UL Sports Period!!

I'm still living in the 13-1 calander year, it has to be part of any valid equation.

I see more corporate money coming in than at any of my time over the past 40 years. That corporate money is helping fund the remodel of an antiquated football stadium driven by the vision of our current leadership in the athletic department. That vision plan was inspired by the input of athletic consultants that were hired to move beyond the vision of our former leadership that built two tractor sheds on the top of the south endzone.

And, I see your post that echos the vestiges of the old regime under Dr. Authement and Coach Blanco. A divided tribal view of sports that still believes spring sports brings more national interest to your brand and money to our foundation.

Football drives the wagon, it took this university 3 decades to figure it out. The MBB program isn't successful because the lack of funding, but because the head coach is not capable of winning consistently, nor raising money. Baseball and Softball are to be determined going forward.

Just for the record, I can't tell you how many times I heard Mike Lotief complain about the lack of funding under our previous athletic director.

And that same person couldn't raise money to build Coach Robicheaux a new stadium, and he wasn't exactly well funded either. Both programs today are funded at a higher level than before under the previous athletic director. All that is possible because of the success of football, not in spite of it.

Thank you. And I forget about the two sheds; so Rustonian.

Geaux Cajuns!

Recall sometime after Dr. Maggard arrived on the scene being quoted football needed to be fixed first. I interpreted that as football funding, coaching, winning, the stadium. While COVID set things back, especially budgets, progress was made. Now if Coach Marlin is permitted another season, then mediocrity is being rewarded to continue in a major sports program. That will be telling.

Of course you fall for the troll and say “post of the year!”

Too perfect

Imagine saying something is factual, without really providing proof that the budgets have been reduced in comparison to what they were for MBB, Baseball and Softball during regional years and Marlin's 27 win season.

I know the truth hurts.

With season ticket sales presumably down the last couple of years and, if Marlin stays another year, I'd assume for a second that sales will be down a bit again, I wonder if the athletic department will run some sort of specials on season ticket bundles or anything like that? Might actually be a good year to buy them again if pricing went down.

It's amazing that you have a few good football seasons and get public notoriety and everybody else can't see through the charade that is going on at UL. Basketball has done nothing in 12 years they went to the NIT once and the NCAA once, baseball has fallen apart, softball is starting to unravel. Just wake up and see what's around you, all of you guys that think football cures everything is sorely mistaken.

Football is next. Are you going to tell me Desormeaux was the best choice to lead the football program?? And those of you that live in the past and can't see what is currently going on around UL is in for a big awakening.

I have donated many thousands of dollars over the years in hopes I would be helping to make a difference, but what I have done is to help enable my university to stay in mediocrity. I'm no longer interested in mediocrity! Neither should any of you!!??

LMAO. You'd be the first to accuse me of that, Mr. Troll.

I don’t think anyone disagrees with having expectations, but there’s only so much we control as fans.
