Includes the allotment to Ohio U (10,000 I understand) with reports that Ohio has sold less than 1000. It also includes my 16 that are going un-claimed.Originally Posted by bulldogbacker2
With poor weather forecast, I predict actual bodies in the stands at <25,000.

Prob true about actual attendance
Expect just enough attendance to disappoint the backers, and too many for the non-supporters. How frustrating would that be?
The one thing that we have to remember with all the doomsday talk regarding the poor attendance at the I Bowl, the bowl committee doesn't have to concern itself with how many butts are in the seats. Sure, it looks nice on TV to have a good crowd. But they're far more concerned about dollars; therefore, their chief concern is tickets sold, and that includes any unused tickets that are sold to the participating universities. They get their ticket money from those guys either way, and they get money from the season ticket holders whether they attend the game or not. The weather, and bowl matchup, probably will have a major effect on any walk-up crowd, though.
the bold, the beautiful, theprofessor
The one thing to remember is that the primary purpose of bowl games is to create the largest local economic impact possible. Ticket sales should be of secondary importance to hotel room nights, restaurants, entertainment, and tax revenue.
Also, dont forget sponsorship. If Advocare does not see an equitable return on investment in the Independence Bowls television viewership, expect it to look towards other bowls or other marketing techniques who might give them that. Ohio vs. ULM will not generate a positive television rating, especially with its current time slot.
It is true, idiot. What do you mean claim. Tech has lost more NC games and won more NC games than NLJC has played in.
That is stupid even for a NLJC'er.
The I-Bowl isn't a major bowl game. Any teams they would have selected would garner about the same tv viewership. Hardcore college football fans and gamblers will watch the bowl games regardless of who is playing. Do you really think there would be a ratings spike if LA Tech was playing in it? Don't kid yourselves.
I will red dot everyone who responds to or reposts from this flamer. I suggest all do the same.
Yes. Louisiana Tech University is a nationally known name. Nobody knows what NLJC's name is but seem to be favoring LaMon.
I won't respond to the flamer with any message on the open board, but I did red dot him with a comment about how ULM will always be found lacking when the achievements of ULM and Louisiana Tech are compared to one another.
I assure you, outside of your region, Louisiana Industrial Institute is no more known or respected than ULM.

Bullshit. I can assure you that.
The truth is LA Tech is more known & respected nationally than it is "in our region." Maybe those in our region will figure that out one day. Secondly, most on this board could not care less nor do even think about ULM. Some do & for them they will probably congratulate you all on your first bowl game & wish you luck. For the rest, they are either haters or just don't give a rats a_ _! Most Tech fans are pissed at the Bowl & hoping that they feel it in their pocketbooks this year. Nothing against ULM. So you don't have to lurk on our board & tell us how great ULM is. We are not buying.
