With whoever we end up hiring, I hope our fan base can forget about this year and come out next year in full force. Having my masters in marketing I would love to know what our marketers are going to do to draw people to all the games. It's obviously hard to get people excited to play a home game against teams like Tulane, Tulsa and some of the other teams in the AAC. UC needs to do something about the students leaving early from the games as well. If it's a blowout it's bound to happen, but even against Houston this year the student section seemed to clear out after half time. I remember the catskeller used to have dollar beers at half time, giving fans the opportunity to drink up on some cheap beer and get their buzz back for the second half. I don't know if they even do this anymore, but it certainly made students stay longer. I also remember when Kelly was hear he would have commercials and promotions telling people to "come early, be loud, wear red". A lot of the marketing comes from the coach telling the fans to come out, and with TT all his messages just seemed sarcastic and not important. Hopefully the next coach can get fans excited about Bearcat football again.
