Based on what?
I'll bet you probably assume La Tech is not one of these 10 or 20 schools?
Let's compare.
UL
3 conference championships
10 winning seasons
24 years of 1-A
41.5% winning seasons/years 1-A
Tech
1 conference championship
7 winning seasons
17 years of 1-A
41.1% winning seasons/years 1-A
The FACT is that we have a 1-A record better than A LOT of 1-A schools.
I'm not about to go back and look up the records of all Division 1-A schools to prove my point, but I'm sure that most college football experts would agree with me when I say that our program is one of the 10 or 20 worst in the nation. And yes La Tech is probably right there with us. I wish I could say otherwise but except for a few flashes of greatness our football program over the past 30 years has flat out stunk.

I am curious, how many season tickets do you have? Have you ever given to the UL Athletic foundation? You see I believe if you are not a contributor, why should not have the right to complain, in saying that, if you are a contributor you need to give MORE. the only way UL is gonna grow is fan and monetary support. I know, I worked there for a while and was a budget cut. It was the best time of my working life and would gladly take a pay cut and go back if I could. Let's face it money talks and BS walks.
Geaux Cajuns.
First of all...
I'm not complaining about anything! I am simply stating that there are signifigant challenges that a football coach at UL has to overcome to be successful. And they are many. So when a coach (like Bustle) can overcome these challenges (unlike most of his predecessors) you give the man a contract extension. How is that complaining?
Second, In your opinion how much does one have to donate to UL to earn the right to complain? Not that I was in the first place.
Third, I am a student. A damn poor student at that. So naturally I don't have season tickets cause I payed a fee in my tuition to get into all games free. And I would love to give money to UL athletics but I would rather spend the money on things like food, or books for school, or a new T-shirt every now and then. However I do attend all football and basketball games, and 1/3 of all baseball games. Sorry that isn't good enough for you.
Finally, why the heck would I support LSU? And what did I say in my post that led you to this conclusion?

You should look up those records.
If you did, you would find tht our record as a 1-A program is around the middle of he pack of all 119 1-A programs.
Maybe your hesitant to let go of your perception of UL football ue to the period from '97-'04. We have been 1-A since 1982 when 1-A was founded.
Let it go. We are not losers anymore.
Re: Rickey Bustle signs extention
No one, absolutely no one has to look up Division 1-A records. It has already been done. One the homepage you can download PENTATHLELAM.2004-05.xls. This gives you the record for 264 teams in the five major sports. Point proven, settled and ended.

the paper wrote yesterday that only 3 1-A schools have not made a 1-A bowl game in their history, now that 4 'newbies' made bowls this year. ULLaf, ULMon, and Middle Tenn. The latter 2, i believe, made the jump to 1-A in the 90's--thus the only "Charter Member" of the 1-A club to never be in a 1-A bowl game are the cajuns. This would tend to show you are right about their standing with flying colors. So, when the true believers show you various figures showing the historic strength of the program, remember that figures don't lie, but liars use figures.
However, there is a good chance that next year the streak will end as the Cajuns should win the Sun Belt, leaving middle and monroe to fight out the 'futility bowl.'

this is what happens when confused parents teach their probably inbred children that stupidity is a virtue. a few like this moe-ron in the athletic department should get the team off the no-1A bowl game short-list.
