I Guess The Students Won the Fight

Maybe a few less than normal, but I feel like this is pretty typical for a Thanksgiving week student crowd. Guaranteed no message sent.

Truth.

[RaginScotsman]

No one won. That was an embarrassment.

I get it’s a holiday weekend, but come on. There was no one there. Regular students. Greeks. Random people.

Still, after a few days has anyone been able to answer what the Greek chapters in all these threads were penalized for? The pitchforks were up from the beginning of this week’s salvo.

What are the allegations?

You nailed it!!! Thanks

The Greek saga of this year didn’t cause that abysmal showing. Thanksgiving and ULM did that. If the Greeks could have partied, that woulda been 100-200 extra students today? And they would have left by halftime.

Cajun4life is right that we need to support and grow the Greek orgs moving forward. But that should be only one of a multi-part plan to increase student engagement at Our Lady.

The problem is the majority of students coming to UL grow up in SEC country around family and friends that only care about LSU. So how do you increase the amount of kids you can convert into UL football fans? That will take some coordination between MH and Reinhardt that seems to be lacking.

One non-UL led initiative is unfolding at the elementary school that my wife teaches at. Principal is a diehard UL fan and the school is UL-first.

Not an excuse. Too many schools had student overflow attendance today. Not us. This is a major problem we have to figure out.

Nailed it. That is just an built in excuse. The administration needs to do a total reset and figure out how to market the Cajuns to Acadiana and the surrounding areas. 2024 @ OLOL will definitely be a cluster ____.

Love the “holiday” excuse from so many. Lots of schools had amazing crowds and student crowds today.

Less than 100 students…at a commuter school. Sheesh!

As much as I hate to admit it Greeks are being demonized pretty much everywhere.

Here’s Wikipedia take on Greeks and it isn’t pretty.

Why would you love it? Everyone being negative about the day today watched at home. At some point some of you need to be part of the solution.

The students that chose not to come and support this team and these seniors are the ones who lost. I don’t care if Monroe sucked or not, this was the most complete game this year. They missed a fun night and chance to give ULM players a ton of grief.

Poor word choice on my part. Meant it’s a terrible excuse and I’m laughing at how dumb it is. Shorthand version

[CajunEXPRESS]

Actually this was a good crowd for the season ending game by most seasons. I can’t tell y’all how pathetic Brian Mitchell’s last game was attended, and Jake’s, and LL1
