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

[CajunVic]

People can say whatever the ____ they want on here. Yall _____ and moan about people "complaining" as much as people complain. Some people don't like lying to themselves by pretending issues don't exist, while some people like to say everything is great while the building is on fire, to make themselves feel like "better fans".

not really

Many have stated over the years that leadership at UL read RaginPagin. I have no reason to doubt them. Ideas on how to improve Fan Engagement, Tailgating, Mascot, Marching Band, and Pre-Game have been discussed here ad nauseam. That's not a knock on those who post on RaginPagin, it reflects the passion of the fans. The issue I have is the approach by leadership to improving overall fan experience. The motivation to take feedback, develop a time sensitive engagment plan, and implement simply does not exist.

Come Cajuns Football 2024 and we’ll see a burn ban, no beer pong, a pay only parking lot next to the stadium half full with people having to walk from the lite center, increased pricing across the board, students being fined (this my absolute favorite) and entire array of b.s. as well transforming what was once one bad ass Program with huge support from Acadiana into some pathetic liberal agenda and I’m betting an attempt to f with the National Anthem after some brain washed idiot falling in line with some tic tic programming say the U.S. is evil because Trump is gonna throw that MOHAP administration out the window of the Oval Office. Watch.

Because they know better. Who needs the people buying what they’re selling giving constructive feedback?

You can also tell the posters that are most consistently tied to that mindset, because they constantly come on here and tell people we can’t do that here because we have no money, and if you don’t get in line, you’re a bad fan. We all know who they are.

We have no money. Yet, the RCAF operates in near silence and fails to engage all possible donors.

Correct, but “we have no money” should never been the end of the story. Unfortunately it is though.

Raising money is not just about going for the homerun. A string of singles has the ability to have significant payoff.

I wasn't aware.

It was thoroughly covered here on RP

Friday evenings on the patio at Dragos

A couple of table events at the Heyman center

about as modest of entry levels as there could be with lots of promotion

Failed miserably

Guy had quit his day job just to focus on this

Failed miserably
