Game Day!!!!!

[RedTails]

What is going on? Seriously, what is going on? Is our admin jaded towards the community? It feels like they're upset with the community for not supporting the teams, therefore have given up on outreach besides social media. It's almost like the stadium renovation is begrudgingly happening now.

What. Is. Going. On?

This is an administration that has yet to has yet to recognize our 21 SBC championship anywhere inside CF. This has MH fingerprints all over this fiasco. Maggard is now a full fledged member, willingly or not.

Speaking of banners....have last years MBB championship and NCAA banners been hung in the CD? What? Too early....

It makes you wonder. Personally, I think it's about control. What kind of control? I don't know. But it's either that or straight up incompetence.

I think it's a little of both.

The powers that be are probably putting the plans thru the value engineering stage.

It probably is. It's like when I talk about "low hanging fruit." We have a volleyball tournament across the street with people coming in from all over the state. Our students have a half day of school. We are hosting a long awaited rival for the first time in over 20 years. The promo? $10 faculty tickets and Crickets.

Where's the discounted tickets to the majority of Acadiana who feel outpriced? Where is the promotion to allow parking inside the stadium when it's going to look like a dessert? Where are the announcements to the students all over campus to prepare for the game after their classes end at noon today?

All of this stuff should not take more than a few hours to plan. Instead, we once again punt.

Contrary to what some think on this board, a heavy promotion was done on campus this week for students, staff and faculty alike. There have been promos in the Advocate and on all Social Media platforms, multiple automated email notices and ticket reminders. Students got a half day. Not sure what else can be done except putting people on street corners. Lafayette is not oblivious there is a game tonight, people just dont show up for whatever reason. this is the million $ question

I was on campus for an hour+ last night and saw not a thing about a game this Thursday.

Posts on social media AND automated email reminders? Stand down gentlemen. The marketing powerhouses have entered the building.

Lazy and out of touch with the potential fanbase. They absolutely should have been on the street corners since the last home game promotion this game with huge discounts and freebies.

Marketing in this town should be like someone running for political office. People here like the personal interactions. Mass emails that people send to the trash bin isn’t it.

Lazy? We sent out automated email reminders. Huge discounts? $10 for faculty and staff. Please show some respect.

If you think this is a "heavy promotion," I hope you're no where near the marketing team or sales force.

If they spent money on anything in the advocate, they're even more incompetent than I thought. Social media blasts should certainly be part of the strategy, but they are relied upon to do all of the heavy lifting. Huge mistake. I've been through campus multiple times this week. I've seen nothing outside of the digital billboard announcement at Blackham. The students themselves are saying there is a large part of the student body that is totally oblivious to the game tonight. Are they making that up?

People don't show up for MANY reasons, very few of which are their own fault.
