When you say follow up, what exactly do you mean? I plan on giving my works phone number to him to give a phone call to my bosses. Is this the best way to go about it?

[Oldman]

Too bad we couldn't have a dude that would do stunts like jumping on a trampoline and dunking, like they do in the pros. They could promote The Flyin' Cajun Express Dude Person. Hell, I don't know. But........... it would be cool.

[DaddyCajun]

Yes, ideas to increase season ticket sales, improve recruiting monies, sponsor an Cajun Classic Bayou, improve locker rooms, raise monies for marketing, sell ALL the Suites, etc...

DaddyCajun will not be able to go as he has to be the CoachDaddyCajun tonight, softball fast pitch girls!!

If the university wants to raise money, they should do the half and half lotto that's done at the baseball games. A dollar a ticket and if half of the fans (Let's say an average of 4,000 fans) buy one your looking at $2,000 split between the university and the winner. Multiply that $1000 times the 13 of last years games...$13,000 PRICELESS

Daddycajun, make this suggetion to Gerald.

[CajunRebel]

Oldman, can you elaborate on what was discussed?

Take that a step further and do it at football games. Set up a few booths at the entrances. If we average over 20,000 in attendance and even half of those buy 1 ticket thats $10,000 to be split every game. And unlike the lotto where you don't know if someone is going to winin a given week, someone would walk away with about $5,000 each week and UL nets an additional $5,000.

Couldn't make it. What was discussed? Any conclusions?

I think that is great. Why not????

[DaddyCajun]

Some super ideas TripleThreat and Hammer, good to hear from you again. Hammer I met you once tearing down some shelving in phase one the wet area, tralining room, equipment room etc. Trip met you at LeTriomphe, that I was told was a very good meeting, very productive!!!

LiRobi, don't be a stranger my next door boxseat bud!

I sure hope that All THREE of you are buying Football Season Tickets! Hammer is big enough if he has any eligibility left he could join the squad as a lineman!!

DaddyCajun!!

[DaddyCajun]

Lil Robi, computers are working very good, thanks again so much. Hey maybe this Summer you and your family could come over and I could burn some meat. Maybe get a few of the other box seat crew to come also!


Call me!

As far as getting people in the door for football games, I know that the 2 to 3 thousand people that miss games because of no alcohol sales hurts.

Many people refuse to leave the parking lot and tailgate the whole game. I know for a fact that attendance would increase with alcohol sales at the football games. People want to go to UL games now, let's keep them happy.

[DaddyCajun]

I did not go either and am curious to know what all was talked about. Gerald and Coach Lee both said that remodeling the locker rooms, increasing season ticket sales(ideas), recruiting monies, Cajun Clasic Tournament, etc.

Gerald did say that the indoor practice facility will again have the Basketball addition done in November also!!!
