I doubt if we have 35,000 fans at the BC.....Gramblinites talk loud, but do nothing.

We don't ask our fans to do or go anywhere. In fact, we don't talk to our fans.... We just hope and pray they show up.

Yep, but our fans don't do much if money is involved.....Criticizing and Monday morning quarterbacking cost nothing.
We have some fans that are diehards and then we have others.

Are there any promotion efforts going on for the Bayou Classic? I'm in CENLA and unless I'm talking to another Gramblinite or someone that went to that other school I don't hear anyone talking about the classic at all. Nothing on the radio, tv, billboards, newspapers, news boards, etc. When I stayed in Indiana many people didn't even know that the classic existed. I convinced a few to come down with me and they are returning, but marketing for the classic needs to be stepped up. Social media advertisement is cheap.

They won't say a thing tonight......Our administraters have mismanaged the handling of the Bayou Classic since 2005.....The 40th anniversary was managed as bad as the 30th anniversary of Eddie G. Robinson Stadium......We better get some real marketing pros into Grambling quickly before it is too late for a lot of things.
