Re: Future OOC Games
What's wrong with playing Rice? I realize they're C-USA, but they've been fielding competitive teams. While I don't know anything about how their fans travel (or attend their own games for that matter), it's not that hard to get from Houston to New Orleans.

Re: This doesn't seem that much ULL sells 12K season tickets
Found that article I mentioned. And as I said, a lot of Cajun fans complain about the practice because others tend to report inflated attendance numbers. When he heard attendance at Cajun Field for UL’s 49-35 win over New Mexico State last Saturday announced as 30,028, Ragin’ Cajuns coach Mark Hudsp...

Re: This doesn't seem that much ULL sells 12K season tickets
Tulane has a completely different fan base than ULL. Most Cajun fans that buy tickets actually attend the games. But Tulane has many fans that buy season tickets but live out of town and only make HC if that. 99% of schools count tickets "distributed". ULL is unusual if they don't . Just ...

Re: Southeastern Louisiana
Should be a great gameday experience in the Big Easy with Yulman packed with fans.
What do the Lions return on offense and defense from last year? I'm thinking it must be a good number of returnees to rank so high in the FCS preseason poll. How about your skill players, special teams, etc?

Re: Football Squad/Meeting Room
Generally high schools are not recruiting the kids that play there with the exception of a few so facilities mean very little.

Think about what? Ok, I was having some fun with that one. As a large black dude, I can see how calling our stadium the plantation wouldn't be cool, but I got a good laugh out of it. That would make for a great Dave Chapelle skit. Or Key and Peele. The irony of a stadium called "the plantation...
