Just think how $$$$ it would be if he did. Talk about fire the team and fans up....
Although he was obviously joking as what coach would leave his team in battle, personally I would like to see him do it. I am interested in what kind of response he would get from those folks using university property for a party spot. I know some paid for it but some did not, especially the Greeks. I know of one frat that got a little rowdy last game and none of their group went into the game.
I was just thinking the same thing, Mike. Even the tailgaters and RVers. Although they paid for the spot, if they stay in the parking lot, they are not helping the program. There are others waiting in line for those spots who WOULD in fact get their butts into the stands.
It'd be fun to see him do it!
Lets get Mean Joe Greene back in town to do it...
Lets get Jake to do it!
Lets get Scot Farmer to do it!
I know this won't happen, but I wish a couple of University officials would ride around in golf carts once the FIU game starts. They would have a plat of all reserved tailgating spots and would pass by every single one of them. If there are more than 2 people at a reserved spot not in the stadium, they would mark it down (I say 2 incase that group has people watching the tailgate spot so nothing gets stolen).
Early next week, an official from the University would then send a polite email to all of the reserved spots that had a group of people not go into the stadium. In the email, they could ask what the school could do to get them in the stadium, etc.
When kickoff happens for the Troy game, they do the same thing.
If any of the same groups do not go in to the stadium again, they get a phone call stating that if the group does not go into the North Texas game, their spot will be given to the next name on the tailgating waiting list starting next season.
Again, I know this won't happen but it would be pretty cool if it did. There is no excuse not to go in the stadium. Obviously, there are always general admission tickets available, so the excuse can't be b/c no one in the group has tickets. And if they have money for booze, they have money to buy a $10 ticket.
Someone mentioned earlier about former players passing through and encouraging people to go into the game....that sounds like a great idea....you would have to be a collossal dousche to turn down Jake if he asked you to go in........
Wow Coach Hud in a way stated a challenge to those folks who attend the festival that occurs on the
grounds of Cajun Field Every Time there is a Home Game. I agree with him if you show up to tailgate get
your tail in the stadium. We are steps away from having a a huge crowd every home game and this team
unlike those of the past have a swagger to them. Somebody brought up the game after the Houston game years back. I brought people to that game I was there for the McNeese Embarrassment hell I got Nervous
when we ran Victory Formation against Nicholls We have ran that play enough. C'mon Get Red....I like the
Black helmets this past Saturday I think because of the victory.
