where did you find those figures
Check the links. I couldn't find a top attendance records list for La Tech, so that figure came from an article on Tech's athletic site saying they hoped the MSU game last year would break the attendance record (which it didn't).
ULM's list of attendance records are in the fan guide, just click the link at it should pull up.

La Tech doesn't wanna play the Cajuns either.
And for a lot of the same reasons, it's really dumb because they are missing out on a lot of gate money in the non-revenue sports by doing this.

Let's get some NW State folks on to give Tech crap about screwing up the State Fair Game, too. 
Thanks for the Media Guide link, twoliter.

So it's better financially to have thousands less fans AND have to pay the other team to pay you than to have thousands more fans and not pay the other team?
Yes, because the next year, Tech would have to travel to ULM and wouldn't get paid or get ticket revenue. The Nicholls game isn't better than a one and done game with ULM, it's the second year where Tech would lose money.
Equitable deals had been discussed where each school could get paid off the tickets they sold to their fans, but ULM rejected that deal. Now that Dooley is here, a game against ULM will not happen until he's gone.
Word is that a deal is in the works with ULL for 2013 or later.

Tough to argue with that.
It is sweet for you to stick up ULM though.

Some of you bastards make him out to be some big brother who just learned karate or something. "Things are gonna be different now that Dooley is here." No, they're not. You're still going to be a middle-of-the-road WAC team. When Dooley leaves, he'll have left you a new weight room that is almost as good as West Monroe High School's, and a new alternate logo. And you'll probably name a fricking street after him. You talk about Dooley more than you talk about Tech. That speaks volumes about what kind of program Tech is (and always will be).

Yeah...since we played ULM right up until he got here.
Dooley has gotten home and home deals that his predecessor couldn't get. That doesn't mean Dooley is some sort of miracle worker, his predecessor was really bad. Those home and home deals with regional CUSA schools more or less guarantee that we won't be playing ULM.
Nice assumptions though...
I thought LSU men could think better than this. Most of the ones I know do. Must be that West Monroe air.

You: Well, Dooley says....
Is Dooley building a monorail?
When your coach is bigger than your program, and he's not even the best coach in his family, you shouldn't be allowed to talk smack to anyone ever.

Ok, I'll continue the onslaught because frick Tech.
In 2003, Tech came into Baton Rouge, and I was on one of the other LSU boards back then (I don't think TD existed in 2003), and Tech fans were raping and pillaging the boards with warnings against LSU players overlooking the Bulldogs.
By halftime, Matt Mauck had broken like 47 LSU passing records. It was 49-0 30 minutes into the game.
Tech actually believed that there was a chance in hell that they were something other than a rent-a-win.

A little drinking at lunch today? I made 13 posts in this thread before I made one that mentioned Dooley. In fact, YOU bought him up before I did.
Nice try though.
