Coach Desormeaux

[shof]

I love how the number gets higher and higher as time goes by. We did not bring 50k to Nola for the first bowl game. The total attendance was 42k. Next year was 48k against ecu and then 54k against Tulane. We’ve never brought 50k to Nola although we had the majority of the fans there minus the bowl game against usm.

True but I think the thing to take from his post is that we need someone to ignite this fanbase. The new stadium will bring SOME increase in fans that just want to see it (and many who just want to be there for the inaugural game). But we need people to KEEP attending and it’s not happening with the current university/athletic department mentality. Like many, I’d welcome HUD back to help fire up Acadiana and surrounding parishes. We certainly don’t have this type personally right now.

He ended with "We certainly don’t have this type personally right now."

There are Hud types out there.

How? With Desormeaux's salary he could live there.

. . . from a guy who has a side conversation going on every single thread . . .

[CajunVic]

However correct you may be that is a rather nuanced take.

Every fan base in the country claims total attendance as their own.

. . . sorry but that is for home games, certainly not for bowl games . . . everyone has an angle and an agenda . . .

Wasn't there posts condemning the university for making bayou shirts at the slight to The Swamp mantra?
