Week Zero Football in French Canada

Oddly, reading this thread in Saguenay Quebec. 150~ miles north of Quebec City. Either Quebec City or Montreal would be awesomeness. Love the idea!

Nice etymology, fact is lagniappe is part of the Cajun French dialect.

Turbine, in all due respect but who ____ing cares? None of this is going to "brand" us to french speaking cultures around the world who probably don't even watch american football in the first place.

Reaching the language of the heart holds the most value of all advertising efforts.

Louisiana's online curriculum is the only real area of potential growth for the 21st Century.

Whether a potential international student listens one time or becomes a lifelong fan, they will never forget the time they heard about the University of Louisiana when it reached the language of their heart.

Old thread, but I still think this would be a solid idea. Can NCAA football teams play exhibitions against U Sports teams? There are quite a few U Sports programs in Montreal and Eastern Canada. If it’s legal, I think that could potentially work better than a P5 program because it would attract more fans in that region. Not as many people in Canada are gonna know an American P5 school. JMO
