A change in attitude and direction

Agreed, 71’

The home opener in the new stadium will damn near be a sell out. It’s up the administration to figure out how to get everyone to come back. It just sounds like they don’t want to figure it out.

They couldn't sell out if the admission was free. Don't kid yourself.

Change in latitudes, change in attitudes.

[R1Letterman]

Wow thats succinct.

Tells you where action is needed.

But if we had a small donors to fill but no big to build we would have even more complaints here

[R1Letterman]

Why not run for office in RCAF, get them to run it the way others do where the shareholders can vote

. . . they could . . . GM for the Wildcatters went free bozorro and put 8,000 in the CD for that one game . . . Paid attendance 187 tickets . . .

JMV, this is Lafayette we are talking about. The community likes shiny new things and will want to see it first hand. That stadium will be 90% full for the inaugural game once everything is completed.

Blue Collar...That's what Acadian is and has always been, blue collar. Think about it, even if you have a white collar lifestyle, chances are you or someone in your family started out with a blue collar career...farming, oilfield, machine work, off shore work, factory work etc. Maybe you have your own company, chances are your start was a blue collar start....hard work, tough decisions, financial setbacks..tough times.

The cULture ( all UL sports) are at its core, are blue collar...no one gets a pass, work, keep working, work harder...all coaches speak that language...at P5 schools, it's next 5 star player up, here it's who works the hardest...

So, if Maggard and his minions along with RCAF, would take on a new attitude...Blue Collar Cajuns. Lafayette has median HH income under
$60k...The top half of the medium income has been soaked or have no interest in supporting UL.,.but the bottom half does. UL has managed to alienated thousands of the under 60k crowd...change the direction and focus to blue collar folks,appeal to the "you work hard you should play hard, see you at CF".....it's untapped, forgotten, and ignored part of the areas population, The cULture is all hard work and hard play...Blue Collar Cajuns

Le douzième Cajun!

When a school teacher with a degree from Louisiana can't afford to take the spouse and kids to a football game, that's a problem. The truth is they've priced more than just blue collar fans out of the ability to attend a football game. It's clueless to price alumni out of the ability to take the fam to the homecoming game, but that is exactly what they've done. They've lost all perspective.

They offer a product that is not worth the price of admission. And as if to add insult to injury, they hire an alumnus, pay him more than 10X what the aforementioned teacher makes, and when he doesn't get the job done they continue to pay him obscene amounts of money to not get the job done.

People see through that, you know.
