After a good round of non-conference play in 2013, the UL men’s basketball team hopes that 2014 will be just as successful as the last part of 2013 was.
The Ragin’ Cajuns have won four of their last five games and seven of their last nine as they open Sun Belt Conference play today against ULM.
Apparently this is not on the radar in Monroe. Here is the Sports headlines on today's (Gameday) newstar wedsite. There is nothing about the Hoax but as usual LowTech is featured. Maybe that's how they git into CUSA. We thought they claimed the Shreveport market when the reality is LowTech owns the Monroe market:

Even when you click on "See More Sports" there is nothing in the list of available stories. I have noticed a tendency at the News Star to ignore stories about UL unless it is bad news (i.e. a loss, negative audit results, etc).Quote:

I don't know why these guys at all these papers are not visited by our AD/SID to try and build better relationships---Admittedly I visit the A-Ville paper to try and keep things going on course as we had a pass problem for a while-----What we need and I have spoken to administrators about this is a liaison in every parish to just check on UL things and help facilitate recruiting of all students to UL---Also we need a UL rep in every HS and those with more UL alumns can even have clubs---I know how teachers can influence future college choices!!!Quote:

I'll never forget the articlein the LC American Press a couple of years back just before the last game here against the Brokebacks where the sports writer wrote a diatribe expressing his dislike for UL and all things Lafayette for thinking everything here was better than Lake Cuck. He recounted his as a kid if they wanted to shop at good department stores they had to travel to Lafayette. If they wanted a good movie theater, travel to Lafayette. Wanted a good meal at a really nice resturant? Travel to Lafayette. He spent the entire article blasting Lafayette for a "superior attitude" by documenting how much better everything was in Lafayette. :rolleyes:Quote:
