trueblue82 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Yeah, that is some of it. But not many people in Shreveport care about Virginia Tech or Tulsa too. If they had a more regionally popular team like La Tech then it would have better attendence. Correct. The biggest part of the VA Tech fans that made the trip did so because it's Frank Beamer's last game. But probably not nearly as many locals as you'd get for a Big12-SEC matchup.

Another thing about the Indy Bowl is that they sell a lot of their tickets cheap to corporations in the local area and give a ton to sponsors. I used to get those tickets for free every year from someone... One year a medical group, another yr a tractor company, another year a friend who worked for a sponsor... The pre-game Indy bowl stuff was terrible too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pre-game Indy bowl stuff was terrible too...I've been to many of the games, (pretty much anytime they've had a matchup I cared about watching) and I've never paid for tickets. I have a game ball from the 1990 game (LaTech/ Maryland) that I caught when an extra point kick went into the stands. My buddy and I snuck out with it at halftime.

Coach Rab Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Kliff Kingsbury should be embarrassed that he has a QB that good and he can't protect the guy... Brandon Harris showed plenty again of "what he can be" and "what he is". One of the best things Cam Cameron did in this one is when Fournette was getting pounded from under center plays was drop back into the spread and give him some better vision. That won't cut it against good defenses... We will need QB play against Bama etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Rab Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Report is they got him. I'll say it like I did last year if he does leave... LSU's defense will be fine. 4 defensive starters can declare early, I think only 1 will... If I were a defensive guy, this is a job I ride until I get a HC offer, not a DC offer for $200k more...

You're working as a DC for a defensive minded HC, who is known for going after the top defensive recruits first. You have a chance to show what kind of defense you can build. You leave that to go work for a guy who seems to think you win games by running as many offensive snaps as possible, and who uses the bulk of his scholarships on WRs and RBs. It's a step back, IMO.

Mr. P Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 It's a step back, IMO. Same here. I don't have a dog in this hunt (don't care about LSU, Auburn, or the SEC) but I was surprised at this. I could see it if Les Miles was being keelhauled, or if it was a head coaching gig, but it's a lateral move (at best) for a nominal bump in pay. Unless his defense wrecks shop and leads Aubie to the promised land, I don't see how this move helps his stock price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost by 2 at Clemson, lost by 2 at Stanford, despite suffering more than their fair share of injuries. Think they were rated appropriately. Now they'll go down.

He didn't play for a media darling team or conference. Plus he is on the West Coast. A lot of people are asleep when they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
