Texas v Texas A&M

Look at UT's stadium, students, and university commercials. Did you see UT's commercial? Awesome. No ballerina with a dream that says absolutely nothing about UL or entices students to enroll. Think we can learn anything from this? Doubtful. We do things our way and look at the results. We've played on the road against some of the top programs in the country and have learned nothing. We'll get 15,000 with hardly any student attendance and think we are OK. Need to learn from the successful programs and implement. Need a restart on everything in the athletic dept. because what we are doing ain't working.

That commercial on national tv sucked! Word is the next commercial they are working on is a 30 second image of just the R1 banner!

you realize UT has 55000 students and and even the small universities in texas have more students than Louisiana schools

And what percentage of students can actually even go to the game. If we didnt have 100 pct availability for our students, and back then our own side, im not sure i would have supported the univ after graduation. I would feel strange if i was a student at a p4 and i couldnt get into the game or need a student loan to buy the tickets

The biggest difference is that their administration actually CARES about athletics! On the flip side ours sees athletics as a BURDEN and is afraid to promote it effectively. So when the admin fails to promote athletics it’s easy for students to do the same.

Is it fair to compare UT athletics or any other major programs to ours? Honestly no. But it is easy to compare the efforts of supporting athletics. When it’s more of an afterthought you see where our program has fallen to. Really ____es me off!!

Are there any kind of town halls or other forums to talk to any of these people directly. Or the board over them?

Maybe it is misunderstood what they are trying to do, or maybe they respectfully disagree and there is a valid academic reason why their way is better, or they agree with you wholeheartedly but the board is preventing them from doing what they want to do
