Should have fired Marlin 8 years ago. Fans gave up then.

Find a way to make it an event. College athletics is just as much about entertainment as it is on the field/court.
Let the students tailgate before the game on by the intramural fields. Find a way to engage the community through ticket promotions. And get the coaching staff more locally involved in promoting the team through social media, public appearances, etc.
I'd even say open the Table Room to more than just the Rebounder's Club. Create more access to the general public. What's the point of putting up gates when there's no one standing outside of them?
Less negativity on RP and RR.
There are many reasons for the poor attendance. I think we have reached a point with the program where the reset button needs to be pressed. This would mean rebuilding Blackham into something better than before.
We need a 4-5k seat, intimidating, pit of a basketball arena. We need control over concessions. Let's re-ignite some of the best college basketball fans in America.
It's time.
What would it realistically cost to have a UL bus make one or two laps at the following locations:
1. Rex Street -- students in dorms, students in on-campus apartments, faculty, The Heritage (Lewis St), The Genesis (UPA), Cottage Landing, and The Quarters
2. somewhere behind Rouses on Bertrand -- University House, TS Condos, Axis, and Bayou Shadows
3. South College - Campion (pinhook), Eagle Run, Greenwood, South College Gardens
These buses hold, what? 40? 50 people? Couple trips each stop. swoop up 500-600 people to fill the student section and rowdy this place up a little bit?
You've got roughly 3000 students on campus Who knows how many more than that in these off-campus apartment complexes, along with non-students who might enjoy a free ride to a $10 basketball game
Fire "Milquetoast" Marlin. If you want to know when he'll finally be gone, just ask him when he wants to retire. Til then, enjoy what you have, cause it's been the same throughout his entire tenuremilquetoast.
Most of us just don’t care anymore. I don’t wish for them to lose but I no longer care if they have success. I haven’t watched in over 2 years, in person or tv, and I have no desire to go back. I found other things to fill my time, and they are cheaper and more enjoyable.
Honestly I don’t see myself ever going back. Maybe one day I’ll get a wild hair but most of the time I didn’t realize they played until I get on pagin.
