How to create excitement for UL Athletics?

Louisiana's world renown trampoline team use to do outreach demos when I was in H school.

Would that have been during the period Jimmy Youngue and Don Waters were here or Leigh Hennessey later?

The ice gators do not exist, I don't think we want to go down that path! Would be pretty funny to have another Cajun Chicken night and do that though!

To be fair, no one will ever understand why the first iteration of the LA IceGators collapsed at a time when they would almost literally fill the Cajundome. And after the first collapse, there was no bringing them back.

Everyone knows why. The prices became insane and the ECHL cut back on the fighting.

You make a good point.

Even though I watched a film on campus as a kid with a woman giving birth... HELLO! Trampoline outreach was my first in person meaningful exposure to Louisiana as a school.

As far as who was in charge on these exhibitions, it did not stick, but I could probably figure it out, unless you can tell.

When the Berryman brothers who were marketing gurus offered to buy the Ice Gators from the local owners, the locals got ____ed thus removing the Berryman’s. That was a huge mistake. The crowds disappeared.

Of course the murder for hire situation is for another conversation….

It was slacking but the collapse was changing leagues.

My opinion, slacking is an understatement…changing leagues contributed. Was this the new management’s decision?

You may be right, I never got to go to games,

I was in radio at the time and was the PRE-pregame announcer that introduced Bruce Levine and all the sponsors.
