Take the ESPN contract and burn the Damn thing.

There is no point to paying for Tailgating with this contract.

It's out of the school's control, but this is the main reason why the season long tailgate model is not worth the cost

Looking forward to this game though as it's a huge opportunity for our team

Yeah, and chances for a victory just went wayyy down.

Wow. This is almost getting too much to take. Losing good players to NIL and other poaching and now moving the best home game in years to an 11 am kickoff. I feel like we, the fans of G5 schools, are the red-headed step children and inconsequential afterthought of college football. This is getting ridiculous. Are they trying to make us quit being fans of college football?

UL played great against Kennesaw State. I had flashbacks of the Napier years of dominating defense and powerful running game. We certainly have momentum and a lot of anticipation for the Tulane game. Lots of inquiries from casual fans about tickets to the Tulane game. Riding this momentum and enthusiasm, Brian Maggard yesterday at 5:30 pm set out a text asking everyone to give $10 a month to the NIL collective. Then today at noon he announces that we have an 11 am kickoff for the Tulane game.

I remember another highly anticipated home game a few years ago got moved to an 11 am kickoff. The Boise State game. We put on a valiant tailgate attempt but it was not really tailgating. The game was very hot and they were carting people out of the stands that had heat related issues. I watched the second half from the breezeway near the concessions. I wonder what ESPN would do if we said no? Do we want to be on ESPNU that badly? The football fans that want to watch UL/Tulane can find it on ESPN+. How many casual fans will watch the game on ESPNU? So we give up a great home game against an in-state rival for what?

Recognition, good.

Time of day for parents in youth sports, bad. I’m out. Unfortunately. Will try to give the tickets and parking passes away.

I’m interested in the tickets and park passes for the game pm me when you get a chance

At 0800 Light up the big screen with some classic SLI, USL and UL games of the past.

3x5' flag with our bad ass helmet on it to the first 1000 (if too many), make it 500, if too many, make it the first 123 souls through the gates. 123 rep'n our Program's history of Football since 1901.



Format the flag with simply the helmet on a white background.

Since espn+ became a thing, playing these games at 11:00 am or on a week night on “National” TV are not a positive.

Tons of people don’t have ESPNU, and playing there when ABC, FOX, ESPN, ESPN2, the SEC Netowork, the ACC Network, the Big 10 Network, CBSSports Channel, and FS1 all have games on at the same time means absolutely ZERO as far as exposure and growing the brand.

Nobody will watch this game that didn’t plan to do so already. And the ones that can’t go and will watch on ESPNU, would have watched it in the originally scheduled time slot on espn+

This is awful news. And another kick to the balls for the fan base.

Speaking of balls, someone in Athletics need to learn to say 'no' to this BS and the SBC too

Yeah, and chances for a victory just went wayyy down.

So we're starting to make excuses already for the outcome because of the kickoff time?

[Swamp]

Think of incentives to get the attendance back to where it was going to be. The thought for one sec that this is a good time slot for us "get exposure" is living in a dream world.

Tulane|Louisiana under the lights would be 20x more in our favor.

Since this option no longer exist and we now play before lunch, better make that commerative Cajuns Football flag available to the first 1000 souls and nothing less.

Not excuses. Facts.
