Their grade partially depends on the success of their efforts. Hhmmm, I think we have a marketing field in our business school.........
    That makes absolutely too much sense...Tech would never do that.

Why should they? Yes there are true blue people who are there all the time, but for the casual fan who did not graduate from Tech, why should they come?

    LSU and UNT marketing have found a way to capture and make fans out of people who never graduated from the university. What is Tech doing to make fans out of non-students?
    Not a Damn thing...

    Re: Rice Attendance?

    This was posted by a Turd fan when asked about the projected low attendance for football vs. Charlotte:

    Two terrible teams playing a meaningless game in terrible weather and our fan base is going on strike. This is game one of our new strike. I think the fan base is officially done until Doc is gone.

    Also we have our first home basketball game on Sunday. I only have time to go to one of the two games. Can't wait to watch our basketball team in person.

    Just change "Doc" to Holtz and there ya go!

    Just think Holliday has won a conference championship, had three 10 win seasons and one team that finished in the top 25.

    We can't help that Tech is located in N. Louisiana and Baton Rouge won't combine Universities up here. Move it to Texas, Mississippi or Arkansas and things would be different vs. the bandwagon fans in LA.


    But it is located in the beautiful hills and piney woods of the Ruston area and our fans just need to go!

    Why is discussion of stupid stuff our very highly paid AD considered bitching? Look to the source of the problems no the long time fans. I, like you, want more fans at the games. Our AD doesn't care. He has a select group to suck up to and that's all he does. Prove me wrong.

    Then reach out and donate your time or funds to him, or anyone face to face in Tech's ADM, if you think that will help your personal issues with our AD or Pres.. Just paying for our kids to go there get's them a great education and the benefits but really no personal accolades or privileges for the parents if that's what you seek. It doesn't at any university.

    I know you attend almost every sports event at Tech. And like you, I want to see a great product on the field and courts of Tech. I was really posting for others.

    Tech is located in the beautiful hills and piney woods of the Ruston area and our fans just need to go!

    It's a business. Our AD is well paid to run the business. He is hurting the business. This "just do it" BS works for NIKE, but not for a team with no offense.

    The offense issues are for Skip to solve. That said, running a profitable business in N. La, and depending upon tight engineers to donate, is a tough proposition in this region for many reasons.

    The diehards are there for the most part. We can’t depend on just the diehards to float the program. We have to create new diehards, and we aren’t doing that. There are many, many things in the beautiful piney hills of Ruston and surrounding areas to do on a sunny Saturday. You have to make it the most important thing in the area to do, and right now it’s like # 98 out of 100 because the product is terrible.
