Vehemently disagree with you on the first part of that sentence. Ragin Pagin and listening to local sports radio during college helped develop the love I have for UL athletics. It was the constant exposure. Now RP is a daily habit of mine.Quote:

Take a restaurant in Lafayette. That restaurant has to be on target for the first month. If that restaurant is terrible it will be busy for the first month and after that I give them maybe a year and they are shutting down.
Same with the stadium redo if they redo this stadium and tailgating doesn’t change, if concessions are terrible, if parking is still a problem, and our football team is losing games it’s over the fans you attracted by the new stadium are gone!
That’s why we need to be experimenting this next year with what works. I mean like tailgating if things don’t change it’s over. We spent 30 million for 2 games and every fan that you attracted by the new stadium, came to the game are going back to the house.
These fans are not diehards they are casual fans. If I was a fan of Macoroni Grill and they suck I would probably still go back, but if I was a casual diner that goes eat out once a week I wouldn’t show back up. We are the fans of the Macoroni Grill that post on this forum.
That’s why they better be on point, they better test everything and work out all the kinks when it comes to game day experience, better have lively interactive tailgating and fan engagement, and better have somewhat of an exciting team, and better compete and win when they open.
Just like a restaurant the staff better be trained, the food better be pushed out and be on point, everything must be clicking if not Lafayette will show you the door.
Same with this stadium !
If a crowd of 30k show up and we can’t handle it. It’s over !!
We better have Gordon Ramsey in the building maybe even John Taffer that first couple games when that stadium opens.

If I trolled like you did on here I would stay home and watch on my patio to, as you have admittedly do several times on here. Tell me do you and JAB ever watch together.Quote:

RR did not used to be that way, but is has evolved to that . . . how refreshing it was to have Dave there in the last episode to balance the discussion . . . you three were squirming in your chairs and could not wait to have him exit, but he would not go . . . you were like a giddy 13 year old girl when he finally exited and the “preach the suck” could commence unabated for the third hour of the podcast . . . I challenge you to go back and listen to the whole podcast and come back here and let us know if that is not what you see . . . yes, there is a time, a need a value and a limit in constructive criticism . . . that is no longer what you guys stand for . . .Quote:

We kept him on for an hour longer than his original intended allotted time because it was great content. We had other topics to cover and knew the episode would run close to 3 hours which it did. But yet, here we are creating narratives again. There’s no debate or conversations in any of the previous post. Nothing but instigations, picking arguments, and name calling. That’s why no other poster bothers to “debate” because it doesn’t exist without an elementary school insult. That’s not showing love for the university. That’s pettiness and salivating at opportunities to argue.Quote:

Same with the athletic department, you see it and from my perspective if they do not do something they will lose support.
Look you can see what is taking place, that’s why I chose to start this thread to offer solutions.
Not to bash!
. . . so now we are going to talk about feelings . . . how weak are we really as a fan base . . .Quote:

3. Any poster who comes here with an opposite view in a thread you participate in is an instigator.
4. In fact, you would go so far as to suggest that posters who challenge you view be placed on ignore.
. . . were your feelings hurt when Dave showed up on the last RR with some balanced pushback . . . was that not fair content by Dave . . . or, are you only for criticism, even when it goes far beyond constructive criticism . . .Quote:

You, as Robe said often, are like the majority and think correction is criticism. And your betters send you here, like many others, to attempt to clean up their mess. Transparent as always.
I’ll leave you with this. On two occasions, we went hard in the opposite direction of the fanbase. We implored people to give Bob support going into the 2021 tournament and we explained that Mike Des could actually be one of the most important hires in our history and he deserved our support. On both accounts, we received plenty of blowback. But we stuck to our convictions. I don’t recall you supporting us during those times. No, the only time you show up here is to cause division and seek attention. You hide behind this laughable false sense of virtue. You live in a world where you’re some guiding light of reason.
You’re just a miserable old dude with a weird TSAB complex that gets his jollies off attacking the only real fans we have left.
Lafayette would still be mailing out redlight camera tickets from that Australian company if they had adopted your no discussion stance on what can be improved around Louisiana Athletics.Quote:
