App State may not have a “powerhouse”, but they do have an Autonomous 5 (P5) in the University of North Carolina in their state and coming to Kidd Brewer stadium to open the season. That’s something to get excited about!!
Yes, we have a fan cULture problem that needs to be solve intrinsically. We need to change mindsets to support our Ragin’ Cajuns! Some said winning would do it. Louisiana is on a 13 game win streak in football and counting.
What needs to happen to get Louisiana football fans excited?
Coaches Road Show throughout south Louisiana
Fan Day announcement
Increase Marketing (not just passive email/social media)
Themed Ticket Blitz in July
Team Events in the community
Team/coaches asking fans to join the ride and purchase season tickets.
Keep the Streak Alive!
New thread, same ole story. This fanbase is not energized, and this home schedule is sure not gonna fire up anybody. The CF experience is not a good one, and this season has a lot of uncertainty. It is a complex issue. Winning the Sun Belt, being in the top 20 is a great start, but that's all it is, a start.
I don't think LSU can keep up with the spending of Texas/TA&M/Florida/Alabama/Georgia if NIL and Transfer Portal rules remain the same for the foreseeable future. At least in football.
This might keep fans west of the basin if LSU falls behind, but we have to maintain success.
You can't say it isn't a university problem. Decisions made by the university have a direct connection to alumni and community support.
From the average fan perspective, we had a terrible football team from 1997-2010. That's 13 years of people graduating from college who weren't inspired to care about football.
How old are those people now? Early 30's to late 40's. That's prime season ticket buying age.
You can't blame people for not caring about something they aren't given a reason to care about.
So you are saying those folks can never be won over because of the time frame they came to school? The excuse used to be no one wants to watch a loser. Now you have a top 25 program 2 years in a row. They asked for a winner the university delivered and they still not showing up. They just found other excuses. Our $h!++y alumni and community will always find an excuse why not to show up. It’s just what they do.
More than a few of the disconnected don't even know (yet) that Louisiana went 13-1 last season.
Mike Scarbourgh of Tiger Bait.com bashes our University publicly every chance he gets. I have heard him on Baton Rouge Radio over the years. In particular the Buddy Songy show. Mike is a Sigma Nu at then USL. Buddy is also USL alum. 2 guys that loves taking shots at their own university on the BR air waves.
