    Re: Declining attendance is the rule, not the exception

    ULL's crowd looked fairly decent for a Wednesday game.

    I was not impressed with the play on the field. Very Belch-like. Thought maybe Appy State was actually good, but they didn't look like a particularly good team. Maybe they just played down to the competition last night.

    I'm sure that number is inflated by a few thousand, but even a crowd of 15K is good for a weeknight game at any G5 these days.

    ". . .
    we have zero representation on the C-USA TV panel . . ." - Dawgpix

    Is that rue and if so, why? As an engineering school it seems Tech would be a leader in technology.

    I read where the attendance was 21+. RPers claim the official attendance was less than actual. Maybe that is true but they would be the only school that would under report their crowd.

    I dont comment often on the mass delusion that is cajun fandom. But gosh almighty -- that's just absurd.

    Those sobs would lie when the truth is a better story.

    A leader in technology isnt necessarily a real-life leader. I've said this before, but ...

    The problem with hospitals is that theyre run by doctors.
    The problem with highway departments is that theyre run by engineers.
    And the problem with colleges is that theyre run by professors.

    Yep! and they all should be run by an MBA. (as should many other entities, especially the public sector...)

    Successful businesses don't treat paying customers this way. He would better serve himself to stay away from the events. Fans could then falsely think that he cares about them instead of witnessing the truth personally.

    Great club and perfect week and season to harp on this one since some have such bruised egos.

    This plays out like a silly tv bit.

    A: “Why won’t she go out with me, she acts like I don’t exist.”
    B: “Have you tried talking to her?”
    A: “No.”
    B: Glances at the camera

    ok, since you're new here ...

    Myself and others have tried "just talking" to Tommy McSnootyPants. We didnt like being talked down to, patronized, condescended, and belittled.

    So we havent talked to him since.
