GRN-WHT

Wouldn't mind seeing at least one permanent billboard for football during the season.

That was a 2-1. Along with them going to UTSA. They're more than willing to sign 2-1s.

I just flew right by them and didn't show them my ticket after the first time. It's more trouble to show tickets every time than it is to actually remove people in the wrong seats. It is an overwhelming show of force that would make the St. Louis County Sheriffs Office proud.

I wish we had an on-field salute for members of the military on 9/11. There were certainly some present, there were 2 in uniform in my section. The RV video fell flat.

We're small beans to them.

Hey Ryan, Sorry I didn't realize that you were getting paid. I'm glad you're getting compensated and you should be earning a lot more. That season ticket commercial isn't anywhere near Old Hat's best work, I was kind of perplexed they allowed that to go out. The stadium animation looked cheap and amateurish. It looked like the original stadium renderings from 2000 or whenever. Plus, the shots of old dudes standing around (sorry Chris Walker, dig the beard though) wouldn't make anybody want to come out to a game. That commercial isn't going to cut it in an area where the pro sports teams come out with some really good ads. It's not a money thing, they just think outside of the voice of god yelling to come out to games box. Posters in the square are great, but I and a ton of other alums live in Dallas and all over the metroplex, I don't see much happening outside of Denton. It's a big area. Not everybody has Twitter. Some like me are slightly uncool and only have Facebook. Some of the minor league teams around here do a good job on Facebook. Don't be afraid to promote the next football game more on Facebook. A post should go up daily promoting the next game. If you promote it sparingly, it's going to get buried. If you promote Nicholls daily starting now, you're going to get a lot more views. The stadium video is there for you guys to promote stuff. I knew attendance was going to be weak last night when I saw the game only promoted once during the SMU game. It should have been hammered down everybody's throats. There's ton of dead air on the in-game presentation. Don't let the dead air go to waste. Promote the next FB game, promote Beyond the Green, the soccer game tonight should have been hammered down everybody's throats last night. I bet tonight's soccer attendance would be a lot better if you guys promoted it heavily last night. Show that awesome goal from the Vandy game. You have that big nice video board, if there's not a play going on, it should be used to sell me something. After you do the "Macisims" segment on the video board, why not promote Beyond the Green? And by god, when the PA announcer is talking at length, like starting lineups, advertising reads etc, but some music under him. Trust me. It gets boring listening to him talk for a while, music under him while he talks will help that. Ryan, this isn't directed at you personally, just at those in charge of marketing and the in-game presentation. There are a lot of things that can be done to improve things that don't cost money, only a little creativity is necessary. Keep up the good work.

Silly argument. Then why do TV commercials, web ads, billboards, mailers, etc, exist? 6k less people showed up tonight compared to last years Thursday game. That should tell everybody what they need to know about how well RV's marketing efforts are working out.

No, we need the people who actually get paid to do a job to step up.

Please, they barely plug the next football game. Promote soccer? pfft...

Yup $10 GA

Is that not the truth?

Lower ticket prices Ticket specials Promote the next game more in stadium Give away tickets to schools (w/coupon for $10 adult tickets) Give tickets away with chicken buckets if you have to Giveaways at the door Improve the in-stadium atmosphere (too much dead air, too much fly like an eagle) Recruit a QB who can pass the damn ball But hey, I do like having cell service here so I can bitch

Don't forget about our AD who has a stellar football winning percentage of roughly .375.

30 whatever thousand responded at the bowl game. And that was mostly non-students. What's being done to get those to come back? Oh well, it's all useless now since the offense sucks.

That's the attitude of the AD and that's worked so well, hasn't it? These things sell themselves right?

They've given up on promoting to non-students. Plain and simple.

Or better depending on how you look at it.

Haha, how can anybody be surprised at this point? What meaningful efforts have been attempted to engage non-students?

And how many non-student, non season tickets have been sold?

Except for students, the crowd was going to be small anyway. Very little promotion for this game.

Including our athletic department.

How in the blue hell are people discussing if it was worth it to be on TV. Sun Belt TV revenue- $00000 CUSA TV revenue- $1,000,000 + Lets go back to the belt where our 1 real TV game a year is on Tuesday night where all they care about is promoting the games coming up during the weekend. Give me a break.

CBS Sports Network only.

Being a staffer under RV is one of the easiest jobs in sports. May not pay too much, but what you don't get in money, you get in job security.

Oh, I'm all for finger pointing, just at the right people.
