2010: Due to Midday Heat Louisiana Moves Game Time Back Where it Belongs

[RealCajun70]

_ Someone could have died last week.

End of discussion. _

How would that effect game time? There have been multiple cases of players or coaches losing their lives or the lives of family members during the season and it didn't effect the game time.

[reddot]

_ But no one did.. And now, we've annexed our chance to be in the homes of 15 million people.. _

Now the athletic department has to live with that alcatraz around it's neck.

If you or someone you know is at that age or has terrible health problems that the heat would have killed you, then you are the one's that need this T.V. game.....but oh well? We lost our TV game where these aforementioned people could have watched without being in harms way and now we could risk more people potentially dying at our football game next week. For those concerned...don't eat the spicy nuts they are potentially life threatening if you don't eat them correctly. I'm not sure if we should even play football anymore with all the health hazards. Bunch of fricken "Bubble Boys" huh?

Please...how many people watched the stAte-UL game on the Sun Belt Network last Saturday? People are acting like 15,000,000 people were watching that game. I'd be surprised if we had 100,000 watching and that's a stretch. And of that 100,000, I'd say 75% were fans of other Sun Belt schools tuning in to watch Sun Belt football.

Well I may be selfish but I like 6pm

I have to work for 2:30 games and can't make them.

[scotto_25]

That's totally fine Turbine...selfish, not really. As long as you're not missing because the sun's out during the summer......

We gotta get a dome or else we're doomed. But please don't make it retractable because that may scare off 20-30% due to the fact that it may be opened at some point during the game.

I'm kinda over the whole complaining thing for last weeks event, but the whole tv thing seems a bit over plugged. The whole argument that we took ourselves out of 15 million homes is a bit over the top, you do realize that there are more than 5 available sports channels on cable now, all of which are spread throughout the country, but the subscribers to cox cables and direct tv who carries cox sports network, I doubt anywhere on the even 100,000 people would tune into watch UL play on tv, instead of watching Notre Dame, or any other big games on tv. I am sorry for those UL fans or recruits who cannot watch the game because of being from out of town or another state. So the arguement that we aren't being shown in front of millions is a little much... I would never give up the ESPN tv time, but cox sports it's really not that bad people....

Yep. That's how we get to watch UL games here in Houston.

[Hardcore]

For me it wasn't even about the TV.

I wanted the elements to help weaken MT's spirit. They have played all of their games @ night...so I was hoping our heat/humidity would zap em' giving us a HUGE advantage! Now that will not happen.

Ok, so we crucify the admin for not doing its part and marketing the program. Then, they actually step up and help get us in a position to actually get some recognition, we complain that its "too hot", lose our TV spot, and we're fine with this? Because its hot? Boo-frickity-hoo. Scott nailed it right before me. If you can't stand that heat, stay home and watch.. Although, this is South Louisiana. If we're not immune to steamy mid-afternoons by now, we never will be. The heat doesn't stop Tigger fans, but it will scare off 1/3 of our guys? Give me a break. The excuses are endless.. If not this, it will be something else.

Where are all the "I won't stand for mediocrity" guys now?
Where are all the RCAF members?
Where are all the people that demand exposure?!

As was said earlier, sometimes, the fans of this school ARE its worst enemy..

The administration at UL had nothing to do with the stAte-UL game being moved to 2:30 pm for TV and they had nothing to do with MT-UL being moved to 2:30 pm for TV. The stAte-UL game was on TV because it was the only Sun Belt game that weekend and by default is the Sun Belt game of the week and apparently the same network feels that MT-UL is deserving of being shown on regional TV. The administration at UL did not "step up" and get us in a position to have these games shown on TV. All they had to do was field a phone call from the Sun Belt Network.

What recognition do we gain by being on TV in front of "15 million homes" but with only a crowd of 15,000 on hand? Did you see any highlights on ESPN of our game because it was on TV?

[scotto_25]

The college football game does not revolve around the Cajun fans and that's what the majority of our fans think. The game was moved up because of TV, which was awesome, now our "fans" petition, cry, write letters, fall sick and get the game moved?? This should be on the segment "Come On MANNN!" No other school in the country would have changed the game time because of the heat. I saw about 50 people wearing jeans.....WTphunk? YOU did it to yourselves people. What's next....no cheese on nachos because it burnt grandma's chin. It's getting refrickendiculous. I smell a lawsuit brewing up in the near future with all this crap. Morris Bart anyone?
