Someone Has Finally Listened - Southern Univeristy Coming to Ruston in 2015

[longdawgview]

They pay the conferences $1million. Looks like the schools net $460k plus ticket sales.

Did anyone catch this- "SWAC spokesperson Jennifer Jones said that the SWAC did not have plans to publicize revenue or revenue split agreements."

.......sounds like Grambling accounting

No I did not link a projection. That's was a report on last year's payout for the HOD Bowl. If you had looked above the reported payouts, you would have notice links attach to each previous year and the projection for the coming year. Which happens to match what you posted.

No I didn't post that the payout was a million, I said in the neighborhood of a million. Because until the final ticket receipts are registered, there's no way of knowing for sure. It could actually be more.

You're right. vlw posted that. Sorry.

I don't doubt the attendance predictions with 23k Tech fans and the rest Southern fans for a sell-out. But what is your prediction on the actual Game?

Bulldogs 45
Southern 21

With starters being sat halfway through the 3rd quarter and Southern scoring 2 touchdowns in the 4th quarter

Hmmm......interesting. let me think on it some more.

"We paid both schools like Eleventy bazzilion dollars.......What, check stubs, bank statements?............Statboy told us we don't have to have documentation to verify anything."

I not surprised. They normally have to do a FOI to get anything out of those folks. But at the end of the day it'll end up being reported same as the others. (The bowl payout)


I doubt if many of you actually know your conference split.

I can accept the prediction that 8000 SU fans will be scattered across Ruston and N. Louisiana Labor Day Weekend.

Not "scattered across Ruston and N. Louisiana," but on the La Tech campus in the area of JAS. If need be, we'll take the hillside under the scoreboard! We will be there in force and Ruston will never be the same again! No fewer than 8000 SUers on the La Tech campus!

Okay okay. In Ruston, on Tech campus. Not trying to nit pick. Crowd on the hill has not been discussed to my knowledge. I imagine it would pose major problems for traffic control around the end zone. Also would present problems for the band/bands to navigate that area to prepare for halftime.

I hope you aren't referring to the old south end of the Joe where we used to have a hill and scoreboard. That hill doesn't exist anymore. The old south end zone first picture pic then what replaced it.
