Butch Calls out A State fans and Students...

[Big Poppa]

. . . with all you seem to to believe you know, you must have slept in a dorm for summer camp . . . or maybe before the season starts, Louisiana can approach the league, ask what money’s are received from advertising for Louisiana’s games and offer to match that plus 20% not to have advertising . . . like the ole saying goes, if there is a will there is a way . . .

I haven’t slept in a dorm in about 20 years, more of a holiday inn express kind of guy now. That comment shows you know about as much on how tv contracts work with espn and the sunbelt as much as you know about how the offseason process of a football program.

Go show that to Doc Maggard and watch him laugh at you.

The conference makes the TV deals and there is nothing the university standing alone can do. We show up when, where and how they say. The only way around it would be to go independent.

Don't get Turbine started on the independent thing.

when people like you agree to pay the $1,000, I will go talk to him. Let me know.

Ok. I agree to pay the 1000. Let me know how that conversation goes. ESPN owns the air time they selling commercials on their sun belt contract even if every Cajuns fan is willing to pay 10k.

How much do you agree to pay?

[Big Poppa]

Don't get Turbine started on the independent thing.

Yep. If you go independent at our level you wouldn’t have to worry about TV timeouts because you’d have 0 tv deal.

What is the $1000 for?

[Big Poppa]

What is the $1000 for?

If every fan pays an extra 1000 for season tickets Vic thinks espn could be convinced to run a game without tv timeouts.

[CajunVic]

. . . so, how much does Louisiana get from the Sunbelt that is generated from TV advertisement . . .

Butch Jones calls out fans after Arkansas State's win against Louisiana

Butch Jones calls out fans after Arkansas State's win against Louisiana

Arkansas State head coach Butch Jones wasn't too happy with fans after his team's 37-17 win against Louisiana on Saturday.

Jones called out fans for not showing up to the game on Saturday.

The official attendance for Arkansas State's win against Louisiana was 15,881. Centennial Bank Stadium has a capacity of 30,382.

"Thank the fans that did show up today with beautiful weather, I'd like to thank them for coming," said Jones. "We need to do something. I'm going to challenge our student body. You know, we got a team that's won five out of seven.

We represent Arkansas State. We need to start making Centennial Bank Stadium a home field advantage."

"I'm very grateful for the people that came out today," added Jones. "Grateful for everything that they do for our program, but we need to get more people in the stands.

This is a community team. It starts with our student body. So I don't know if I have to walk across campus and continue to meet, but that's why you go to college. It's part of the collegiate experience to be a part of it and it was unacceptable today."

Sometimes we think with our bellies, instead of our heads. For me the question is, Will it work? Will it bring more students to the stadium?

Or will they flip him off and refuse to come?

Things that seem obvious often don't work. I guess that's why you do serious research... what works? What doesn't?

One of my favorite quotes, supposedly from a Navy ops manual:

"If an idea is stupid, but it works, it's not stupid."

Yep. If you go independent at our level you wouldn’t have to worry about TV timeouts because you’d have 0 tv deal.

The SBC TV deal is irrelevant and unneeded.

It is too late for the independant gravy train though. The super conferences going to 9 games makes going independant almost impossible.

It was just going to be a pitt stop any way.
