That is my recollection but I may be way off.

You are, as usual, 100% correct. Thanks for refreshing my old feeble brain.

I wonder if this was from the million dollars donated by UL alumnus Joe Jamail? If it is I hope he gets credit or he will never donate again.

I had heard but never verified that Joe Jamail Jr. was a UL Alum. I certainly didn't know he was a UL sugar daddy. The man is the richest lawyer in America, UL should start a Law School in his name. Questions abound: I have never heard of Louisiana's Victory Run, do they still do it? Was the Joe Jamail donation used on the indoor practice facility? I haven't seen his name on anything.

To the best of my knowledge the money wasn't donated "for" the indoor practice facility, Dr Authement just said he had 1 million bucks to get the project started.

With my work schedule I haven't made a pregame in 4 years. Anyone?

ps CajunCharlie I miss you.

Yes, the victory run happens every game, and a new victory flag is added with each win. The budget for the victory flags was broken last season. I understand that will not happen again, we have allocated enough money for 13 additons every year from now on out. ; * )

Damn, get his name and contact info to Hud.

Does not look like a UL alum, unless we have another very rich attorney with a last name of Joe Jamail Jr.

I would say to go look for his brick if he is a graduate from here. The above story says he attended SLI in the forties but doesn't mention him graduating. So take that for what it's worth. But it does seem like he is close with Kaliste Saloom as Judge Saloom encouraged him to go to school at UT. My guess is he started school here and finished in Texas.

Joe Jamail Jr. does not have a degree from UL.

I have heard variable definitions, anyone care to define Alum?

He's the devil. I'll fill you in one day. It involves a multi-billion dollar lawsuit.

Cool thread! Thanks for bringing it up. 2006 was before my raginpagin days. Sounds like CajunCharlie did a lot to get this tradition going!
