If there is a good turnout, then use it to promote the upcoming Basketball & Baseball seasons. Whatever we were doing in the past definitely wasn't working. You have to get the students interested in the Brand; our new brand is LSU New Orleans. The old brand wasn't selling, sorry if that ruffles feathers, but it is the truth. We couldn't pull 1,000 people into Lakefront Arena for a home game.

I'm perfectly ok with that and agree with you.....trying the same things over and over was just stupid and wasteful and a failure. No problem trying something new. Just don't make UNO something to improve LSU, it should be the other way around.

reduno - I agree with you.
My analogy is that we are both General Motors products, LSU is the GMC and LSU New Orleans is the Chevrolet, we have less bells and whistles, but we do the same thing!

We give a great education for a good value.    

I am happy to have people in leadership thinking outside the box.     We need that.    

The status quo is not going to cut it moving forward and while we might be a "Chevy" today, we need to be a better equipped and have better appointments to compete for the students today and tomorrow.   Kids are going to want to kick the tires and see the potential under the hood.    

We need to "rev" it up a bit and I think the "interim leadership" is doing just that.   Pour some of that "high octane" thinking into the carburetor and get that pedal to the metal.....

Now back to my regular programing.
GO PRIVATEERS!!!
