That's fine so long as we don't schedule fireworks.

Well I'm fine with fireworks only if they are fired after a bulldog win

The Bulldogs will pay the Demons a $400,000 guarantee for the game, according to the copy of the contract.

I like NSU for an FCS game. However, that quote above is the only one that bothers me. That's about twice as much as I would have expected to pay. Just seems like a lot of scratch for an in-state FCS school. Tech officials better promote the crap out of this game.

Southern was paid $350,000 in 2018. They brought more folks (but not as many as the eariler game) than what NW will probably bring. But who knows.

I'd prefer a deal more like $250K plus 4,000 tickets with NSU keeping the ticket revenue for anything sold by the Friday a week before the game. All tickets not sold by then would get returned to Tech.

Thinking it's a good deal because the other team may bring more folks is so 1970s. We are not in the Gulf States now. Time to ditch these local FCS teams and start playing some FBS teams that actually bring some of OUR fans to the games.

I don't even know why you said that. You know there's ALWAYS going to be at least one (1) FCS game each year. It's carved in stone.

Of course, but that's not helping to build our program. Our fans won't show up to watch that crap.

Playing a state FCS team every 12-15 years often helps attendance some. It's more of novelty when spaced out like that and draws some interest. For instance, if we hosted McNeese now I think we'd see a pretty good showing by their fans since it's been so long since we last played, and many remember "back in the day" when we would battle them for conference supremacy. Some casual Tech fans might turn out for the same reason. But, start playing them on some regular basis and attendance would nose dive quickly.

You think our fans are less interested in NWST than they would have been in BGSU?

I was not a fan of the BGSU series. It was a waste of resources.

Play ULM and ULL to energize our fan base. History proves these two teams do that.

I believe a good AD could make something happen with Tulane and Memphis.

Tulane and Memphis don’t have good ADs. They are both snobby with huge sticks up their poopers.
