I am not kidding.

Well, hell. So it sounds like, when it comes to building a strong alumni base, Martin Hall is achieving the physically impossible.

I’m closer to 70 than 60…it’s sadly now obvious, later in life, to me, having seen two ADs that are absolutely game changers, the college I feel so much passion for is nothing more than all talk, no action.

If Maggard up and left today, I would not blame him. And I’m sure the search radius won’t be nationwide…parish wide if we’re lucky.

We DESERVE to be called ULL. When it comes to athletics, our leadership can’t think outside the box, or past the city limits.

Most of us here are older alumni. Martin Hall does not care for our passion, only our money. Why are we passionate? Most here either participated in UL athletics or we attended the games and had memorable experiences. Talk about missing the point 101.

How about a new name for RCAF members…”The Two Thousand”. Because that’s all UL will get with their approach. And we’re aging out.

But we're begging them to show up to games? It's moronic

This is insane! I didn’t know this.

I'm all about new ideas... but struggling to envision this being something to take off.

Trail rides definitely don’t take off. They are usually slow and they stink.

I know a cattle rancher/horse trainer, he says trail rides "Smell Like Money."

I have been on many a trail ride in my days and in the end, they all stink. Horses at a trail ride are normally not on ranches or races.

Translation: What you call "stink" brings in money thus the "trail ride" smells like money.

Empty stadiums smell great and generate zero dollars.

Trust me, nobody in their right mind are leaving their horses tied up at Cajun Field and going into the stadium for a football game. But have at it.

You obviously missed the post about Blackham.

It's already done for the rodeo at Blackham and the Cajundome. Not everyone stays with the horses.

I can't believe...
