Game Day!!!!!

[R1Letterman]

All LHSAA volleyball players, parents, families, coaches should have an open invite free ticket to the game tonight. Tons of them are in town. Open invitation to see the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns!!!Game day!!!

Problem with that could be, if admission is free doesn't that make every student-athlete become classified as a recruiting visit? And thus they and our team might go over the limit?

At least tease us with the Cajun Field renovations reveal. It was my understanding tonight is the night they show things off on National TV. Is that still the case? If so, let the fans know.

It was probably going to be during a commercial break lead-in, but since the other thread asked for less commercials it is on the cutting room floor

Also that would mean only the casual fans get to see it, and those actually in the stadium are out of the loop?

The optics of doing that on national tv with a mostly empty stadium in the backdrop.... Oof

Oh well. I'll be inside the stadium and wouldn't have seen the announcement anyway. Hopefully some updated renderings get released soon

That plus a stinker last week really puts a damper on this game. Attendance will be awful.

Honestly I can't remember a home game that I have felt this lethargic about

Same. Which is crazy. If you had told me 10-15 years ago we’d have a nationally televised conference home game against Southern Miss, less than 10K were expected, and I would barely want to go…man. I’d have thought you were nuts.

Of course. But show the renderings on the video board. You can even have images of the new Cajun Field at some of the entrances around the stadium.

After a few years removed from 2 years in the top 25 and two SBC championships. Wow. Crazy times.

It’s just crazy. We have been wanting USM to come to Cajun Field and here it is. Maybe we will be surprised and people will show up??

IDK, that seems like a lot of hard work.

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.

We have been wanting a rival with Southern Miss for decades. Well, we finally get it with with them joining our conference and hosting them at Cajun Field for the first time since 2001. And what does the university do to promote it? $10 tickets to faculty/staff. Most of this group barely knows we even have a football team.

Where was the push to Acadiana fully well knowing that this was a midweek game and attendance would be less than a Saturday? Once again, we blindside ourselves.

Last 10 times vs southern miss, southern miss has won, and 7 games were in Hattiesburg.

3 trips there for every one trip for them before they joined conf. ???

That goes along perfect with the fact that most students don’t even know we have a game tonight. Who’s in charge of promoting this kind of stuff?

Many high schools in the area have a playoff bye this week. Great opportunity to reach out to players and coaches and offer discounted tickets.
