I don't usually disagree with you...but this time I do....the Socialites/Partiers will pay the price so they can be seen and socialize no matter the cost. Watch and see.
What is your definition of losing FB? Record only? or quality of play?....quality of schedule?
The drinkers/drunks hardly know the difference or really care...it is all about being there to be seen as you well know.
Take away tail gating and how many would even be there to begin with? 30K of the hardcore true Card CFB fans maybe???? What say you?
Others feel free to chime in too.
Yes, there will be 30k there.
But I think we, as an “entire fan base” have become entitled. The “build it and they will come” fans (you, me,
@gocds, Guardman, etc.), are old and becoming the minority.
Todays “fans” want it yesterday. 7-5 and probably even 8-4 doesn’t interest them.
There are no more “big” games on the schedule to them. FSU? Ho hum. We’ll catch them next year. Same for Clemson.
Games that used to be “BIG” for us, Cuse, NCST, UVA are nothing to this crowd. I remember when BC coming in here was huge and majorly looked forward to.
As far as coming and being seen? If they can get tickets in the tunnel for $10 bucks they will.
It’s been noted that we’ve lost a lot of whales. The trickle down may follow if we don’t soon get some leadership with passion and vision. And some serious winning.
You think we can “get it back”, and I hope you’re right. But I think this is not “our” UL program anymore.
Even on this board of “super fans” there are many who bitch and moan and quit on the team in the first quarter. I would not want to be in a foxhole with them
If the “Original 30k” were like todays fans? We probably wouldn’t have FB today.
Schnellenberger would have been gone after three years with an 8-24 record and the school would have disbanded the program like they wanted to pre CHS.
But patience won. There is no patience anymore.
Things change. And not always for the better.
Ramble over
