11.10.23 Fallout - gloves off

[Cajunsmike]

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.

QB Club members have been invited to the rendering display press conference. QB Club dues ae 250 annually. Thursday QB Club meeting will be at the APC as arrangements to prepare the normal QB Club site at the Tigue for the press conference will be ongoing at that time. Limited space there to host everyone interested. Perhaps the CajunDome could have been used if they wanted to invite the general public. The display could have been placed on the scoreboard where live action is shown. Perhaps I should have come up with that idea earlier and suggested it.

were you able to see how it worked for them? genuinely curious

Have not a clue. But I’ll go dig around, Doc usually does a ton of pictures.

Well, what I could see the crowd was less than you’d expect for a winless team.

35 years of epic failures to recruit on campus student to become diehard fans.

There’s the attendance problem. 30 year age gap in the fan base. A fricken administration that’s scared of its own shadow. Persecutes its student population and does everything they can to not build a fan base.

Jack ticket prices up by 70%, zero clue how to promote to Acadiana.

I mean we have succeeded in spite of ourselves for 15 years.

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.

30 seconds is probably correct, but I bet they lead off with TSAB as usual and get to us if they have time.

Or Moncla like the recruiting bashes back in Huds day..make an event out of it! Bring the band, the cheerleaders, the mayor, the the press, the pope..everyone…this is a big ____in deal

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

But why won't we remain the Swamp, new gator and all

[jaxmc1023]

Biggest thing to happen to the football program since our first bowl game, and we've put as much effort into marketing as the state did with those I-49 connector public symposiums...

Pretty typical from this stupid school

Cajundome convention center is empty every single week day. Absolutely no reason not to open that up, invite the fanbase and make this thing a huge deal. But that would take work and some caring. Great opportunity to sign up some new RCAF members.
