Looks well attended, great job to all involved.

Were some freshmen consuming adult beverages. Can’t allow that sort of thing.

That's pretty cringe for a professional publication.

The editor should be fired and UL should have enough stroke to make it happen.

....either you change behaviors or license it.

I like the "fight on" slogan on the sign behind her. Is there anything we had that a p5 didn't steal?

Sounds like getting the word out was a challenge back then as well.... 1950: A writer for the Vermilion, Hilma Labauve, saw an article in the Vermilion about the contest.

The best Downtown Alive was when then USL hosted Texas A&M. The whole weekend was awesome and started with Downtown Alive followed by the great win.

They were parking their RVs in our parking lot way before downtown alive, easily Tuesday or Wednesday. Not sure if they paid for those spots.

LMAO. They fixed the headline and the other “Ragun” references, but check out how they “fixed” the lede.

“Music lovers and concert-goers were greeted by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL) cheerleaders at Downtown Alive (DTA) for the 2023 fall concert series.“

Looks like a "put us in our place" response.

They must be reading RP and used the other thread where cheer team said they are not "Louisiana"
