11.10.23 Fallout - gloves off

[cajun55]

The marketing department certainly has an uphill battle, though. A lot of people aren't receptive to marketing attempts for UL athletics. That's not to say that more marketing wouldn't work; but it is to say that marketing requires an open ear to hear it.

Why do you think this is and what can we do to make Acadiana more receptive.

We hired a local coach, I work everyday in the city of New Iberia where our local coach is from. I've seen no ads with our local coach on them and pretty much no advertising of our games in this area. We have done nothing to take advantage of having a local coach and I would suspect most casual fans are clueless where our coach is from. So this certainly does nothing to help attendance.

I was at First Horizon on Jefferson Terrace when they were giving out tickets to emplyees (for I forget which game) and not one person in the teller line knew the head coach was from New Iberia.

They do now.

This is just insanity... Such low-hanging fruit that we do nothing with. It was addressed elsewhere on the board lately that Maggard has been asleep at the wheel for some time now. What the hell are we doing?! I don't know if I am just at my breaking point or what.. but something has to give.

We are ready to reveal the final renderings of the stadium and it's been radio silence, correct? I've seen absolutely nothing outside of this board. Is there someone who knows more than me to explain if there is a reason for this?

I'm just sick of it, man... No matter how physically ill this staff and the administration make me... I will be in Troy Saturday and Lafayette next Saturday...

And by the way, there is a big get-together Thursday when they announce and display renderings. But you can't come. It's invitation only. No room for you blue collar bozos.

Head scratcher for sure. Demo is literally going to start at the end of this month and no one outside of the diehards on this board are aware. They're going to do their announcement on Thursday, invite the press. KATC/KLFY/KADN are going to have their 30 second segment on it right before they move on to Jayden Daniels Heisman talk and LSU's upcoming game. They'll post to social media and it'll circulate among the extended fanbase, if we're lucky - a well followed social media account will repost it.

My new hope is they're waiting for a change in digital ticket platform for their marketing blitz/campaign to fill the stands for the season of displacement and beyond...but I also hoped for a last season at CF campaign...

I have enough self-awareness to realize I'm complaining 2 days ahead of something we've been waiting for forever, but it's hard to ignore missed opportunities with the poor crowds fresh in my mind.

A "Last Season at The Ole Swamp" campaign would have been awesome.

Yeah well so would discounted tickets for all of Acadiana against Southern Miss last Thursday Night.

A larger crowd could have been the difference between winning an losing last Thursday.

McLeast had FREE tickets for any LC public school student their last home game of the year. What a novel idea...

Of course it is. God forbid they welcome their last vestiges of fans they have left. I swear, MH is the biggest collection of clueless clowns I've ever witnessed. I'm so close to giving up fighting to be a damn fan of this $#!+show.
