Thoughts on Fan Engagement, Tailgating, Mascot, Marching Band, Pre-Game Intro etc.?

Sincerely, Admin

No but seriously...do you believe that 5, 10, 30 people is the best we will ever do for an NIL event?

it’s what showed up with it all over RP, RR, School billboard at CF . . .

that’s our fan base

[CajunVic]

LoL! "With the backing of the administration". Enlighten us on how they "backed" him. Yeah, they backed him alright.....WAYYYYYYY BACK! Allowing him to do it and backing him are 2 different things. And to say the admin backed him is both incorrect and hilarious to people who know what happened. But by all means, live in that delusion.

how many did you attend

The first 'Sippin' event was the day after a basketball fundraiser that raised $150,000

drip, drip, drip

"That's our fan base" - tells us all we need to know.

If that was really our fan base, we should all pack it up and go home.

But that's not our fan base. Not even remotely close.

that is our fan base

I bet more than 3 times that many showed up here to complain, though

then where are they when it’s time to show up

they not at fund raisers

they not at Cajun Field

they not in the Cajun dome

their butts are not even in the stadium for baseball or softball except for a select few games a year where even then less than 60% of the tickets show up

where are they Mr. Rocket scientist

Reporting on what happened does not rise to the level of complaining. Though you bill it as such.

Some of those reporting were in the 5.

The answer to that is shockingly obvious.

They are everywhere. They just haven't been engaged.

If NIL was made available to high school as well, how many people do you think STM would have at an NIL fundraiser? How about Acadiana, or any other random high school you pick? The answer: more than 30. Right?

Listen, I've ragged you on this board for your years about your "know your place" takes. But this one is the worst. You are doubling down on your take that we just don't have the fans to do anything. Someone who says that is the worst kind of fan there is. And that mindset makes me want to have nothing to do with the entire situation.

"We can't do that here" BECAUSE OF THE FANS. Come on.
