Uh uh Z were you sweet on a Harley babe from Ruston. He he somehow Harley and Ruston did not slip off the tongue that easy. Great win Cajuns. It sounds like Sim needs to get these kids head out of their arses. Our baseball team reminds me of Richard's Tech basketball teams. Have a big win against a ranked opponent, then reel off 3 or 4 losses and deflating all hope..
I will email him, and let him know his presence is requested!!! :DQuote:

hey, we got it handed to us last night. y'all have a great pick up in the Cook kid. we couldnt get a solid bat on him all night. The reason he was taken out was because your offense kept him in the bench to long and his arm got cold and he started throwing in the dirt LOL
no doubt it was one of the oddest games i've ever seen with our 7 errors. it was like watching a t'ball game, mostly on our end for sure.
Good Luck the rest of the year, hope we're both in a regional somewhere.

In Louisiana, LSU, UL, LA Tech and UNO are the main schools with ULM and the other state schools behind those. There is a similarity to some extent to Texas. LA Tech has great name recognition and our name, Louisiana, will never diminish that. ULM might have a gripe, but not Tech. However, ULM doesn't really have a fight in the name game. They are UL Monroe and rightfully so. They no more deserve the UL name than Delgado. They simply rode our coatails to get the name and join our conference and should be content with that. Otherwise, they would still be in the SLC.
I personally don't really see much of a parallel in higher education between Texas and Louisiana. I think their state funding situation is much different from ours.
While I agree that UL is a far better research and educational institution than ULM, I can't agree that they are a step below us in athletics. Hell, we can't even claim to be better athletically than Mcneese! Before anyone jumps in and names the sports that we are better in, let's try to realize that football is the main driver here. ULM has regularly whooped our football team over the years, and that has to change if any claims of "separation" can be made.
Is there a return game in Lafayette this year or is a one game thing? If the Louisiana thing doesn't work out have you guys ever considered the Southern Louisiana routhe or S. Louisiana? Southern Lou. It works for that disgusting school in the next state over.
I think there are several here (not saying majority) that would have been cool with the change to "South Louisiana", so we could have also kept USL; aka, USF, UCF, etc. Would have eliminated the "double directional" reference so many hate. But, that boat has long ago sailed! Not sure I'll see this resolved before I'm a goner! :eek:Quote:

Each University System has its Flagship university and the UL System needs one, which should be UL. LSU is the Flagship of the LSU System and should not be for the UL System. Academically, we are light years ahead of ULM. Tech and UNO are close. Athletically, we are mediocre at best. But, a name change and heading up a university system is not based on a few football wins. While that may bring more notoriety, it is not the barometer for leadership. Nonetheless, I am convinced that with the changes taking place at UL through a change in leadership with Dr. S and what Scott Farmer and Gerald Hebert bring to athletics, this so-called "sleeping giant" we call UL will finally awaken. I only wish these changes had taken place 10 years ago. There is no telling where UL would be today.
I think we agree that UL's academics are in place for us to become successful, but without some major success in major sports, we will fight a ridiculously tough uphill battle for in-state supremacy, much less serious national recognition.
I would love it if the football team decided to rattle off 8 or 9 wins in a season sometime in the next 4 or 5 years. If you ask me, doing that may the best chance we have of taking our university to the next level (conference realignment, etc).
