask that entity why they have failed to make and keep connections to the college football fans of South Louisiana. Or, do they even care about athletics? Does it bother them at all?

You sir make a very good point. I will say this. I had business to attend to which brought me across the campus at University Street Saturday afternoon around 3 o'clock. Had I not known already that it was homecoming, I certainly could not have known by any signage, or recognition that there was any event going on at the university street side of the campus.

WOW!

Well, I get it, Turbine is trying to make sure things don't escalate and Kyle escalates things way too fast.

The main reason attendance is down is because every time UL has a big game they crap their pants & act like They never played football before. I didn't attend the game, didn't see the game on TV & didn't listen to the game. But from reading this thread it sounds almost like an exact carbon copy of last year's homecoming game. Wasn't that South Alabama? Wasn't the score 20-17? Didn't the team look like complete dog crap the whole miserable first half? Didn't they try to mount a comeback after half the crowd had left? Didn't they only mount that comeback only to fall flat on their faces & lose in the end giving everyone in the stadium the feeling of OMG, why do I put myself through this year after, after year, after year game, after game, after game?

It's a merry go round of misery. And you could give away the tickets & charge 50 cents a beer & free hot dogs for people as long as they attend the whole game & they still won't go. Why? Because people absolutely can not stand getting their hopes up only to know for a fact that they are going to be completely let down & disappointed.

So you can blame the administration, you can blame the alumni, you can blame the community, you can blame the city, you can blame the state. But at some point the coaches & the players on the field are ultimately responsible for not getting the job done. This team has passed that point a long, long, long time ago. Change your ways on the field & you might eventually regain the trust of the community. Win the games you must win & put forth an exciting product on the field & people won't be able to stop talking about you. Do it not & the results are overwhelmingly evident to behold.

You, by your own admission, didn’t see or hear the game, but you feel qualified to comment on it. Go away.
